In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Just came back from the polling booth, took a total of 10 mins to vote.
That is a shocking turnout.
All exit polls predicting an AAP win. fecking brilliant.
This site constantly peddles BJPs nonesense agenda. A website version of Sudhir Chaudhary if you will.
Much needed win. My real concern is Congress' showing. 0 wins (as per most exit polls) is shocking. Clearly the Rahul/Sonia as the face is not working.
If only AAP (Delhi) like parties existed everywhere.
67.08% turnout. Hardly shocking.
I would still wait till Monday. Few AAP guys putting up videos about EVMs and stuff.
the only concern is that exit polls were taken at 5pm and there was heavy voting after that. but the voteshare in the polls was about 50% for aap and it will be tough for bjp to make up a 10+% margin even if later votes favour them.
Manoj Tiwari sounded confident, also ominously warning about complaints against EVMs
That’s what. He knew about the election dates before they were announced, was aware of the shooter before the cops announced and now has confidently proclaimed 48 seats.Manoj Tiwari sounded confident, also ominously warning about complaints against EVMs
Maybe it's good for Delhi that their new CM is an actual prophet
Late surge in voting is actually spooky. Unless there's a genuine reason for it?
AAP was always going to win. Also stop with EVM conspiracy BS. BJP would not have lost states like MP, Rajasthan and performed poorly in some others in state elections if they could fix EVMs. I talked to several working class folks in Delhi over past 2 weeks and Kejriwal's freebies are a massive hit with them. Most of them by the way don't care zilch about CAA and are decidedly against the Shaheen Bagh protest but want AAP to continue because of the benefits that are helping with their daily or monthly expenses.
It was pretty low before evening. Maybe a good increase after that. Good to know that.
What new theory is this ? Its not like magically all the bjp voters coordinated amongst themselves that they'll sleep throughout the day and run for the polling booth moments before the deadline.
More or less the general percentage of voters voting for different parties would be quite similar regardless of the time of the day they vote. If anything the poor labour class who dont usually get leave would be the last ones to enter the polling booth and from what i've seen most of them would be voting for aap.
Development, the AAP's main poll plank, topped the list of issues for 37 per cent of the respondents followed by price rise (17 per cent) and unemployment (14 per cent).
The issues that the BJP sought to raise didn't resonate much with the Delhi voters as the data showed only one per cent supporting the CAA and the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir's special status.
The BJP's national-security plank found favour with six per cent of the respondents.

no, not a new theory, im saying even in worst case aap should be safe.
My Indian friends,
I saw this on Facebook and don't know what any of the text means but must have been a lively debate!

it's one person (top row, 3rd from left) who's doing most of the talking and shouting and pointing and demanding answers.
My Indian friends,
I saw this on Facebook and don't know what any of the text means but must have been a lively debate!
Its like fox news, daily mail and all other scummy news outlets rolled into one.
Just imagine every single one of them shouting over each otherMy Indian friends,
I saw this on Facebook and don't know what any of the text means but must have been a lively debate!
that would be typical for the 3rd top from left.Therefore, the existence of the sedition laws.
You are conflating an issue being decisive being one for the polls with approval for the same. Overwhelming majority in Delhi favoured the Kashmir decision and as per opinion polls most seem to be in favor of CAA as well. Both the issues are not relevant for state elections though and electorate seems smart enough to not mix national issues with state ones.
imagine your ideology is the ruling ideology and the popular ideology, you are close to the PM, and crying this much about losing one state which anyway agrees with you
Did he just rant on national tv insinuating that people of delhi are anti-nationals ?
Son Locks Up Father At Home To Prevent Him From Voting For BJP During Delhi Elections
In Delhi’s Munirka area, a man locked up his father in the house to prevent him from going to the polling booth and voting for BJP.
The man in his 20s, locked up his father in a room while the polling was on on February 8, to prevent him from casting his vote. He was certain that his father would vote for BJP.
He said he was inspired from his friend who lives in Delhi’s Palam area, who pulled off the same stunt with his parents.

In India, Radicalisation Is Being Flaunted as a Badge of Honour
The radicalisation of the majority community has seeped into society and organs of the state and is being seen as essential to protect the motherland from the "traitors".

"It is a process, as and when it is finalised, it is shared with you," said Chief Electoral Officer Ranbir Singh. The data, he said, had to be collated through the night and the Returning Officers were busy.
Ha ha. The Returning officers were busy all night? Who controls the returning officers, EC or the PMO?

The principal with the classic "I am waiting for someone to report the incident to me"
Surely this must have to do with a revision in the definition of poverty? How can poverty actually increase?!
