[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Indian Politics - News & Updates Thread

[JaDed]

Congress wins in States like Karnataka , Rajasthan and Kerala coz regional parties are duds with such bad run machinery Congress should be happy they still win.

If i remember correctly if an any state Congress comes in third it never gets back to majority in that state, read this in 2019 not sure if this is still true.

Sachin Pilot can easily become their face but these dullards would keep promoting Rahul or some old guard.

 

[MP2011]

Hung assembly being projected by almost all exit pollsters.

Interesting!

 

[Cover Drive Six]

ABP News-CVoter, Republic TV-P MARQ, Times Now-ETG, TV9 Bharatvarsh-Polstrat and Zee News-Matrize have given an advantage to Congress.

News Nation-CGS, Suvarna News-Jan Ki Baat have predicted an upper hand to the BJP in the just concluded Karnataka Assembly polls.

India TV-CNX has also predicted majority for Congress

BJP: 85
Congress: 115
JD(S): 22
Others: 2
Total seats: 224

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Todays chanakya:

(+/-) 3%
congress 42%
bjp 39 %
jds 16 %


Aaj Tak- Axis My India:

Bjp 62-80

[gani999]

Whatever the result, the one thing that is clear is that India's democracy is not in danger, as the clown prince complained sometime back.
He should issue an apology to the people of India.

 

[pillionrider]

lol BJP fans already going into depression. Stay strong

By some fluke, if it's hung, make Kumaraswamy CM and he'll side with you.

Your post can be summed up by what Bommai sir is currently feeling

BJP did many mistakes in KA. Yeddi is tallest mass leader in KA, they should have continued him as a CM candidate instead of Bommai.

BJP denied tickets to many senior sitting MLA's, all are switched to congress, clearly this hurts BJP chances in many places.

Finally, big relief for Pappuins after losing left and right everywhere.

 

[MP2011]

JDS must not be allowed to play 'kingmaker'. All they'll do is to get bought out by feku and pave way for yet another corrupt sanghi regime in Karnataka.

No need for any of that. All this is just history in motion. After a certain level, don't get too invested in it. There is absolutely no reason for you to love Modi more than you love India.

You are thinking from an urban pov. It's a mistake we can easily make.

Politics is mostly about numbers. Sachin Pilot can look good, sound good and be that untested savior of the Congress party. But at the end of the day, he has failed to produce the numbers vs Gehlot. I made a similar mistake during the Congress intra-election recently in wanting Tharoor to win and was disappointed with the result. But having followed the Karnataka elections, I can now see the mass appeal that Kharge has and how Tharoor would have been an utter failure in rallying the Congress ranks and masses.

Pilot will find appeal in cities. But pan-India, whether you or anyone else like it or accept it, the Gandhi faces are the Congress' only hope. And Congress is the only national party capable of taking down Modi's BJP.

Do you seriously think BJP leaders are fond of Modi? He brings in numbers and that's why he's tolerated and obeyed. Pilot can't right now. Neither has Rahul . But what Rahul has recently achieved with his walk is to energize the ranks. Been a while since I've seen the energy and aggression that's been on display in this state election. His election failures haven't deterred him and it seems to be rubbing off on the party workers to remain enthused. I'd also credit Jairam Ramesh as being the silent chanakya for his big role.

DK's organizational skills will be the architect of this win, if it happens. But politics is so complex, he will most likely not be CM. And all his organization wouldn't have worked without the energy infused by the Yatra. So it's really difficult to pin hopes son one person to win you an election.

The closest to this right now is Modi. But even he is to a large extent holding on to the shoulders of those who came before him and planted Hindutva in the minds of people. The entire bought Godi media also helps. Take away the groveling media. Let Modi hold a couple press conferences and then we'll see if he still looks infallible.

 

[pillionrider]

Oh man, last night's Godi media were hilarious. Watched Times and Arnab. Apart from the general gloom and lack of enthusiasm, they found new ways to spin it.

Three of the best moments were:
1. Based on previous trends of governments not returning to power, BJP shouldn't be getting more than 50 seats. Arnab actually asked DK or rather told him - Isn't it the Congress' failure that the BJP is getting more than 50 seats )

2. Modi is the reason they are getting more than 50 seats.

3. JDS needs to get out of Karnataka because they are stealing seats that could have gone to the BJP.

 

[pillionrider]

In the print Godi media the narrative that they used in Delhi is reappearing:

Educated people are voting BJP.

Illiterates are voting Congress.

Education.... BJP..... On the same line.

Eknath Shinde Keeps His Job, Moral Victory For Uddhav Thackeray: 10 Facts

New Delhi: Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde will get to keep his job despite gaining from an illegal decision by the then governor, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday, in a setback for Uddhav Thackeray over last year's Shiv Sena mutiny.

https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/sen...preme-court-4024480#pfrom=home-ndtv_topscroll

 

[MP2011]

What a joke our democracy is!

Then governor (a serial offender) on directions from feku did everything to overthrow Uddhav government last year, SC in its today's order severely indicting him as much.

However, nothing can be done since SC has taken 1 year to hear this case and Uddhav resigned already. Resigning from CM post was a big brainfade from Uddhav. Had he not resigned then, this sellout Shinde would have lost his chair today.

 

[MP2011]

This episode once again reinforces how the precious resources are being wasted on these governors who are nothing more than white elephants. They don't serve any purpose other than acting as center's agents and all they do is to create obstacles for opposition governments in states.

Major Win For Delhi Government In Supreme Court In Tussle vs Centre
The Delhi government must have control over services and the Lieutenant Governor is bound by its decision, a constitutional bench of the Supreme Court said in a unanimous verdict.

In a huge win for the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in a drawn-out tussle for power with the Centre, the Supreme Court today said the Delhi government must have control over services and that the Lieutenant Governor is bound by its decision.

The Delhi assembly is given powers to legislate to represent the will of the people, a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court said in a unanimous verdict. In a democratic form of governance, the real power of administration must rest on the elected arm of government, said the bench, adding that the central government's power in matters in which both the Centre and states can legislate "is limited to ensure that the governance is not taken over by the Central government".
Disagreeing that the Delhi government had no power over services, the judges said only Public Order, Police and Land are excluded from its jurisdiction.

"If officers stop reporting to the ministers or do not abide by their directions, the principle of collective responsibility is affected," Chief Justice DY Chandhrachud said, reading out the order.

The five-judge Constitution Bench tackled the question of who has administrative control over transfers and postings of bureaucrats in the capital.

The Lieutenant Governor, who represents the Centre in Delhi, is bound by the elected government's decision on services, the judges ruled. The Lt Governor is also bound by the aid and advice of the council of ministers, they said.

Based on the slogans they're chanting, sounds like they are Kannadiga dalits angry with the BJP's contempt for them while trying to buy them with cheap gifts including chicken.

There's a new Karan Thapar interview on youtube where the guest, an economist, says Modi is disastrous for India in all aspects. What's strange is this economist also happens to be the husband of Nirmala Sitharaman aka India's finance minister !

Is there an internal revolt brewing in BJP ? As the huband of a top Modi minister, he must definitely have confidential info that isn't available to the public.

If they feel they're gonna lose a national election, they'll amend the situation regarding constituencies and which census to follow. This will allow useless places which are great for multiplying human numbers and nothing else to get more candidates. And we know who those states vote for

[pillionrider]

Modi hit a new low for a PM with his campaign blitzkrieg in Karnataka. Talked garbage only related to religion and nothing else. Wore almost-florescent orange everywhere, so that even a distant fan of his, standing in the fringes of his mythical teeming crowds, could easily spot him

How many times did Modi visit the state, last month. 10... 20... times?

Modi thought he is like peak Dhoni.

Finisher Modi will come and win it for the BJP.

For India.

Some of the posters here sharing memes and news clips in pure hysteria after winning an election after ages is so funny to see. That too winning in a state which shifts power every 5 years. Imagine how many such funny clips BJP supporters might have who keeps winning elections after election, including 2 back to back general election.

This reminds me of, and with respect, India vs Pakistan cricket matches of last decade and a half. When Pakistan wins a rare game here and there, the hype and shor sharaba gets unreal but when India wins, its almost like business as usual bcoz of the repeat nature of the occurrence. Just compare the reactions of 2021 WT20 game against the 2022 WT20 and you will know what I am saying. That is exactly the situation of lutyens party supporters of India.

I would strongly advice them, rather than going all hysteric, sharing meaningless memes and before indulging in beef cutlets to pls summarize for us outsiders who don't undeestand Indian state politics well as to why people might have voted for congress. Was it due to lack of state level leadership from BJP or Congress offered some nice deals in the state which voters got allured to? Or was it simply a case of anti-incumbency?

The reason I am asking this and as alluded before I don't see a single reason why a matured sensible person would vote for congress in 2023 after all it had done to India for 74 years. Not a single reason...not 1...nada.

A) Congress as a party don't have any political ideology. They fight with left in Kerala and but allies elsewhere. They mock Savarkar and does partnership with Shiv sena in Maharastra. Rahul Gandhi says people only goes to temple to do eve-teasing and then turns janeyudhari brahmin next day. All political parties in India have ideology based on which they create their manifesto, congress has none.

B) They don't have any capable leader and a party run by a family. Rahul Gandhi has lost 26 elections since 2014 and yet everyone in the party trying to somehow promote him. The good leaders are either dissenting with their own party like Sachin Pilot or sitting queitly as a spectator like Shashi Tharoor.

The only idelogy congress has is to oppose BJP. Surely voters cant be that stupid to not see through it and that is why I am asking the reason(s) why people voted for congress bcoz its beyond belief for me.

Anyway, this election has been good and peaceful unlike Bengal Elections and my fellow Kannadigas can take pride on their conduct. Winning/losing elections in part of a democratic process but conduct is what that matters. And this conduct is only possible bcoz BJP is on the losing side. If it was other way around, we would be hearing about EVM tampering by now. Infact yesterday, EVMs were trending where people were saying after such exit polls if results arr different, questions must be ask on EVMs

A lesson for such people that Indian elections are always fair and square. Its not that when congress wins its all good and Beef Cutlet but when BJP wins democracy khatre me hai, EVMs are tampered, EC is rigged, voters are uneducated. By doing all these, you are only giving more amunition to enemies outside. India is proud of its democratic process and always been. Jai hind.

Indeed.

I'd have been peeved too had the Delhi state government been toppled by someone by buying out MLAs and then the kind of mayhem being unleashed during the resultant sanghi reign.

You had a Karnataka sanghi MP saying openly, development doesn't matter, talking about love jihad does. You had feku talking about everything from bajrang bali, Sonia Gandhi, etc but development.

Hats off to Kannadigas for overthrowing such an oppressive and corrupt regime. Don't have much hopes from Congress too as they always remain divided and are corrupt too but at this stage even JDS is better than sanghis.

Agreed 100%.
India's democracy may not be perfect, but it is definitely fair and has stood the test of time. Only a buffoon like you-know-who would point fingers at it.
Would that loser or his minions dare to say that Indian democracy is under threat now?

As for Karnataka, no incumbent has ever been returned to power there since the 1980s. So the result was on expected lines. There have also been governance issues with the BJP, and hence the vote against them. But trust the minions to give the credit to the bozo, and his Bharat Yatra or whatever LOL.

To be fair, even in south Bangalore, Jayanagar and other areas where old Bangaloreans stay, the BJP have won and have won seats since 2008.

As with everything else , Bangalore is just a weird city like that. I know Muslims in jayanagar who used to vote for the previous bjp mla vijaukumar(?) and dalit Christian boys who would vote for Bjp mla raghu etc.

As you rightly pointed out, IT migrant populations from either North or other parts of South tend to favour BJP heavily. 15 years back , I don't think BJP even had a presence in our city. It's surprising how it has grown .

Pakistan Zinabaad slongan raised in Karnataka after Congress's win in the state....


[MENTION=134230]gani999[/MENTION] - no wonder they are happy since morning and celebrating it with Beef Cutlets

Most of the people there seem to be shouting in favor of their winning candidate Asif Sait. Don't worry. The video has been sent for forensic analysis

Why does my eating beef cutlets upset you so much?

Did I force you to eat some?

No low is low enough for blind bhakts to stoop. They have learnt the art of lying from their master.

I doubt people in Karnataka or the rest of South India care about Pakistan too much.

If this happened, this was done to provoke you and you have taken the bait.

We South Indians do eat beef though. If you don't like it, board an Indian Railways sleeper class train back to Jharkhand where you belong.

 

[pillionrider]

The biggest voter turnout ever in history.

Best performance by any party in 4 decades.

And some of my non-beef cutlet eating brothers are outraged. Their arrogance can't accept how it's possible someone does NOT vote for Modi.

Yeah Modi. That's what the BJP and Modi turned this into. A vote for Modi contest which he lost ) 50% strike rate wherever he campaigned.

Even Rahul Gandhi, who was the 3rd most important person in this Congress campaign, did better than that with a 75% strike rate

The biggest warning to the BJP, their bhakts and their thugs is the loss of Kodagu. The region has always been Hindutva in spirit even before Hindutva took shape in Karnataka. Major, major warning signs.

I've been telling you lot for a while to be afraid, be very afraid.

The wheel has started turning.

 

[pillionrider]

To be fair, even in south Bangalore, Jayanagar and other areas where old Bangaloreans stay, the BJP have won and have won seats since 2008.

As with everything else , Bangalore is just a weird city like that. I know Muslims in jayanagar who used to vote for the previous bjp mla vijaukumar(?) and dalit Christian boys who would vote for Bjp mla raghu etc.

As you rightly pointed out, IT migrant populations from either North or other parts of South tend to favour BJP heavily. 15 years back , I don't think BJP even had a presence in our city. It's surprising how it has grown .

Don't want to turn this into a caste thing, but as you know, Jayanagar, Malleshwaram are all old Bangalorean Brahmin-dominated areas. Every time I go to the Lalbagh MTR or Veena Stores, CTR, I have to suffer the ignominy of having to listen to some old man yakking about Modi's greatness in the background

 

[MP2011]

That's how feku has made his career. Raise stink about Pakistan and his blind and illiterate bhakts will fall for it, give him their votes. That's why they are illiterate.

Hope the one who was asking me why do I call feku's voters illiterates, he must have got his answer loud and clear.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Congrats to the very sensible people of Karnataka.

They seem to have realized that this hate based fascist govt of BJP may potentially lead India to the path of self destruction.

These empty slogans of Hindu Muslim and Bajrang thingy are nothing but deception and bigotry.

I hope this sense prevails in rest of the India and all religious and non-religious communities live in peace, respect and harmony.

I also hope, the mess in Pakistan is also cleaned up, and both countries work towards regional peace and fight against poverty and injustice.

I hope this is the end of baap beta politics of Gowda duo. This duo slides towards the one who has won the most seats or the one who can offer them more moolah. There is no inclination to provide a 3rd alternative in state.

Won't be surprised one bit if some of its lawmakers tilt towards Congress now that they look to be firmly in saddle.

 

[gani999]

I've been telling you lot for a while to be afraid, be very afraid.

The wheel has started turning.

In 2018 the BJP lost state elections in Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. The 'wheel had started turning' for Congressis even then.

And then a year later the BJP swept the Lok Sabha elections with a historic majority.

The dynamics in state and Lok Sabha elections is completely different. Even Karnataka voters have been known to vote Congress in the state and BJP in the centre. So while the Congress can celebrate, their victory in Karnataka is by no means any indication of the national mood.

Lol no sensible person ever votes for congress as they do minority appeasement. That is why their election pitch this time was to give reservations to muslims. This is a vote for anti-incumbency and the state of Karnataka changes power every 5 years. 2008 - BJP won, 2013 - Congress, 2018 - BJP and now 2023 - Congress. It will have no bearing on general election next year as PM Modi is widely loved in the state.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

No low is low enough for blind bhakts to stoop. They have learnt the art of lying from their master.

Just imagine the number of low IQ andhbhakhts who are already believing in this lie that they were shouting 'Pakistan Zindabad' instead of 'Asif Sait Zindabad'. They are used to hearing the word 'Pakistan' lot more than 'Asif Sait'. Nobody can change their mind now. Their minds are obsessed with the word 'Pakistan'.

 

[Rajdeep]

Andhbhakhts are now acting like behrebhakhts also. They are saying Asif Sait zindabad. How low can andhbhakhts go?

Listen, Unless I have gone completely deaf or you are lieing or this video is doctored...they are clearly saying 'Pakistan Zindabaad'. I just watched the video 3-4 times again just to be double sure. There is no mention of Asif Sait...kya zhoot hai yaar...just like Rafael

Also, the police is clearly heard saying in Kannada which losely translates - "take the video as they are saying Pakistan Zindabaad and warning them to go home".

This is another video where Pakistan flag being waved:

Mind you nothing wrong in saying Pakistan Zindabaad as India is a democracy and everyone has right to say whatever they want. But why pretend? That is where most of the problem lies.

At 0:12 in the video , it seemed like even the policeman thought it was 'Pakistan Zindabad' that they were shouting. He shouts out an order and the crowd falls silent.

You have now started hearing things in your head. Go take some rest or have a nice meal. I would recommend a certain type of cutlet, but then you would get offended

It will have no bearing on general election next year as PM Modi is widely loved in the state.

lol Modi did his grandest roadshow in South Bengaluru, Jayanagar specifically which is the home of wannabe firebrand Tejaswai Surya. Both rode a grand chariot like thing through the saffron colored streets of Jayanagar.

Modiji's grand performance saw his candidate lose, details of which were published on the EC website. Only for a sore Surya to rush there with some fellow rowdy minster and BJP goondas to intimidate the EC into ordering a recount. After 5 recounts (which included recounting postal ballots that had been rejected by the EC earlier), by midnight, when this drama finally ended, the BJP had won the seat by 16 votes.

Margin of 16 votes.

That too from votes cast by the elderly who might not have been aware who they were voting for (ref my conspiracy theory earlier in this thread )

Modiji's capacity - a win by 16 votes )

Not sure what are you trying to say. Modi was not fighting this election but was campaigning for his party. But the anti-incumbency was huge and as Yeshwant Deshmukh's c-Voter tracker captured the dislike for Bommaiah govt was building from past 18 months. BJP tried to bring Modi at the fag end but the game was already over by then.

You are living in fools world if you believe this was a vote against Modi.

This will have no bearing in next year's general election. Didn't BJP lost Chattisgarh, Rajasthan and MP in Dec 2018 and swept those states in May 2019 general elections?

 

[pillionrider]

Also, the police is clearly heard saying in Kannada which losely translates - "take the video as they are saying Pakistan Zindabaad and warning them to go home".

Oh so now you know Kannada also?

The majority of the crowd were saying Asif Sait Zindabad. At some point the cop hears what sounds like Pakistan Zindabad. He walks up to the clown who said it and who's started squirming by then and says I know what you said I can understand what you're trying to say. Cop then adds something angrily in a very localized Kannada that I can't get, but it's obviously a sharp warning.

That's it.

If that clown still wants to provoke people and loves Pakistan so much, he is welcome to leave

I'm not a mad BJP-type bhakt to claim national victory at this point. I've been consistently saying, the wheel has started to turn. If that's making you nervous and causing you to read more between the lines, not my problem

What I continue to laugh about though, is the very low, and in some regions, disastrous impact of Modiji coming like peak Dhoni to finish the game )

Nope, its not that's it as you embarrassingly put it. In the entire video I have not listened to Asif Sait unless my ears have completely gone. The group was clearly sloganeering Pakistan Zindabad and Inqalab when policemen was heard saying " Video maari, they are chanting Pakistan Zinabaad".

Why lie man?

Unless you have done all of that and have proof, not sure why would you consider it as fake. Just by hitting the play button on the video its clearly can be seen crowd chanting Pakistan Zindabaad and police is warning them.

[MENTION=152021]Rajdeep[/MENTION] Give it a a rest buddy. The election is over. I do appreciate you though for turning up here unlike some others who are full of josh so long as the BJP is winning. I remember you were around after the Bengal loss too.

Anyway, final point on Karnataka since you seem to be unclear. My personal view in a nutshell on what happened to the BJP.

The Karnataka BJP have been experimenting with moving to a more hardcore extreme brand of Hindutva. Along the Gujarat lines. Until now, the BJP here were open in their support of temples and mathas. But, even I, who was never a Yediyurappa fan, would never accuse him of being communal. He came down hard on Islamic extremism, but it was always balanced. Some time back, a mob of Muslims taking objection to a facebook post attacked a police station and burnt down the house of the fb user. Yeddy was quick to act, had the ringleaders arrested and banished to the most hardcore jail in remote Karnataka. By then, the Bajrang Dal had started to mobilize in the city. A Godhra-style event management was underway but Yeddy quickly sent them packing and they were never seen here after that. Later, during COVID, when everyone from the BJP were targeting Muslims for Covid jihad, he was the only one who came out publicly, warning anyone against "touching" (literal translation) a Muslim in Karnataka in this regard. Yeddy also has the unique distinction of not bowing down to Modi.

So you can see where this was all headed.

Bajrang Dal.... Modi...

That's why Yeddy was removed midway through his term. The BJP wanted to try out an extreme version for a couple years before the elections, and also as part of a grander plan for breaking through South India. It wouldn't have been possible under Yeddy. The next senior Lingayat leader was Shettar. He's got a clean image and not known to be communal despite being a grassroots RSS guy. Hence, ticket denied to him.

That's it

It it is fake when you pretend to hear things to make political points.

And the fact you stand by it says it all.....
