India politics thread

Can confirm this is a common practice. There are always some voters who enter the booth and dont press the button properly and leave. The ECI officers at the end of the day count the number of votes registered and the actual number of people who enter the booth. If there is a difference, then the officer overlooking the booth can then press the voting buttons on the EVM to make up for the shortfall.
I guess no prize for guessing which button they'd press?
 
So Dear Leader now believes he isn’t biologically produced but sent here by a divine force. This rhetoric of God / Bhagwan’s avatar has been used by his low grade chancha’s but now even he’s at it himself. It’s tells you a lot of the nativity of our semi educated masses that even this sort of talk is lapped up.

And if we take the lunatic’s word, if indeed there’s any divine force sending these sort of people our way, can it please sod off and mind its own business!? It seems to need a better scouting department.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday that the country needed a “damdaar pradhan mantri” (strong PM) and that “jihadis” from across the border were supporting the INDIA bloc partners Samajwadi Party and the Congress.

“The alliance of Opposition parties wants to turn the country’s majority community into ‘second-class citizens’. The SP and Congress are indulging in vote jihad,” he claimed.


I'm scared what this increasingly unhinged man - sent by god - will do in his 3rd term.
 
i don't think they are doing well there, may just be a way to get cadre motivated. on the other hand, they were totally capable :lol:

 
God I hate the Indian right wing so much. All sorts of whataboutery just because some people are sharing the All Eyes on Rafah image.

Asking what about hindus in pakistan, what about kashmiri pandits, what about the hostages, what about other issues in India. Thousands of babies dead and if someone is doing the basic minimum to raise awareness about it, this is there response? :mad:
 
RW, especially on low cost intenet, is a cesspit. They have no logic, and ridiculous hate. There are people actually posting stuff like "I wish I was the one murdering little Muslim kids in Rafah".
They also believe that an autocratic govt won't turn on them.
 
Final guesswork prediction: NDA 340 with BJP 295.
A small chance BJP loses it's sole majority. Miniscule chance NDA loses majority, but even if that happens, they will be close enough to 272 that Modi will remain PM.

Sweep Gujarat, MP, Uttarakhand (like in 2014 and 2019). Close to zero in Kerala, TN, and Punjab.
Small gains in WB, Orissa, Assam, and also in UP despite some dissatisfaction (because no Mahagathbandhan with BSP). Small losses in Bihar, Rajasthan, and also in Haryana (where the loss is small only because it is a small state).
Double-digit losses in MH and Karnataka, and double-digit gains in Andhra (because of TDP).
It all roughly cancels out with small losses overall.

If BJP loses majority, I dont think NDA can reach anywhere close to 340 though. As per most news outlets/journalists , apart from TDP, all their allies are struggling.

Ya I guess the allies put together are getting about 40 seats (TDP winning a lot, JDU and Shinde sena struggling but winning enough through Modi)

Cow belt will be swept up again by BJP i think, resulting in 300+ for them directly. South and Maharashtra there will be losses, agreed.

Things will be even worse in 2029, i guess delimitation will be done by then (i.e feck the south) and one nation one election will also be done (i.e feck regional parties and federalism).
 
It's fun to see some Malayalam channels. They are running the Modi video on Gandhi followed by black and white videos of English media covering Gandhi's visit to all the nations. Followed by screenshot of Gandhi's assassination from various print media of that time.

There is no response to people who ideologically hate Muslims.
 
Congress boycotting the exit poll TV debates. Yeah this this certainly done. Congrats folks!
 
Forget the foregone overall results, all I want is that Kangana loses (tough but not impossible), Tejasvi Surya loses (less chance than being struck down by lightning), and Mumbai North West is UBT (quite possible).
Kanhaiya winning would be sweet but he has a 1.8 lakh deficit to make up, even assuming the alliance works.

Last time I wanted Tejasvi and Pragya to lose and see what happened :lol:

My realistic list of the ones I want to lose would be:

Surya from Bangalore
That moronic BJP lady from Hyderabad
Brij Bhishan’s son
Annamalai
Smriti Irani
Manoj Tiwari
 
Some reliable local pollsters are saying that Surya could lose by a very small margin. Would love to see that as well.

Personally don't think it'll happen though

Another small win apart from list would be if TN and Kerala continue to stay BJP free
 
Exit polls: upto 14 in TN and upto 3 in Kerala :lol:

Besides, dear leader has spoken. Now, these predictions will certainly hold, by hook or crook

It was never a contest. When you control the media, CBI, ED, EC, electoral funding, courts and as per some, Hinduism / Hindutva, then these elections are a mere formality.

I see what you are saying but it is not really true. People already showed that for the election after the emergency. Modi just has a cult like following now in the country.

In a sense, Indian politics at national level has always been like this with an exception of ~25 year period where coalition politics was the norm. People are used to voting the same leader and party over and over again, as long as some socialist scheme is giving them the bare minimum. Earlier it was Congress, now it is BJP. Only now BJP will probably finish off any remnants of democracy to ensure a flip can't happen next time around.

i saw that, chanakya. they also have 4 for BJP in punjab, where they have lost their bigger ally, and where they are being blocked from entering many villages. just very hard to believe those three states. but chanakya was most accurate last time, so...

at least for me, the cvoter one made the most sense in each state, nothing outlandish. losses and gains wherever you'd expect. they are saying NDA 350-380.


if Chanakya's TN 10 and punjab 5 happens, i will start believing EVM theories.

Yes :lol:

Guess 350-365 NDA sounds about right, all the pollsters can't be wrong i suppose... Another side note, BJD getting wiped out almost entirely is quite amazing. One by one, regional parties are getting swallowed.

Whilst that is true, you can’t ignore the impact on said cult / Cnut following of the government controlled institutions. So when the middle / lower middle class tunes into the 9 pm prime time news and instead of the media tearing into the government 24x7 for two weeks straight due to the electoral bonds scam, likely India’s biggest ever political scam, they see the media largely ignoring that but instead bashing the opposition due to some cookie and diktat thrown their way by the government combined with some Modi worship, then this cult (and cnut) following isn’t as natural as it otherwise seems.

Not to mention the enormous gap in wealth, ED cases etc which ensures this “wave” can be endlessly maintained because you control information and enforcement of law.
