Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
The going away of instant TTT (IFF it passes in RS) is a small step in the right direction. Slightly emboldens Muslim women and strikes a blow to the Nikah-Halala mafia. It will eventually lead to more steps in the same direction. IFF it does not pass RS now, the BJP would have made a point - that t...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
As the fateful hour for the above approaches in 2018, kindly expect and brace for BBC's anti-India bile to redouble and spill over from all its orifices. P.S. Make sure you have beer and popcorn on the ready. Saars, look forward to the day when India's per capita GDP exceeds that of Al Queendom. At...

Re: Social Media Thread
Don't know if anybody has seen this. Got it from my extended family here who are lamenting the loss of 'tolerance' in India.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
A citizen questions SSwaraj about her issuing commands to paki HC to issue medical visas, she blocked him. Nice maturity from EAM of the country. She is India's Angelina Joulie, adopts every paki who asks for medical visa. Every second or third tweet is about her issuing visa to a paki, disgusting....

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
I still believe strongly in Modi, but not as strong as I once did. I would never find myself supporting the CON mafia. So, TINA. That said, this judgment taints Modi unlike the good old JJ verdict that occurred early in his PM-ship. This time, the judge blames the government-appointed officials open...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
But how would that have enabled Modi to make it an election issue? When the opposition is giving you a full toss, why not take it? The whole thing would have been a non issue except for the tight race. I have no beef with Modi making it an election issue. However, this is serious enough an issue th...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
Really, you wanted BJP to act against MMS on the basis of that meeting. It is some desperate pinch hitting by Modi to save the day. I give you more credit than coming up with this excuse to blame BJP for not acting against MMS. As far as other criminal cases are concerned, Modi cannot control the p...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
Agriculture in all states is a landmine that will explode on any party that banks on economic agenda alone - by definition, only BJP fits that group. 60+% of the population generates under 20% of GDP. Income-to-household expense difference is minuscule and does not enable agricultural families to pa...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
IFF we take those numbers seriously for a moment, it means Muslims vote Congress even in a state like Gujarat where they have had positive economic and social momentum with zero riots for 15 years. I would bet that 7% shift is women. This is as far as Muslims are willing to go from THEIR core issues...

They’ve shown that they have mechanism to get feedback and are willing to go back on decisions if necessary ( like the cattle sale notification which was dropped quietly ). Any idea why it got dropped quietl...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
Modi is long overdue for a surgical strike that proves his pro-Hindutva credentials. This one does not have to be huge like building the RJB temple. It can be as little as appointing a more balanced NGT or visible action against PFI. In the last 3 years, he has left zero ambiguity in the minds of th...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
It seems people in 18-25 age group didn't vote for BJP, this statistic takes contrary view of your inference. That figures. These people don't remember Congi misrules, license quota Raj or religious riots - not even 2002. To them, Gujarat is stagnant and needs a new thought process. This is the sam...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
EC site isn't telling us what percentage of votes have been counted in each constituency. An important indicator to tell us if we should expect one or more surprise flips before the day is over.

Yesterday, Republic TV had a weekend debate on Gujarat featuring Sambit Patra. For the first 41 minutes, Patra let Doorknob beat him up with speculations that BJP will barely cross 92. At the 41st minute, Patra pounced boldly and claimed that BJP will win 130 seats. His body language completely chan...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
Election forecasting is a hazardous occupation and has felled all “experts” at one time or another. Our political models have worked rather well over the last decade, and we were the only “analyst” to get both the surprise loss of the BJP in Bihar 2015 and the surprise win in UP 2017 right. Which m...
