Indian general election - April and May 2019 - Discussion Thread

[pillionrider]

That's good for you, but hey at the end of the day BJP won and majority are happy....

No it's not good for me. My state voted BJP.

 

[Romali_rotti]

No it's not good for me. My state voted BJP.

Awwww Ohh whoops I meant >>

 

[pillionrider]

Awwww Ohh whoops I meant >>

Enjoy your moment. Of your Ozzie vote counting in Modiji's comeback

Ohh whoops I meant >>

 

[Centurion]

I marvel at the foresight of Mr. Jinnah. I really do. He looked through the facade of secularism and patriotism and reached the heart of the problem. We have to be extremely fortunate in order to see another great leader like him.

The BJP wouldn't have existed had it not been for Mr. Jinnah. He succeeded in communalizing the whole subcontinent along religious lines forever to satisfy his hunger for power. Muslims would have been the second largest majority in Undivided India and an extremely influential and powerful one at that.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Enjoy your moment. Of your Ozzie vote counting in Modiji's comeback

Ohh whoops I meant >>

Good boy , Modiji all the way, now

 

[kaayal]

Wah Modiji wah wah.

Hindus nearly double the next religion and this logic....

Just accept that there are still parts of India remaining that have rejected the BJP.

It's actually true. Wayanad constituency includes some of the taluks from Malappuram district which is one of the few muslim majority districts of India. My hometown is in this constituency. Hindus account for a little over 41 percent of the electorate in the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency, Muslims account for a little less than 45 percent and Christians account for 13 percent.

 

[MP2011]

What you are actually supporting Vadra going to prison ?? No wayyyyy

Comprehension issues?

 

[Bigbb]

Absolutely loving the meltdown of the pseudo Liberals and false flags here.

Keep em coming.

 

[msaaim89]

Picked from the BBC article regarding Rahul Gandgi - 'His father, grandmother and great-grandfather all served as Indian prime ministers'.

So congress party is a family business much like PMLN and PPP in Pakistan.

Guess people are tired offamily politics in India?

I guess they are not getting enough vote here because of the presence of Communist party. Otherwise the hindu majority will be voting for the BJP.

There is a feeling among the communist party members that minorities betrayed them

Nehru, I spit every time I have to type or pronounce that name, single handedly destroyed India..... He is the reason why there is a Kashmir issue now, loss to China in the 62 war.... Never again shall the Nehru bloodline come into power (I HOPE)...

 

[Hornbill]

It's the time to seek independence from India and make Rahul Gandhi PM of Kerala

 

[kaayal]

Lol, how is your kid

He is sleeping.

 

[Madplayer]

I beg to disagree, India was very different post independence, large parts of India rejected Hindutva politics for a long time. Even during the 90s BJP struggled in most elections. The weakening of Congress because of dynasty politics has played a big role in strengthening BJP.

If you think India has always been like this explain the politics in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, even the Telugu states. Bengal is still under Mamata. Do you know BJP has never won a Lok Sabha seat in Kerala, never won an assembly seat in Tamil Nadu? Failure of Congress has helped BJP. In places where there is strong regional party what inroads have RSS/BJP made?

By India i meant the vast majority of India. The south Indian states which you mentioned have high literacy rates and they can recognise nonsense which isnt the case with rest of India. As a matter of fact, in the early years after Independence, Indians didnt even vote in such mamoth numbers. Those who voted used to have some semblance of awareness and education. Now when the average joe on the street has started to vote and the percentages have increased, you can see the results. In a matter of 15-20 years, right wing has become a much more stronger front than the left could become in over 50 years. Sure dynasty politics has caused problems for congress, that cannot be ignored either. But the bigger picture still remains, Indians by and large were like this and now this character has become emboldened. It will become even more deep rooted in coming years.

 

[Madplayer]

The BJP wouldn't have existed had it not been for Mr. Jinnah. He succeeded in communalizing the whole subcontinent along religious lines forever to satisfy his hunger for power. Muslims would have been the second largest majority in Undivided India and an extremely influential and powerful one at that.

Aha so you want muslims to suffer for your utopian idea of what India would have been like? Muslims are still the second largest majority in India. They are powerless now and would have been powerless if division didnt take place either. Jinnah didnt communalize anyone. That had happened already with majoritarians running around. He saw it and saved the muslims from eternal humiliation. Till this day we can see condition of muslims and especially Kashmiris under India. All this proves how great a visionary Jinnah.

 

[Romali_rotti]

. All this proves how great a visionary Jinnah.

Errr NO, Jinnah was no visionary, he was agent built by the British to cause divide between hindus & muslims. British made him and he eventually took their ideology and helped create Pakistan...

 

[Madplayer]

Mr Jinnah's theory failed on 2 fronts:

1. Bangladesh liberation from Pakistan.
2. Muslims in Kerala, TN, AP integrating with the mainstream and being well off in terms of education, health, employment, security. If you ever meet a Muslim from those places ask them whether they regret the decision of their forefathers to stay back in India. You know how racist the Pakistani officers were towards the East Pakistanis, even making fun of their food habits and language. Do you think a dark skinned Tamil speaking Muslim would have fit in Pakistan? I have seen them avoiding even North Indian Muslims, they always prefer to hang out with fellow Tamils.

Even if i concede these two fronts, the second of which is a minor one given the fact that south Indians, regardless of religion , only care about their indigenous culture and dont give two hoots about staying with India or any other country. These "fronts" pale infront of dignity and independence from a majoritarian system. Both of which were achieved by Jinnah

 

[Madplayer]

Yeah, well done indeed. However she is still a small problem though. Bigger challenges await us now that bigot has got almost similar mandate as last time.

What do think will happen to the character of Indian society in next 5 years? Will India be declared a hindu rashtra?

 

[Madplayer]

Errr NO, Jinnah was no visionary, he was agent built by the British to cause divide between hindus & muslims. British made him and he eventually took their ideology and helped create Pakistan...

Yes everyone was British agent who didnt dance to the tunes of Nehru and his ilk.

 

[CCAD]

I hope I never have to work outside Tamil Nadu. I do not think I can tolerate the political opinions, fascism and bigotry in North India or Maharashtra, Gujarat, even Karnataka is a gone case. I will live and die in Tamil Nadu, the more I see this kind of bigotry in Indian politics (eg. Pragya winning) the more I am thankful for the Dravidian movement. I have always been an AIADMK supporter but right now I am glad DMK is sweeping the state. You can't shake hands with the devil and expect support in this land, no matter what the reason may be. I also don't want Congress in my state, Kamaraj passed away 45 years ago. Tamil Nadu must be ruled only by Dravidian parties. This is the land of Periyar, Kamaraj and Anna, not of Nehru, Gandhis and Sanghis.

Don’t act like Tamil Nadu rejected BJP, more like you guys only vote for one of the 2 Dravidian parties.. that too depending on who is giving more freebies during elections.

 

[CCAD]

Aha so you want muslims to suffer for your utopian idea of what India would have been like? Muslims are still the second largest majority in India. They are powerless now and would have been powerless if division didnt take place either. Jinnah didnt communalize anyone. That had happened already with majoritarians running around. He saw it and saved the muslims from eternal humiliation. Till this day we can see condition of muslims and especially Kashmiris under India. All this proves how great a visionary Jinnah.

Kashmiri Muslims conditions is their own fault. In rest of India the muslims who want to work study and mingle with rest of the community are doing well. The one with the menalaity of everything against us.. doesn’t matter whether they are muslim or not will struggle anywhere in the world.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Truth hurts, I know....

 

[MP2011]

With 56" at helm of affairs with almost similar mandate as last time, everything that is detrimental to the idea of India, isn't beyond him. We'll plummet to even greater depths as if where we are currently, wasn't enough.

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Modi will most likely win again in 2024. Don't see a strong opponent coming up before then.

 

[Bigbb]

Modi will most likely win again in 2024. Don't see a strong opponent coming up before then.

Lol. Don't do it man.

People here will have panic attacks, if they are not already.

 

[Chrish]

So Indian Trump wins

And Congress have become Democrats.. Have no hope left of winning due to unqualified candidates

 

[kabbirann]

We all knew BJP would win this election, some of us were hoping against hope. But the state of the opposition lies in tatters today, Congress has to get rid of the dynasty and start from scratch even if it takes 15 more years to mount a resurgence. Meanwhile all regional parties should come together and form a third front alliance that is non-BJP, non-Congress.

BJP getting blanked out in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, not a single seat LOL. Again in Andhra they have got zero. Respect to these 3 states and Punjab.

Ditto.
Am not surprised that BJP won but am still surprised that people like Sadhvi Pragya won.
Well, every country decides it's own destiny.If Sadhvi Pragya's are what India wants ,then Sadhvi Pragya's are what India get's.

 

[Sachin136]

And Rahul has even lost in Amethi. His day keeps on getting worse.

 

[Technics 1210]

I am not surprised BJP won, given BJP cronies had 6 weeks to rig the counting.

 

[Chrish]

So meditating in cave helps you win the election??

 

[Realromeo]

Pretty sure Nehru was the main reason for the existence of Pakistan. Read scholarly written articles.

Jinnah was an opportunist who took advantage of the Divide-and-Rule policy of the British to gain political power. The bloodshed his actions caused were irrelevant collateral damage to him. His legacy the permanent polarization of South Asia into strong religious identities, so much so that even today after over seven decades Hindu vs Muslim discourse is mainstream in India (not in Pakistan as Muslims there have managed to exterminate Hindus from their homeland).

What respect? So the rest of the 26 states are to be disrespected? Bjp won 300 seats. Thats the mandate of the people of India.

Bjp is leading in 19 seats in Bengal. They have won seats in Telangana also.

So except Kerala Bjp was won seats everywhere under Modi.

Modi is PM of India not TN or Kerala.

Bjp came into being only in 1980. So ofcourse it took 15 years to get into power.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Pretty sure Nehru was the main reason for the existence of Pakistan. Read scholarly written articles.

Nehru and Congress refused to bow to the communal demands of M A Jinnah. Thats the only good thing Nehru did. Very happy that he refused to accept the demands.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

It’s remarkable how many seats in UP the BJP kept hold of. Most thought that the BSP-SP would win back dozens of seats.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

A terribly sad result for me personally.

But congratulations to BJP and its supporters for their victory.

At the end of the day, the people of India have spoken and we have to respect it.

----

Deep down all of us knew that BJP had an advantage this election but no one could have predicted this rout.

I mean....300 seats for BJP vs 50 for Congress eclipsing the 2014 shellacking.

That too after by & large poor performance by BJP in the last 5 years.

Even during campaigning I saw Modi go on and on about Pakistan, Balakot, nationalism, Rahul Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and what not....while Rahul Gandhi focused about issues like employment, demo, gst (along with some Rafale and Chowkidhar Chor Hai thrown in).

Yet we get this result.

How did this happen?

From what I can see, there's no point in blaming...

1. Poor alliance stitching by Congress
2. Mahaghatbhandan
3. Modi using Balakot strikes in his campaigns

The gap is WAYYY too big for any of these factors to have made all the difference in the end.

Even if you give NDA zero seats in UP, they can still form the government. Such has been their dominance.

It all comes down to a FUNDAMENTAL POINT:

People have rejected Rahul Gandhi as PM. They don't see him as someone capable of leading the nation. They don't mind voting Congress for state elections but in Lok Sabha elections, it's MODI all the way.

Adding to that, Congress haven't executed their poll campaigns well.

1. Nyay was introduced too late. Plus people were a bit skeptical whether Congress can deliver on that promise.
2. Rahul Gandhi interviews came out too late.
3. Allocation of tickets were a mess. They didn't control infighting.

It's incredible how they MANAGED TO SCREW UP inspite of having so many issues given to them on a free platter by Modi & BJP.

The only explanation is that Congress's leadership simply doesn't inspire confidence among the voters. So much so that they are willing to give its opponents 350 seats inspite of non-performance.

So now it's Modi rule again.

For another 5 years.

Him & Amit Shah deserve it though. They have been relentless in their planning & execution. As much as I dislike them, I admire their focus and determination.

For me, there were 2 silver linings....

1. BJP hit TMC hard in Bengal. The sooner TMC is vanquished, the better it is. The amount of violence during every Bengal elections is unprecedented. Had it been a super fair election, I think BJP might have done even better in Bengal (just my guess). I am just hoping that when BJP captures power in Bengal, the violence will come down as they have a national image to maintain (I could be wrong in this regard). However, it's going to take a lot of time. I am hearing all the Left cadres (some of them goons) are joining TMC/BJP. Time will tell how this will play out. With TMC and Left destroyed in Bengal, we will see emergence of other opposition parties in there. Bengal will experience development.

2. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the way Rahul Gandhi carried himself during the campaign. Full of grace, poise, humility. The way he handled all the questions posed to him was commendable. He may not be the sharpest tool in the shed or the most charismatic but he's a good man with sincere intentions. Maybe politics isn't cut out for him. Still furious at him since he is the SINGLE BIGGEST reason Congress lost but he does have a lot of admirable qualities. He tried to conquer HATE with LOVE but just didn't have it in him to do it. Oh well.

Congress has to self introspect. The place where it had a real leader (Captain Amarinder Singh), BJP couldn't do anything. Time for it to start looking beyond the Gandhi family (though I doubt it would ever happen lol).

Our nation needs a strong opposition. Massive mandate with no real opposition can be very dangerous.

Let's hope for the best.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

[MENTION=134809]sensible-indian-fan[/MENTION]

Yeah bro you did. I was wrong.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I am not surprised BJP won, given BJP cronies had 6 weeks to rig the counting.

You are one clueless poster. lol.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Also one last thing....

You have to be truly incompetent to lose your own constituency which was a party bastion for decades.

If Rahul Gandhi can't even win in Amethi, he doesn't deserve to lead the Congress party.

What the hell did he do for 5 years as an MP?

I thought Milind Deora losing in South Mumbai and Sadhvi Pragya winning from her constituency were 2 of the lowest points in this elections. I'd definitely expect people of India to do better than this. Slightly surprised by the margin of BJP's victory, did not think would cross their last time tally but I guess we all knew who would win.

 

[SportsWarrior]

Out of 50 constituencies with >30% muslim population
NDA(BJP+) - 27
UPA(Cong+) - 8
OTH: 15

Muslim women seem to have sided with BJP

Yeah...Sadhvi Pragya....no words. No accomplishment except going to jail.

But then when you can appoint someone like Yogi as UP CM, why is this any surprise?

----

Aatishi is an accomplished person. Improved the Delhi schooling system I heard. She lost probably due to hatred for Kejri.

Kejri though deserved it. Absolute idiot who blew up a golden chance.

 

[SportsWarrior]

Or BJP consolidated the Hindu votes.

Very much possible. But if any consolidation happens in UP it will be on caste lines rather than religious lines. It would have helped MGB more. Most of the central government schemes like gas connection, free health care, toilets, etc will help Muslims as much as Hindus. Couple that with triple talaq there is a good chance that Muslim women voted for BJP

Yeah pretty sure some of the Muslim women votes would have gone to BJP.

This time consolidation in UP happened on religious lines, hence BJP could perform well inspite of MGB.

 

[MP2011]

Now that BJP has won and won big, hope they don't raise petrol prices like they always do.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Regarding Pragya people vote on party lines. Same with Gambhir. They are new with nothing to show but are riding modi wave.

100% Agreed.

Which is why this loss is on Rahul.

Take TN where people dislike Modi.

BJP got routed. DMK swept the Lok Sabha seats. Congress won almost all the seats too (aligning with DMK).

But the assembly bypoll results are similar for AIADMK and DMK.

Stalin must be feeling dejected.

Had he sided with BJP, he would have got no seats.

But when he sided with Congress, his seats are of little use.

 

[MP2011]

Or BJP consolidated the Hindu votes.

This. Consolidation of Hindu votes is single biggest factor in this election, as it was in last UP assembly elections.

 

[Savak]

Apparently Modi has been excellent for India's economy and therefore the major reason for his landslide win, the anti Pakistan/Muslim stance is a distant second. Maybe Indian posters can confirm

 

[MP2011]

Apparently Modi has been excellent for India's economy and therefore the major reason for his landslide win

Lol, you know nothing about India then.

 

[ILcricket]

That the vile oaf got such a huge mandate shows how voters overlooked his performance in last 5 years . Polarization , jingoism worked - sad day for secular social fabric of my Nation

 

[SportsWarrior]

100% Agreed.

People are voting smartly.

DMK swept loksabha but not assembly.
Same in Rajasthan, MP, orissa, Karnataka, and virtually everywhere. Voters know where they will get the most value for their votes. They are clearly differentiating between local politics and national politics. Nationwide it is a common modi wave where as strong local parties have held their own in South.

TN it was always known case anyway and actually may be good for bjp. The voters in TN always flip flop and honestly bjp does not need those seats this time. They may need them in 2024 and hopefully TN voters will flip again and vote ADMK aligned with NDA

In kerala expect a major BJP wave like the one we are seeing in Bengal for 2024.

 

[MP2011]

Indian electorate has to be most gullible electorate of all times to have voted on something like Balakot which happened weeks before voting took place instead of voting on real issues which were bothering them for last 5 years.

 

[Sachin136]

Or BJP consolidated the Hindu votes.

While I'm sure many Muslims voted for the BJP, this is also true. Modi has brought an end to caste-based politics and has united the country.

 

[jagatk]

Congress has to self introspect. The place where it had a real leader (Captain Amarinder Singh), BJP couldn't do anything. Time for it to start looking beyond the Gandhi family (though I doubt it would ever happen lol).

Our nation needs a strong opposition. Massive mandate with no real opposition can be very dangerous.

Let's hope for the best.

Whose fault is that, Gandhis have systematically eliminated any State leadership whenever it raised its head so as to keep their crowns. Even now they are trying to cut Amrinder to size by giving a leg up to that joker they borrowed from BJP.

 

[SportsWarrior]

Indian electorate has to be most gullible electorate of all times to have voted on something like Balakot which happened weeks before voting took place instead of voting on real issues which were bothering them for last 5 years.

Right, just because you didn't get the results you wanted suddenly it is the fault of the voters and they are gullible. Every single analyst agree that the biggest surprise is the maturity of Indian voters who clearly voted based on local and national politics. But you go ahead and stay in your bubble just like how opposition leaders are doing now.

 

[Bigbb]

Apparently Modi has been excellent for India's economy and therefore the major reason for his landslide win, the anti Pakistan/Muslim stance is a distant second. Maybe Indian posters can confirm

Accurate.

Do not be fooled by the loksabha verdict in Delhi. AAP is definitely coming back to power in Assembly elections. People of Delhi are smart that way, they knew no point for voting for AAP in LS as they are not a national partybut when it comes to Assembly elections they will look at local issues.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Indian electorate has to be most gullible electorate of all times to have voted on something like Balakot which happened weeks before voting took place instead of voting on real issues which were bothering them for last 5 years.

Just wait and watch. Price of milk and petrol will increase soon.

Matured electorate, lol just because you got the results you wanted. See it works both ways.

 

[MP2011]

Just wait and watch. Price of milk and petrol will increase soon.

You are too slow. Milk prices have already been raised by 2 Rs just after voting ended.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

While I'm sure many Muslims voted for the BJP, this is also true. Modi has brought an end to caste-based politics and has united the country.

Congratulations. Your vote played a huge part in BJP's win.

Nehru, I spit every time I have to type or pronounce that name, single handedly destroyed India..... He is the reason why there is a Kashmir issue now, loss to China in the 62 war.... Never again shall the Nehru bloodline come into power (I HOPE)...

LOL What a dramaybaaz type post. Have some shame, hes one of the founders of your country.

Modi will most likely win again in 2024. Don't see a strong opponent coming up before then.

Came to say this. There is not one single pan India party that can challenge BJP. Congress will not see the glory days again until they kick out Rahul and the Gandhi stooges. The rest are just either regional parties or clown parties who rely on a certain caste to get them to power.

At this point, I see BJP to stay in power until Modi retires from politics.

At the end of the day, you cannot get a lot of votes by just saying "I hate Modi", which was the only agenda of opposition. They had zero things to talk on themselves, zero achievements.

Look at Smriti, she lost in 2014, yet still worked for Amethi and now is rewarded. One still have to work hard irrespective of the verdict. Congress especially Rahul does not like to work hard and thus has no results and achievements. The onus is on opposition themselves to reinvent and bring new ideas, leaders.

Muslim vote seems to be badly divided. Shia and Muslim women vote seems to be divided. They may have gone with BJP. Only the Sunni men may have gone with either congress or local parties.

If Muslims and Dalits combine to form a party, then they may have some success. They form over 30% of the population.

Hell the megalomaniac never mentioned BJP in his election speech - it was all poor backward tea seller bhikshak MODI MODI MODI !

Not really, the opposition talked about Modi more than Modi talked about himself. The opposition thought Muslim + their own caste votes is enough for victory, but that was weak and pathetic attempt to win over the public

Well said. Only 56" was talking about his caste, his 'humble' background, him being an outsider to Khan market gang and what not.. Btw, 56" does love his Khans....

Introspect, yes we should introspect that how come this good for nothing nautanki could get re-elected.

You should introspect how come you and your ilk get fooled by this guy, again and again.

Smriti is one C grade ..... i better refrain from shaming vile oaf's lying close friend !!!
Never dissed women ....

Do not be fooled by the loksabha verdict in Delhi. AAP is definitely coming back to power in Assembly elections. People of Delhi are smart that way, they knew no point for voting for AAP in LS as they are not a national partybut when it comes to Assembly elections they will look at local issues.

Yeah, but talking about national stature.

Look at where Kejri was back in 2014 and where is he now.

Had he played his cards right, he would have been a big player at the national level. Not in terms of seats per se but a leader with a growing influence.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Whose fault is that, Gandhis have systematically eliminated any State leadership whenever it raised its head so as to keep their crowns. Even now they are trying to cut Amrinder to size by giving a leg up to that joker they borrowed from BJP.

What happened?
