And Congress ruled for 60 years and they haven't done anything. The last BJP PM was the closest to resolve the issue.
And Atal is gone now. Even if BJP gets to rule for next 5 years, Modi will be PM once again. Do you honestly believe, Modi will resolve this issue which the likes of Vajpayee, Manmohan and Indira couldn't resolve? If you do, don't think there is anything to debate here!

Swashbuckler & SIF,
What do you have to say about this 'holy' alliance? As far as I know TN politics, DMK is on a upswing and would not be surprised to see them winning at least 20-odd LS seats in coming general elections...

Not sure how a half arsed response to a major terrorist attack will help the BJP. If anything it will harm them as it’ll expose them for being all talk and no action.

Opposition is in a panic mode just like NDTV and few of our posters here after Mulayam Singh speech
Look, the fact is Modi is still by far the most popular leader in the country. The fact that all opponent parties need to come together to beat one man, tells the whole story. No one can beat BJP/Modi 1 on 1 and hence the formation of this Mahamilawat khichdi alliance. And lets look into the contradiction amongs the people in this alliance:
The case against Akhilesh Yadav (SP) was registered by Mayawati (BSP)
The case against Mayawati (BSP) for illegal statues was registered by Akhilesh Yadav (SP)
Chit fund case against Mamta (TMC) was registered by Congress.
Case against Robert Vadra (Congress) was done by Kejriwal (AAP)
Kejriwal registered a criminal case against Sharad Pawar (NCP)
And now all these leaders coming together just with one agenda to beat Modi. Ok what next after Modi being defeated? A fool would think an alliance formed by such people would work. The country will be a mess.
Its high time opposition and few people realize that there is no substitute for Modi in present Indian politics and accept their fate for the sake of the nation.
#NaMoAgain
Modi is more popular because Rahul is in opposition,see Congress bring in anyone else other than Gandhi and he would feel the heat.
This election the vote would that would matter would be anti-Rahul more than anti-Congress of pro-Modi.

If DMK and Congress don't win a lot of seats, it will be a huge upset.
Sad part is I hateeeee DMK but right now AIADMK is toothless.
I honestly don't know whom to vote for.
Jayalalitha death was such a blow.
Kamal is an idiot.
Rajni a fraud (not that he is contesting).

The very reason NDA had lost previously was because of the disastrous logic of allying with AIADMK than DMK, it was a complete 40 seat sweep that year 2004 lol.
Im guessing TN will have 39 this tr around seeing DMK-Cong getting 22-25..
would be a big boost for em considering they will win in Rajasthan,Chattisgarh and MP.
BJP will be nowhere near the seats they got last time coz getting 72 in UP is impossible and its already downward spiral in MP,Chattisgarh,Rajasthan, Karnataka.

They will only be majority, but not the same mandate as 2014..Congress and alies might get swing votes of north ,In south Naidu and KCR will not ally with BJP in that case do you realize how it will go and no way is bjp getting 72 73 in UP.
On Rajasthan i back Congress to come good, would say it will be neck to neck in MP but Shivraj is good leader and will defn help the BIP defeat Kamal.

South Naidu is himself going away. YSRC is sweeping.
KCR has supported the NDA throughout in the RS.
Whatever loss bjp will make in CGH Raj and Jhk, will be nullified by gains in north east Bengal and Odisha.
If bjp wins 50 seats in UP they will cross majority on their own.
Right now most people have BJP at 220 to 230. This was before the alliances, the budget and the 10% upper caste quota.
Also Congress in UP is gaining. They will cut the minority votes of SP BSP. Plus Shivpal Yadav is with them and will cut the Yadav votes of SP. So UP is very interestingly poised.
Generally agree with you but I don't like late Amma one bit. She was what Lalu x 10. Personality cult, mindbogglingly corrupt, freebies to gullible electorate at the time of elections, etc.
I know Kamal is an idiot, has always been but how is Rajni fraud? I'm genuinely asking this.
BJP will also lose seats in MH, Haryana & Delhi.

Imagine being a voter in UP. What a thankless job you have of choosing among the least of the following evils. 
:
1. Priyanka Gandhi
2. Yogi Adityanath
3. Mayawati
4. Akhilesh Yadav
Expect a lot of people to choose the default option #5 - sit at home.

What boot licking? Yeah sure, it isn't boot licking, lol.
And why do you assume that Ritesh was hoping to hear something in favour of Congress? AFAIK so many family members of same family in Indian polity have different political ideologies.
Love the way you put Priyanka on top, as if you know what does she bring to the table. Bisht has been so abysmal in his governance in just 2 years that first 10 slots should be reserved exclusively for him and him only.Imagine being a voter in UP.

I made a random list in no particular order but why are you vouching for Priyanka Gandhi?
Yeah, his governance will be the reason why BJP will win majority of seats in UP in coming LS elections? Does Muzzafarnagar rings a bell?
When did I do that? Considering Bisht (and Modi) is the current incumbent, his governance (or rather lack of it) should be the issue in LS elections and not a greenhorn like Priyanka...why are you vouching for Priyanka Gandhi?
Yeah, Fadnavis is such a future teller that he knows that Modi will be a 3-term PM! Why? Aren't there any other better leaders in BJP that Modi will occupy PM post for 10 more years? If this is not personality cult and boot licking of the highest order, what else is it?
So I gather from you that Bisht isn't abysmal..Ok, then.

Fadnavis said what he felt.He was asked a question and he replied.
After Modi retires may be Yogi can be next PM candidate.
So I guess you know nothing about polarization on religious lines etc, something which BJP is world champion at....Futile discussion this then.
You may not know but one of the foremost reasons of BJP winning 72 LS seats in last LS elections was Muzzafarnagar riots...

lol, you can't be serious this time! If you are then I think what I thought about you is true after all.
Hell, no! He spoke like that as he knows where all the power is concentrated within BJP.
lol, if you genuinely think that Fadnavis spoke his mind in this instance (nobody in BJP is allowed to do that unless there are instructions from Saheb), then you are being extremely naive.

[MENTION=147527]MP2011[/MENTION] Brother, a week has passed since the attack and all BJP has been doing is playing politics. It is as if they don't care about the martyrs. Bhakts are busy with photoshops and inflaming hatred and communal fire. Modi was busy in a national park during the attack, carried on in a manner that would have resulted in public outrage if only the media hadn't been so sold out. Then the Saudi Prince visit and back again to globe trotting.
Has there been a more shameless PM in this country's history? Where is the statesmanship? And instead of attacking Kashmiris, journalists, opposition, activists why isn't the sellout media questioning the dumb pair of Modi and Doval? How can they go unchallenged, without any responsibility after the attack? Is it wrong if we ask them why it took place, the security lapses, path forward etc? There is no proper Kashmir policy and here we are doing stupid nonsense that is making us look like fools before the world. Can't Modi make an official statement asking the people to maintain calm and not indulge in mob violence? Can't Modi realize that his policy is failing? They are all taking the people of India for a ride.

Mark this post: Modi will remain PM but after getting pulverized to a good extent. He will realize that he has to buck up for the next 5 years for it not to happen again.

DMK/Congress are favourites but DMK conceded too much space to Congress. Congress didn't deserve more than 3-4 seats. Now see them make a mess, similar mistake happened in the assembly election. DMK gave them over 40 seats and they won only 8.
Amma had many negative traits but she was better than the rest. She was corrupt but nothing before the Karunanidhi family, Marans etc. I mean nothing, only thing she got caught while the big thieves are still free. Good administrator, pro-social justice, pro-poor, pro-rural, tough on terror (took on LTTE at their peak) . All politicians have negatives but she cared for the downtrodden relatively speaking, check Amma canteen if you ever come to Chennai . Lalu destroyed his state but under Amma, TN did well.

Yes, Agree on Amma cult figure but still better than all other options, although DMK is the biggest culprit has been useless since they enabled Alcohol sales in TN. , Tamizhans like Bengalis have severely underperformed due to the politics.(Bengalis even more so)
Aiadmk though is worse for business, the municipal corporation is most pathetic ever, My family has had so much issues getting license for fastfood etc..,they are a huge pain with thay regard, DMK esp during Stalin mayor era was remarkable for business.
Fully agree with this. Congress didn't deserve these many seats. AIADMK fully understood what BJP's real worth is in TN and accordingly left only what 5 seats for them?
You would know better than me about TN. My main impression of her came from the discovery of so many goods and cash from her Poes Garden residence in mid '90s.
Anyways it's good to know the kind of welfare activities she undertook for people of TN. However her biggest drawback to me was her being pro Modi in her final days.
I agree DMK is even more vile.
As for Modi, whatever depths he could have fallen to, he has fallen. He is beyond any shame. As for that guy Doval, well a lot of bhakts hold him in very high esteem. With so many disasters under him, wonder why he hasn't been sacked as yet. But when your country is being led by most shameless and incompetent of them all, then Doval is still a nobody.
So if congress doesn't deserve and Modi is bad for India, who is the right leader for India?
So basically there is no good leader in India.

Ruling party/coalition in TN always tries to be allies with Delhi, there are historical reasons. I think this trend started from MGR's time when he found that being in opposition harms the state. If not alliance at least they make sure good relations are maintained. Amma was a seasoned politician, no surprise there. She would definitely have sensed the changing direction of wind.
Last edited:
Yeah, agree with that. What are your views about O Paneerselvam? He to me looks nothing in front of Amma.
If DMK wins at least 30 LS seats, Modi will be hard pressed to win another term as PM as I don't think they'll move towards BJP after elections. Modi tried his best to usurp them by personally visiting Karuna, a la him hugging Nawaz Sharif on his birthday but DMK surprisingly held firm.

OPS is corrupt and a submissive clown, nothing compared to Amma. Frankly speaking, the TN political scene looks very grim.
As I said DMK gave too much space to Congress, huge blunder that could cost them post polls. They can move towards anyone, very corrupt and you know how Modi plays the CBI card. I don't even care much, just hope both BJP and Congress suffer humiliation in the state. As bad as the Dravidian parties are I will take them over those 2 national parties.
this was a was big security lapse no doubt but at least we aren’t seeing terrorists attacks all over India.. which were the norm during 10 years of congress rule.
I guess most people have forgotten all that by now. If nothing else BJP has been pretty good in terms providing security there citizens. During congress era the situation was pretty bad not to mention all the scams ��*

More than a week has passed, no question to our PM regarding national security. Manmohan hardly spoke but he was always taken to task over terror attacks. Also how low has Indian bhakt media and opposition fallen? Does this government have no shame? Once upon a time after terror strikes people in charge would take moral responsibility and resign. But Modi and his cronies have removed all forms of decency in Indian politics. Nirmala Sitharaman our Defence Minister is a blot on TN, I offer my apology on behalf of all my state people to other Indians because that's how ashamed I am of her. She has abandoned her actual duties and does all sorts of nonsense be it calling a press conference and labeling Congress a Muslim party (***) or praising her boss on various platforms. Post of Defence Minister is so vital and we have a cartoon character like her, disgraceful. Home Minister Rajnath Singh is another troll who is busy pimping up the North Korea news channels, less said about PM the better. He was doing touristy things when CRPF was under attack, started cracking jokes immediately a day after.
As for Nirmala, well she has proved once again that in Modi raj, your bhakti towards him counts for far more than your duty towards nation.....
Even in these times, she is busy blowing Modi's trumpet!
I guess we do not get good DMs these days. Probably George Fernandes was last of our good DM.

[MENTION=147527]MP2011[/MENTION]. Pretty much what Jaded said reg Amma.
Amma had also returned the land which DMK members stole from people in southern TN. The gratitude people have for her is immense.
Had she been alive, even in hospital, DMK would have been quaking in their boots.
--
She ain't great for business tho.

I’m not one to engage in conspiracy theories but the more I look at the more the kashmir attack seems like a false flag at this point. If that wasn’t one then I’m not sure what is.
This was the worst possible time for Pakistan to help carry out something of this nature. Finally we’re getting major foreign investments, tourists are coming in and there is semblance of continued peace in the country. And most importantly army and civilian government are on same page.
The only party this has helped is modi and his re-election campaign which was in the doldrums before this

The BJP will and should win now. I remember being in Mumbai during the attacks in 2008 and the inefficiency of the MMS congress still hurts. I don’t care about the timing of this, nor what was achieved. But URI, Doklam and Pulwama is the direction I want the country to move into. I cannot vote now for BJP but I will make sure I donate heavily to help them.

I wouldn't be so sure about the whole 'tensions with Pakistan = good news for the BJP' predictions.
In 1998 we had the Pokhran-II nuclear tests under Vajpayee and then a year later the Kargil War - yet at the general election which took place only a couple of months after Kargil ended the BJP only got 182 seats and their share of the vote actually decreased.
If the BJP go down the whole jingoism and anti-Pakistan route during this election I think they'll be taking a huge risk.

What are the Indian posters views on the elections? Will Modi loose seats? Will there be a new PM?

The BJP will lose seats. What they did in 2014 was peak BJP and barring something really exceptional they won’t win an overall majority again.
272+ is needed for an outright majority. Anything above 200+ should still let the BJP come back to power in a coalition.
Anything less than 200 and all bets are off. The opposition may well be able to form a multi party coalition in such circumstances.

Interesting. So it does seem like it will be Modi again as PM.
Mission accomplished for Modi-Shah. Surgical strikes can now go to hell.Bookmakers quoting 250+ for BJP
AAP has to be the biggest disappointment and worst party around. Leave aside their horrible politics, This so called “middle class” or “educated” group of people started with aim to clean up the system. Turns out they are complete opportunistic and immoral. Literally begging for Congress alliance.... and thus want to be part of the status quo and power. Congress still represents the status quo...

As everyone knows that this man is in electioneering mode 24x7. I must commend him though that even in these stressed times, he hasn't forgotten his no.1 duty.
