Jats comprise of 25% of total votes in Haryana. However, sanghis have been using the combination of Dalits + Punjabis + Vaishyas to very good effect for last decade or so. And results don't surprise me one bit.

However, we should brace for more incompetence from the ruling party in Haryana as has been the norm. First Khattar and then Saini.

Is Saini that bad?

You guys think congress overestimated Jatt influence?

BJP voters came out after the June 2024 shock?

LS it was 5-5. May be congress seats were overestimated by everyone?

1. Congress overestimated their performance in General elections.
2. Congress did not manage their state leadership fight between Sailja and Hooda
3. The wrestlers protest had a different perception at the ground level in Haryana than what we saw in National media. I am surprised at how small the margin Vinish Phogat won by just 6000 votes.
4. Punjabi farmers and Haryana farmers are distinct voting blocs with different preference.

BJP will control law and order and police anyway. They're already in control of Jammu..its not that bad.

Compared to Khattar, even a donkey would be an upgrade. However, that counts for nothing. Administration had come to standstill during last 6-odd months of his rule. However, that may be due to impending elections. I'd give him the benefit of doubt.

Will judge him in a few years time.

I agree. This victory counts for nothing for NC/Congress combine. Just like ruling Delhi counts for nothing for AAP due that feku stooge Saxena obstructing everything in Delhi.
 
Congressi id**ots blaming EVMs again. What a bunch of fools! They should ask their governments in Telangana and Karnataka to resign then then. The same EVMs were used there. The same EVMs were used in J&K too. So Congress should not accept the results there either.

Already said this,

Sore loser attitude from them. They should accept this result and send Hooda to retirement home. This is 3rd consecutive election Congress has lost under him in Haryana.

If EVMs are manipulated what about J&K results and Congress winning 99 LS seats?
Click to expand...
No matter who wins or loses - parties should stop blaming EVM's. The EVM staff and the election commission do such a thankless job. Just are easy punching bags for losing party. Its like what Trump did in 2020. You lost because there was vote cheating, voter fraud, EVM manipulation etc etc bs nonsense - it spoils the people's mind. Conducting elections in a big nation in Ind is an exhaustive process and hats off to the Ind election commission for conducting free and fair elections in such a thankless atmosphere. Parties should think - if they do a good job, people will vote for them automatically and they dont need to resort to these blatant EVM lies when they lose.

Just looking at seat count can be misleading when analyzing election results.
Congress vote share compared to General elections went from 47% to 39% and BJP went from 46% to 40% and hence the difference in results we are seeing today.

BJP cannot increase beyond the Jammu region of J&K and they are holding it firmly.

The little inroads in Kashmir valley by BJP are still something to notice. A few decades ago, BJP did not even dare to field candidates and now they are finishing in top 5 in the valley.

AAP has disappointed the educated middle class. It was a sliver of hope but it has become just like any other political party.
I lost faith in it about 10 years ago, after the messed up Punjab elections.

Its a small progress bhai, very gradual and with some demographic changes. Change to reflect at assembly seat level might take atleast 20 years but BJP is trending upwards and thats nothing to scoff at, especially in the Kahsmir Valley.
 
Today middle class increasingly invests in stock markets, directly or indirectly.

BJP started taxing dividend. BJP increased ltcg tax. No party said anything.

Same Kishan, reservation, old story since 1952.

India's middle class has changed. Change with them. Raise their issues.
 
Congratulations to Congress in J and K, surprised people still chose NC there.

Irrespective, this is the thing about BJP they are ok to lose this for the greater good.

I get it, vote share and all that. However, in grand scheme of things what matters is that Saini will be CM of Haryana for next 5 years, despite getting lower voter share than Congress.

As for comparing vote share basis general elections and assembly elections, it isn't advisable. People vote on different issues in both sets of elections.

Cue sanghis won all 10 LS seats in Haryana in '19 but could only win 40 seats in assembly elections held just 5 months after '19 elections.

They won each and every one of 7 LS seats in Delhi in '14, '19 & '24 LS elections but Kejriwal still had a roaring success in both '15 & '20 Delhi assembly elections.

You needed to see the drama surrounding Kejriwal leaving his Delhi CM official residence a few days back. It was nauseating to say the least.

On similar lines, sanghi CM, Sahib Singh Verma did similar sort of drama when he was unceremoniously dropped as Delhi CM in '98 on issue of sky high prices of onions at that time. He boarded a DTC bus with his hordes of supporters after exiting from CM residence.

Btw J&K had their delimitation exercise for their elections. So seat wise comparison will not make much sense.
The number 30 seats for BJP is an extrapolation for past elections.
 
99 per cent charged evm had more votes for BJP. 60-70 per cent charged evm had more votes for congress.

This is the logic of Congress.

Batteries vote bjp. QED

I think BJP should win this time after being out of power for what, 27 years?

However, just like in cricket, you can't accurately predict electoral results or else exit pollsters won't have been getting brickbats from all corners.

Delhi assembly elections are still 4 months away and that's a lot of time in Indian politics.

No one cares about the middle class. Farm laws were meant to make agri sector productive and efficient, BJP got a lesson.
A little talk on rationalization of Reservation system and BJP got another lesson.
To expect a govt. to care about the middle class is a pipe dream bhai, when we cant influence the elections.

Lesson for BJP here, never take RSS for granted. Their karyakartas can make or break an election due to sheer number. RSS apparently was not very happy with BJP during general election and result was evident back in June. Looks like all good now and Haryana result is for all to see.

Without RSS ground support BJPs election machine loses its efficiency.

RSS support at the ground is the difference between 240 and 300.
 
The 17 seats Congress lost due to rebels in their party should prove an eye opener to the Congress high command.

The seat of Kalka located on the foothills of the Himalayas was lost by 11,000 votes with the rebel candidate garnering 32,000 votes.

In Dabwali, the Congress candidate lost by 610 votes with the rebel winning 2,000 votes.

In the crucial seat of Mahendragarh the Congress lost by 2,000 votes with the rebel getting 21,000 votes.

The story is the same in Gohana, Safidon, Tigaon, Ambala Cantt, Badhra, Sohna, BahadurgarhDadri, Assandhi and Rania.

With 14 Congress rebels in the fray that works out to 16.5 per cent of the 90 assembly seats.

Why Hooda Is Responsible For Congress Defeat

Instead of harvesting the wrath against the BJP and using it to their advantage by opting for a collective form of leadership, the Congress decided once again to bestow their trust in the Hooda family who were given a free hand in the distribution of tickets. This turned out to be the biggest...

Not just Hooda, Rahul must share equal blame for not reining in Hooda.
 
The jalebis reference made by Rahul in Haryana elections are prepared by my in laws in Gohana, Haryana.

Those jalebis are so yummy, you have to eat them to know what I'm talking about. Each jalebi weighs 250 gms, with 4 of them filling a box weighing 1 KG. Actually, they are not called jalebis but jalebas due to their sheer size.

Not sure anyone here ever had them.

Modi's party set to return to power in India's richest state

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is on course to win a landslide majority in India's richest state of Maharashtra, trends show.

The BJP and its allies are leading on close to 220 out of 288 seats, comfortably placed above the halfway mark needed to form a government.

Maharashtra, which has India's financial hub of Mumbai as its capital, is one of the most politically crucial states in the country.

The BJP, however, is staring at a defeat in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand, where main opposition Congress and its allies are on course to win.

This was the first regional election in Maharashtra since the crucial parliamentary polls earlier this year, in which Modi returned for a historic third term but lost his majority, having to depend on regional allies to form a government.

Maharashtra was one of the states where the BJP suffered a setback and opposition parties won two-thirds of the parliamentary seats.

Modi's party currently runs the incumbent government in Maharashtra along with breakaway factions of two regional parties, the Shiv Sena and the National Congress Party (NCP).

Political analysts say the BJP's retention of the state will give a much-needed boost to the party, which also won regional elections in the northern state of Haryana last month.

"This result has taken us by surprise. We knew we would win but never expected such an overwhelming result," BJP spokesperson Pravin Darekar told reporters in Mumbai.

The outcome will also decide the fate of regional heavyweights, many of whom switched parties overnight in both states.

In Maharashtra, Modi led his party's campaign from the front, announcing several welfare schemes, many of which were aimed at farmers. The state is a major agricultural belt and producer of crops like onions, soybean and cotton.

The opposition also made similar promises, including waiver of farm loans and financial assistance for women and senior citizens.

Critics have pointed out that the competing poll promises would mean the new government would face a serious fiscal challenge in delivering them, or risk facing voters’ anger.

The state has undergone significant political turmoil in recent years. The BJP-led coalition stayed in power after some lawmakers from the Shiv Sena and the NCP broke away from their parties and joined the government.

Meanwhile, Jharkhand, where seven chief ministers have ruled since the state's formation in 2000, has also witnessed political upheaval in recent months after its chief minister Hemant Soren was arrested in February on corruption charges, which he denied.

After his release in June, Soren soon hit the road, trying to capitalise on sympathy votes.

While the BJP called Soren corrupt, he alleged that the the federal government was unfairly targeting a tribal chief minister.

Tribal communities make up nearly 9% of India’s population and remain one of the country’s most marginalised groups.

Like Maharashtra, Jharkhand also saw parties promising cash incentives, free power, jobs and health insurance.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modiji, in Maharashtra Mahayuti scored an epic, astonishing, unbelievable victory by securing 230+ seats
 
Pappu's legacy continues:

Congress contested on a total of 101 seats in Maharashtra but managed to win just 15 seats.
In 2019 elections, it won 44 seats. So from 44, the Congress came down to 15, given that they contested on more seats this time then the last election.

Congress contested bypolls on 33 out of 48 seats but won only 7 of them.

Congress contested on 30 seats in Jharkhand and managed to win just 16 .After 5 years, its growth remained stagnant.

Overall, the Congress party contested on a total of 164 seats but registered victory in just 38 of them. The only face-saver for the Congress is Karnataka, where it managed a 100 per cent strike rate.

There's no need to take them out. Just amending the law to make them unable to grab land and property is enough.
