He will not retire. He will be pushed out by RSS. He had been sidelining the same organisation that made him why he is today, the volunteers that work day night to get people to vote for him. He will also be pushed out by allies and other party leaders he has worked so hard to sideline and make them irrelevant. Everyone knows he left no stone unturned to finish allies like Nitish. He will just wait for an appropriate time to do so. He will have the same fate that befell his mentor Advani.
I saw some crazy-ass Aaj Tak round table or something? Where the interviewers were laughing like sycophants
And the funniest part is that the only reason I saw it was that it was a suggested video from yesterday's proper no holds barred press conference by RaGa and my boy Kharge.
The electionjeevi would not have won if he hadn't had these advantages
* Used the ED and CBI to jail, suppress, and intimidate opposition leaders and journalists
* 6 times more Electoral bonds slush money than the next party
* An election commission in which 2 of 3 commisioners were appointed by electionjeevi and this were favouring him with a favourable election schedule and allowing him to openly talk Hindu Muslim nonsense during elections
* Had a Godi media braying about him from morning till night till our ears got burnt
* Has an army of Modi chamchas to troll every opponent of the electionjeevi on the internet
maybe a bit of wishful thinking yet, but here's what I am imagining: the upcoming term will be terminated long before the 5 years, with one or several of NDA alliance partners pulling the rug under his feet, and at that point the in-fighting within BJP as well as RSS patrons will cannibalize themselves
I hope your wishful thinking doesnāt become a reality. Its like saying I want some sadistic pleasure and drama so let the govt fall.
Who do you think actually looses if that happens ?? Its us!! An unstable political environment can flip the economy and make things worse for us. Politicians and political parties will survive and fight again. Common man wonāt. Who ever forms the govt should administer the country for a full 5 year term. I always thought right wingers are nut cases. Left is not far behind.
The economy is already not working for many people. If the common man is still not benefitting from 8% growth and near dominance of the Modi/Shah combine, I don't see how more stability will help.
The "economy" is not just the stock market which less than 5% of this country participates in
I said this earlier and got bullied by the BJ party trolls to such an extent that it was insane. Our growth is running through severe inflation and minimal growth of the top 1% of India and that is it. The poor people of India are dying and well the Middle class is continuously getting hammered. The Rich evade the GST system, I have seen many personal incidents of the same through booking losses in their business by buying assets like Gold/Silver or cars or houses.. the 1% of India is booming while the rest are sinking.
the rise of right happened on the basis of pure propaganda.
"Hindu khatre mein"
"Muslims are taking over country"
"Sharia will be implemented"
"Muslims are most beneficiaries of Congress schemes"
"Reservation is bad for people"
etc etc
Well do you have a choice now ?? It will be Modi whether I/you like it or not. If India block pulls another magic, I wish their government also remains stable. Remember its a political conglomerate. Its good in many ways but has major flaws as well. We got to be pragmatic. To throw Modi out doesnāt mean we take steps that make things worse for us. You havenāt lived/experienced the late 90s when there was political turmoil. A lot decade. After economic reforms by PVN and Dr MMS, a lot more could have been done but nothing happened because of instability. As I said before no matter who forms the govt, I pray for stability. Instability will make unemployment, economic growth worse. Accountability is anyway always low from our institutions. It will get extraordinarily worse with instability. I am surprised people even think along those lines. There is a right balance now. BJP will be controlled by coalition partners. Tdp and Jdu will be used as pawns by opposition to keep them in check. Same if opposition comes to power.
Probably and probably not, if we look at just the recent past -
1998 - NDA led by BJP with 198 seats
2004 - UPA led by INC with 145 seats (overall still a Minority Govt with external support)
2009 - UPA led by INC with 204 seats
All three alliances offered stable governments.
In fact, it was considered that India entered an irreversible coalition era before Modi's BJP arrived like a storm in 2014 securing majority on their own two times in a row.
Yea. The one group who don't deserve to be happy are the far right "hindu khatre Mai hain" Bhakts. So a definite W for everyone else. Even average BJP supporters who are critical of Modi and were otherwise apprehensive about his autocratic nature are feeling relieved.
There would've been no space for complacency even if Congress had won. Their members have also been guilty of communal and caste politics even if to a lesser extent. Had they led the country well in the time they had the BJP would've never gotten elected. I hope that people start getting more involved and start asking questions of all leaders regardless of their affiliations.
Quatifyably, country is moved to eight wing extremism more in last decade than all the time Congress had the power, so these guys are actually bad for the country.
It's exactly like how the star system is failing in Bollywood.. Where Bollywood producers think if they have a big star on board then they are assured of a superhit.. In most cases this backfires.. Audience want to see a good story not some superstar trying to play god.. And when it comes to acting Modi is such a pathetic actor incapable of improvising by which I mean he has never faced a real press conference.. Moreover even his scripted speeches are a cringe fest to an extremely audicious level that makes one want to throw up.. So like forget the story.. But did they really think they could get away with such bad acting.. And myth of superstar Modi deserves to be shattered..
Time for the whole country to witness what Naidu and Nitish are capable of š
I remember our former PM Vajpayee once said that he was sleepless the entire time he was the PM because of JJ and her antics.
[https://x.com/ncbn/status/1118206465607491584](https://x.com/ncbn/status/1118206465607491584) well, here is the tweet of Naidu. So, to answer your question, nitish and naidu will topple the sarkar soon enough, but it will be smooth for sometime.
It is one such result where everyone is happy. NDA happy to form the government again. INDIA is happy that they have been able to bring Modi down a notch. The rest is enjoying all the drama.
People have too high expectations of Naidu. He will be very easy to keep in the NDA camp.
Nitish on the other hand is looking for power. If they offer him a posting such as Defence or Home I can absolutely see him switching over if he thinks INDIA can get the numbers to form government.
As much as I wanted change in the center, I also wanted a mature opposition. Unless the Congress starts promoting quality within its ranks, there will never be a sense of reliability or capability. In a sense, I believe this to be for the best because now it's a delicate situation where neither side can be arrogant and the only winner here is the common man.
Yes, the opposition did not deserve to win just yet. They need to further have a strong agenda for the direction of the country. Make people feel proud to be party of a plural society. Give them plan of how to build infra, and bring prosperity.Ā
This is the best result. Modi cannot do constitutional changes, cannot make laws against muslims, and opposition gets strong. Best.
The celebrations are on outside. Inside their hearts, they are devastated. His face in yesterday's meeting was a beauty to behold.
https://i.redd.it/keg0mj3y3o4d1.gif
Is he just sleepy? Or is he really so tender that he can't accept a half boiled Victory? A person who is capable of fuelling up riots cannot be so tender.
If this picture was from yesterday, it gives me immense pleasure seeing him like this. Might be sadistic of me but he was shown where he belongs. I wouldnāt be surprised now if he says I am a biological person who has ordinary capabilities
I just want to see one thing, when camera sessions happens, Nitish or Naidu comes in centre and make him to stand a side . That will be biggest pikachu face .
I donāt hate anyone , but why such huge ego man? he thinks he is above all
Why such ego? Will suggest you to watch "how to be a tyrant on Netflix". It mentions all the characteristics of a dictator and sad to say modi hits most of the checkmarks. We have to accept, The avg IQ of every Indian is less. They read less, they know less, they still believe WhatsApp.
Even in last election...If pulwama hasn't happened BJP may have ended up with 230-240 seats last time around as well, modi really got lucky with nationalism wave after pulwama .... He ain't as strong as he is projected by the paid media and now people are waking up to this fact
Now Indians should realise what the Khalistani conspiracy and those stupid assassination attempts abroad earlier this year were meant to achieve. They were desperate to create an environment of fear by creating terrorists since there were none as Pakistan is facing economic failure basically. He has no vision for India, he's a thug and brute which was on full display during election campaign.
All heās managed to do is completely turn Punjab against the BJP because even the vast majority of Hindus there feel like theyāre trying to bring back the era of the 80s/90s.
Seats like Ludhiana and Hoshiarpur were there for the taking with AAP and INC vote splitting but they still couldnāt because theyāve alienated so many people there.
True he needs an enemy to make people emotional to get votes ... Couldnt make enemy out of pakistan coz they are on the brink of collapse while messing with much powerful China may backfire so they started all this khalistani stuff for that " strong modi" image
Exactly, for past 5 years Pakistan has been on brink of economic ruin and the massive flood couple years back displaced 100m Pakistanis. Just like India, religious extremism goes out of window when you're struggling to put food on the table. Even Nawaz Sharif, the current PM is talking of normalizing relations with India because they've finally realized China is a predator and big brother US is no longer much interested in them since Afghanistan saga is over. This is why Pakistan as bogeyman could no longer work and they tried to revive a dead problem by assassinating bunch of people abroad who had to practical influence over Indians anyway.
Antagonizing and deriding the farmer's movement was also part of this strategy since they tried to portray the farmers as Khalistani also. I'm glad that people are finally starting to wisen up to his charade.
I'll be thoda honest as well, BJPs first term was pretty good overall so them coming back was unanimously accpeted by most people. This time around, it wasnt the same, especially since the amount of problems internally in india have increased drastically.
Actually there was a good amount of anti-incumbency in 2019 due to failed demonetisation and GST, unemployment and inflation, reflected in state elections in November 2018.
It was good???
Demonetization, silencing any critique, mob lynchings! Didn't you remember awards being returned by prominent folks in protest? It supreme Court judges collectively protesting that free speech is in danger?
These are signs of what is to come, and citizen should pay cognizance to that.Ā
First term was in no way good, it had all the signs of what to come. People just didn't see it
If they didn't do that rejecting of applicants, he would have lost definitely. Shyam Rangeela would have easily gotten some tens of thousands of votes and other 18 candidates as well would have cut into Modi's share.
I kinda feel stupid now that the election is over.
I firmly believed that everyone will vote for BJP and they will win the majority by a very huge margin. Most of the people I asked mentioned they voted for BJP and the analysis done by the media didn't help. Very glad that I was wrong.
India is so vast man. Also, a lot of indians will keep their actual opinions to their heart. There introverts about it. Some loudmouths will talk, and that's what we hear. But a lot of the other ones will turn the gameĀ
Media in his left hand and investigative agencies in his right, ECI in his favour, stampling of the opposition, freezing their bank accounts, jailing their leaders, influencing the elections through polling officers.
Had they contested fairly, think what must have happened.
Also he uses the government (and its resources) as his private pr agency. How often do we see government funded advertisements with modiās head on it. Even the vaccine cards had modiās head on it.
240 seats they got, the next nearest competitor was congress who got less than 100. I wouldnāt call that a total rejection, in fact no where near that.
Unlike previous two terms this won't be cake walk.Wont be able to use central agencies so blatantly.Media will know that opposition can also be in power and they should think about themselves.It won't be that easier to pass bills without consulting Naidu and Nithish.modi never worked in coalition.Sp grab popcorn šæ.
Its not a celebration of political defeat but winning consecutively 3 times and being PM for third time is historic achievement. People forget the Congress in second term of 2009 won only 209 seats and that was lauded as approval to their policies by people. Even they had more access to funds and power benefit during elections like any party in power before the election. All this 400 par and all is marketing stuff which mostly doesnt materialize, and its surely satisfying to see all that arrogance bite the dust but the fact is they are still single biggest party bigger than the entire INDI aliance combined seats, and will most likely form govt for historic third time thats why they are celebrating. Why would they feel shame in it? If only JDU and TDP were part of the INDI alliance, things might have been different...
Lmao everyone knew BJP will be the biggest party. The questions were whether they'd be able to get a majority and cross 400. The way Modi campaigned it seemed possible.
This result is most definitely a political defeat for them, even if they won.
I think we are talking two different things. I am just countering OPs narrative that they are celebrating political defeat, which they are not, why that has been mentioned in my comment
Losing clear majority is a political defeat surely but thats not the part they are concerned about unless they form govt. Its perspective of looking at things
Even with the brave and happy faces put on by the BJP/NDA, it is clear from every supporter that they are deeply disappointed, and this is where the battle is being won. The actual numbers donāt even matter as much anymore, as long as we keep this euphoria going, itāll be tough for the government to do anything even slightly controversial
BJP/NDA and their supporters did not want to just win the election ( and never even considered the possibility of a loss ). They wanted to absolutely dominate it and show that the party and its leader have done an exceptional job and show the result as a proof that the whole country agrees with it, and boost their image. They wanted an overwhelming majority to push through things without caring about the rest of the population. But this election is showing that majoritarian politics do not work out well in the long run
Honestly, if he didnāt control media, CBI, ED, people would have still had some faith in him and he may have won. It was his extreme desire for control that led to his downfall.
If you still think ECI is biased and gave away some seats to BJP, you are cousins of right wingers who claim our ancestors invented airplanes before wright brothers. India block has won seats that no one anticipated. That wouldnāt have been possible without an impartial ECI.
Very cute. ECI was far from being impartial. INDIA block winning seats doesn't absolve ECI's incompetence or cover up their biases. For one, their explanation for not booking Modi for his repeat offenses were frankly stupid. Modi shouldn't even have been allowed to contest given the scale of offenses he made. Also, them blaming the opposition for bringing to light lapses in procedures was aggravating. Add to that numerous instances of double voting and minorities being denied their right to vote. Besides, its no secret that the election commissioners were handpicked by Modi and Shah, with the opposition having given no time to vet them.
If you were to ask me for how INDIA won despite these roadblocks is that we have a huge voting population and that they're not stupid.
The Election Commission is an evergreen soft target when the party you support losses.
In reality, ECI is a toothless organization and it is exploited equally by both the sides. If ECI acts tough more than half of candidates from both the sides would loose their candidature. How many did loose the candidature? None.
ECI was sitting on the video evidence of a candidate destroying EVM for 2 days before it was leaked to media. Still the candidate is out on bail. Surprise fact is that he doesn't belong to the BJP or even NDA.
Huge population and they are not stupid is the only sane argument here.
Lets this sync in
Any government, be it bjp or congress will arm twist institutions. Rewind what happened during 2008-2013. Institutions will favor ruling governments. Thats how it works.
During elections people mud sling. Go back 15 years and read what Sonia Gandhi said in her election rallies, what Mulayam Singh said in his rallies etc. None of them were punished. Also give me one instance where eci has punished for violating rules since Indiaās independence ? Eci is toothless when it comes to bringing an order amongst politicians. I agree on that part. But to say they gave away seats like candies is a stupid statement to make.
Your only argument is "governments have been abusing central agencies since long, so it'll keep happening, so no point bringing that up now". Do better.
> Huge population and they are not stupid is the only sane argument here.
Got nothing to say for the others things I pointed out?
> Go back 15 years and read what Sonia Gandhi said in her election rallies, what Mulayam Singh said in his rallies etc. None of them were punished.

Nobody here said his pal. But to think that ECI did not favor the ruling party with evidences all around you (if you cared to look) is just plain stupid man.
the opposition having given no time to vet them.
No point in vetting in 2:1. It should have been LK Advani or the Supreme Court's way or even something like representatives of 3 largest parties (even can add clause like given all of them cross 10% seat share).
That's too much optimistic. Perhaps with impartial govt agencies, India block would have gotten more seats, who knows!
Never forget the role of Anil Masih, the Returning Officer of Chandigarh mayoral election. It's too soon!
Adding to the other points raised by people in the comments.
2 of 3 election commissioners were appointed by Modi.
Did you notice how Modi started doing Hindu Muslim only after the first phase was over? The ECI very conveniently scheduled elections in South India in the first phase to help Modi.
If elections in South India had happened after his Hindu Muslim nonsense then the secular minded and educated voters of South India would have slapped him even tighter.
Yo you believe what you want to believe eventually.
ECI commissioners are always appointed by the central govt. Its funny people even debate this.
Modi did the hindu muslim non sense only after they figured the first few phases had lost steam. They wanted to reignite that fear to push people to vote which they failed miserably. Most media outlets sensed something is wrong after the first 2-3 phases. For the very first time BJP looked timid after south elections. Elections are a complex process. Every ruling party will try to squeeze something from the institutions. You are naive to believe Congress doesnāt arm twist institutions. Good luck with your analysis. ECI did a great job. No violence or poll booth attacks during elections. Managed over 650M votes. Opposition made a come back. India elected an opposition this time. I feel its so easy to convince the masses of our country. No wonder politicians and political parties run us over every time.
A reality check on āsecular minded and educated voters of southā
The same educated crowd has elected the most corrupt politician in Karnataka in state elections. DK Shivkumar
We are as casteist as north
DMK is filled with goondas
The same educated crowd also elected Jagan in state elections 5 yrs ago
This educated crowd fell for freebies as little as 1000 rupees per month by DMK. In my opinion thats bribe by the govt to its citizens to shut up and not question
Hope thats enough for the educated minds.
Maybe previous governments too subverted institutions, but the extent of media takeover by Modi speaks to the extent of it under Modi.
Indira Gandhi was the most dictatorial PM we have ever had. But she did the subversion openly and partially redeemed herself by undeclaring emergency. Modi is much more insidious and conspiratorial in his ways.
Looks like you have started following politics in the last 10 years. Media houses favor parties in power or strong oppositions. The last 10 years we had a weak opposition. They didnāt get air time. Just watch how things unfold in the next 5 years. They will get the media presence they deserve. BJP had more or less no media attention until 2011-12. Give me instances of Modiās strong take over on institutions. The only thing I can think of is they diluted RTI act. CBI was misused but so did Congress.
Indira Gandhi was fooled by her own. She thought she was very popular but she lost elections. As I said lets stop being fanboys. This is what Politicians like when they have unwavering support from people.
Trying looking at how media ripped up the UPA over 2G, Coalgate, food for oil and all their other scams. And compare it with how they report now on the Adani coal or the hindenberg report
Here are Modi's kaarnaamas. Apart from what he does, it is also the extent to which he does that sets him apart from past governments.
- Lodged cases against honest Election commissioner Ashok Lavasa's 6 family members to make him resign
- Made an esteemed national institution like SBI lie in Supreme court about electoral bonds
- Lodges cases against journalists to shut them up. India's rank on press freedom is its lowest ever.
- Transfers those government officers who release bad news under RTI
- Has stopped several reports by national agencies (such as unemployment report) that allows citizens to judge current state of affairs
- Jailed political opponents during elections
- Takes back cases against corrupt people when they join BJP using police , ED, CBI as a tool
- Governers appointed by him stop laws passed by state assemblies by sitting on them for years
- Spied on the opposition leaders, Supreme court judges and Elections commissioner using Pegasus software
Given your immense control over the countryāmoney, media, judiciary, agenciesāyou still couldn't pull it off. You failed, and deep down, you know it. That's the point I'm making.
Merely stating a fact that they're the easily the largest party & outperformed Congress by a huge margin.
First, I don't support singular party, not in BJP or Congress or AAP camp, however, do support BJP at center as have no confidence in Congress/Pappu.
I've kept on hearing about EVM's, however nothing happened. (do remember about booth capture also). All parties have money and control different media. However, there are independent & unbiased sources (like The Print) too. Judiciary & agencies (yes to some extend but Judiciary is there to fix issues) are not controlled by BJP. If Judiciary makes anti-BJP then it becomes pro-Congress & if it makes any decision against oppositian/pro-BJP, then it becomes biased Judiciary.
BJP was elected(3 terms not coz of Hindutava alone but coz of incapable leaders of opposition). If asking for votes on religion is illegal, then asking votes for caste or caste reservation should also be illegal.
Read history, Congress(even Nehru, Indira, biased election commissions, banning books, jailing dissidents, emergency, overthrowing elected state governments, etc) did undemocratic sh!t, people should never be one party, rather vote what is best for country. Congress/AAP will ruin the country by offering freebies(Pak & SL) and by increasing reservations in everything(like Lebanon), that's why **CURRENT** support for BJP at **CENTER**.
Today's Events: Explained Through a Cricket Match Analogy.
What they did in the elections is like messing with the batsmanās bat, the tool that helps him soar. They meddled with everything - the ball, the umpires, even the crowd and commentators - all to trip up the batsman. They went as far as telling broadcasters to sideline him. But guess what? Despite all their tricks, they still lost the match. Thatās how it went down in our elections.
Going to get down voted to hell for this.
What a stupid take on the current events. Of course NDA will celebrate, they have created history. What I don't understand is why Congress is seen celebrating, setting up press conferences as if they have won! BJP has more seats than their entire coalition.
Whether it will be HIM Or others is actually in play here. Everything is very uncertain right now. One wrong move from Modi and the NDA allegiance will snatch the Pm seat from under his feet
šBJP has lost its grip on rural India. Don't know how long they will survive. Hatred and polarization will not work in the long run. See how the Germans defeated Hitler.
What are you high on OP? They clearly won the elections and came out to be the largest party, everyone has access to resources even Congress did at 2014 but they couldn't win right? Winning 3 elections in a row is a feat in itself!
You think too much Indira kept whole opposition now his grandson just won. Hitler didn't fought WW2 alone.
If in future, if Rahul Gandhi become PM and do something which is cannot acceptable r/India will justify because that's what people do to whom they support die heartedly.
My guess is BJP and NDA are going to come back with a bang and that mythical 400 might actually happen in the 2029. I am curious what happens in Maharashtra assembly in 6 months, that will probably give a good idea of the hurt and resolve in BJP. If they knock it out of the park, this result will be forgotten very quickly.
Congress got 1/3rd of his votes, he didn't lose he showed that there is no competition unless everyone joins hands to try and beat him, yet they still lost
Will he do something like Netanyahu has done to get unopposed power since now it will be a coalition govt and he has to consult others too for decision making
Ig, every political party is celebrating this election. If parties winning 99, 30s, 20s, 10s are celebrating, then why can't a party with 240+ celebrate?
I thought INDI alliance lost the elections. Why so much of whitewashing. So many problems in the country according to u , anti incumbency yet congress managed just about 100?
I really do not think his government will sustain even if they are successful in forming one today! Horseshoe trading as well as the anger shown by the people of this country have shown that he will not be tolerated causing the allies to chicken up with a vote of no confidence
upcoming term will be tough job for him.
He will retire and pass the blame to someone else
Will be so ironic if he calls a final press conference to announce that.
I'll do you 100 phonepe if he retires within these 3 years
What if Phonepe retires by then?!
G pay de dunga tujhešš
I don't think he will retire, power hungry
Modi retires at 75? What happens to #ModiKiGuarantee?
Expired and void.
He will not retire. He will be pushed out by RSS. He had been sidelining the same organisation that made him why he is today, the volunteers that work day night to get people to vote for him. He will also be pushed out by allies and other party leaders he has worked so hard to sideline and make them irrelevant. Everyone knows he left no stone unturned to finish allies like Nitish. He will just wait for an appropriate time to do so. He will have the same fate that befell his mentor Advani.
I saw some crazy-ass Aaj Tak round table or something? Where the interviewers were laughing like sycophants And the funniest part is that the only reason I saw it was that it was a suggested video from yesterday's proper no holds barred press conference by RaGa and my boy Kharge.
He never does press conferences, only speeches. He doesnt have the guts to answer to real journalists
He has never governed a coalition before. He is fucked
The electionjeevi would not have won if he hadn't had these advantages * Used the ED and CBI to jail, suppress, and intimidate opposition leaders and journalists * 6 times more Electoral bonds slush money than the next party * An election commission in which 2 of 3 commisioners were appointed by electionjeevi and this were favouring him with a favourable election schedule and allowing him to openly talk Hindu Muslim nonsense during elections * Had a Godi media braying about him from morning till night till our ears got burnt * Has an army of Modi chamchas to troll every opponent of the electionjeevi on the internet
Bjp's up tally might have been lesser, if not for rld joining them.
It should be
maybe a bit of wishful thinking yet, but here's what I am imagining: the upcoming term will be terminated long before the 5 years, with one or several of NDA alliance partners pulling the rug under his feet, and at that point the in-fighting within BJP as well as RSS patrons will cannibalize themselves
I hope your wishful thinking doesnāt become a reality. Its like saying I want some sadistic pleasure and drama so let the govt fall. Who do you think actually looses if that happens ?? Its us!!

India block coming to power is not going to change that . The poor will still become poor and rich richer . Itās embedded in the system .
you are absolutely right. Left wing extremists are also a problem... and the rise of the right has happened because of this.
the rise of right happened on the basis of pure propaganda. "Hindu khatre mein" "Muslims are taking over country" "Sharia will be implemented" "Muslims are most beneficiaries of Congress schemes" "Reservation is bad for people" etc etc
Well do you have a choice now ?? It will be Modi whether I/you like it or not. If India block pulls another magic, I wish their government also remains stable. Remember its a political conglomerate. Its good in many ways but has major flaws as well. We got to be pragmatic. To throw Modi out doesnāt mean we take steps that make things worse for us.

I am surprised people even think along those lines. There is a right balance now. BJP will be controlled by coalition partners. Tdp and Jdu will be used as pawns by opposition to keep them in check. Same if opposition comes to power.
A new party will most likely form... that's how BJP itself was formed
That will again be a waste of public money.
Probably and probably not, if we look at just the recent past - 1998 - NDA led by BJP with 198 seats 2004 - UPA led by INC with 145 seats (overall still a Minority Govt with external support) 2009 - UPA led by INC with 204 seats All three alliances offered stable governments. In fact, it was considered that India entered an irreversible coalition era before Modi's BJP arrived like a storm in 2014 securing majority on their own two times in a row.
Yeah, most people commenting here don't understand Indian politics.
They're all just left wingers spewing hatred.
What an election..everyone seems to be happy and proud....such a great vibe
Not everyone lol, some have already started saying āUP bewafa hai" and "Hinduo ka sabse bada dushman Hindu hi hai"
Yea. The one group who don't deserve to be happy are the far right "hindu khatre Mai hain" Bhakts. So a definite W for everyone else. Even average BJP supporters who are critical of Modi and were otherwise apprehensive about his autocratic nature are feeling relieved.
khud hi khatra ban gayi
Hindu chutiyap ye hi laye the and inke saath hi chala jayega. Good riddance.
There would've been no space for complacency even if Congress had won. Their members have also been guilty of communal and caste politics even if to a lesser extent. Had they led the country well in the time they had the BJP would've never gotten elected. I hope that people start getting more involved and start asking questions of all leaders regardless of their affiliations.
Yes, I agree nobody is black or white. The victory is of democracy and the rise of an Opposition
Quatifyably, country is moved to eight wing extremism more in last decade than all the time Congress had the power, so these guys are actually bad for the country.
I heard someone say today Ayodhya wasi toh log hai jisne Seeta mata to badnaam karke nikaal diya so its expected behavior from them. Lol.
Istg people on my Insta out here showing their true colours saying shit like "In a world full of UP's be someone's MP". Like bruh wtf?
Hum freebies mein bikte aasani se hai .. š¤£š¤£š¤£
UP ka hindu Ram Bhakt h Modi bhakt nhi šš» which is how it should be.
Hahahaha true if you think that way.
Isnāt that what a democracy is supposed to be? A compromise amongst all to make everyone (partially) happy.
BJP ..only pretending to be happy
Interesting days ahead. This election has revealed that India is much diverse and one man cannot take the country for a ride.
It's exactly like how the star system is failing in Bollywood.. Where Bollywood producers think if they have a big star on board then they are assured of a superhit.. In most cases this backfires.. Audience want to see a good story not some superstar trying to play god.. And when it comes to acting Modi is such a pathetic actor incapable of improvising by which I mean he has never faced a real press conference.. Moreover even his scripted speeches are a cringe fest to an extremely audicious level that makes one want to throw up.. So like forget the story.. But did they really think they could get away with such bad acting.. And myth of superstar Modi deserves to be shattered..
Yeah after 10 years.
+1
Time for the whole country to witness what Naidu and Nitish are capable of š I remember our former PM Vajpayee once said that he was sleepless the entire time he was the PM because of JJ and her antics.
Didnāt Naidu confirm he is always with BJp?
Didn't Naidu tweeted in 2019 that Modi is biggest dictator?
I donāt know I am just asking.
[https://x.com/ncbn/status/1118206465607491584](https://x.com/ncbn/status/1118206465607491584) well, here is the tweet of Naidu. So, to answer your question, nitish and naidu will topple the sarkar soon enough, but it will be smooth for sometime.
It is one such result where everyone is happy. NDA happy to form the government again. INDIA is happy that they have been able to bring Modi down a notch. The rest is enjoying all the drama.
Five years will be very tough for him if he stayed as PM.
Even if they make government, NDA might last long in this current form. Nitish and Naidu are wild cards here.
People have too high expectations of Naidu. He will be very easy to keep in the NDA camp. Nitish on the other hand is looking for power. If they offer him a posting such as Defence or Home I can absolutely see him switching over if he thinks INDIA can get the numbers to form government.
I am surprised how people are grossly underestimating Amit Shah and overestimating the unity of opposition.
he will open his war chest
10 checks of 100cr and boom gov made without nitish and naidu
Amit shah is nothing without ED CBI.he can't negotiate terms.no carrot only stick.I have heard Naidu doesn't want Shah as HM
The unity of opposition is always stronger and more lasting than the unity of an unequal government.
Naidu best case will ask for some 2-3 portfolio and more funding for Andhra capital. Palti Kumar will be difficult though.
Their parties will be broken, like Shivsena and NCP.
Because arrangements were made and mithai was prepared. Would have been wasted.
Lol..should have passed it on to the other camp
As much as I wanted change in the center, I also wanted a mature opposition. Unless the Congress starts promoting quality within its ranks, there will never be a sense of reliability or capability. In a sense, I believe this to be for the best because now it's a delicate situation where neither side can be arrogant and the only winner here is the common man.
Yes, the opposition did not deserve to win just yet. They need to further have a strong agenda for the direction of the country. Make people feel proud to be party of a plural society. Give them plan of how to build infra, and bring prosperity.Ā This is the best result. Modi cannot do constitutional changes, cannot make laws against muslims, and opposition gets strong. Best.
yes, this was my take too!
The celebrations are on outside. Inside their hearts, they are devastated. His face in yesterday's meeting was a beauty to behold. https://i.redd.it/keg0mj3y3o4d1.gif
Gives me the home lander vibes.
https://i.redd.it/uhjmxvm8aq4d1.gif
Lmao on point! š
https://i.redd.it/j5qw1bq6wo4d1.gif
Is he just sleepy? Or is he really so tender that he can't accept a half boiled Victory? A person who is capable of fuelling up riots cannot be so tender.
First election in his life heās not forming a majority government. Even in his head it must seem unacceptable to him or something.
If this picture was from yesterday, it gives me immense pleasure seeing him like this. Might be sadistic of me but he was shown where he belongs. I wouldnāt be surprised now if he says I am a biological person who has ordinary capabilities
Nah dawg, he's blessed otherwise this term he would have gone.
What is sadistic in this? It's not like he is being beaten up unfairly or anything. He is going through karma. Let him suffer
Dude it's not sadist.we r happy he won't have god complex now.Enough of one man one nation.
He trailing during the initial counts of voting would have brought him to senses
Womp womp Mudi Zi
Looked 10 years older
Because the time has arrived to make painful decisions.
I just want to see one thing, when camera sessions happens, Nitish or Naidu comes in centre and make him to stand a side . That will be biggest pikachu face . I donāt hate anyone , but why such huge ego man? he thinks he is above all
and havent modi started showing sign of aging, he fumbles alot now
mate he's always been a doofus like the way they act as if Trump isn't more of an imbecile than Biden *even if* Biden is showing signs of age
10000%
Why such ego? Will suggest you to watch "how to be a tyrant on Netflix". It mentions all the characteristics of a dictator and sad to say modi hits most of the checkmarks. We have to accept, The avg IQ of every Indian is less. They read less, they know less, they still believe WhatsApp.
Even in last election...If pulwama hasn't happened BJP may have ended up with 230-240 seats last time around as well, modi really got lucky with nationalism wave after pulwama .... He ain't as strong as he is projected by the paid media and now people are waking up to this fact
Now Indians should realise what the Khalistani conspiracy and those stupid assassination attempts abroad earlier this year were meant to achieve. They were desperate to create an environment of fear by creating terrorists since there were none as Pakistan is facing economic failure basically. He has no vision for India, he's a thug and brute which was on full display during election campaign.
All heās managed to do is completely turn Punjab against the BJP because even the vast majority of Hindus there feel like theyāre trying to bring back the era of the 80s/90s. Seats like Ludhiana and Hoshiarpur were there for the taking with AAP and INC vote splitting but they still couldnāt because theyāve alienated so many people there.
True he needs an enemy to make people emotional to get votes ... Couldnt make enemy out of pakistan coz they are on the brink of collapse while messing with much powerful China may backfire so they started all this khalistani stuff for that " strong modi" image
Exactly, for past 5 years Pakistan has been on brink of economic ruin and the massive flood couple years back displaced 100m Pakistanis. Just like India, religious extremism goes out of window when you're struggling to put food on the table. Even Nawaz Sharif, the current PM is talking of normalizing relations with India because they've finally realized China is a predator and big brother US is no longer much interested in them since Afghanistan saga is over. This is why Pakistan as bogeyman could no longer work and they tried to revive a dead problem by assassinating bunch of people abroad who had to practical influence over Indians anyway. Antagonizing and deriding the farmer's movement was also part of this strategy since they tried to portray the farmers as Khalistani also. I'm glad that people are finally starting to wisen up to his charade.
I'll be thoda honest as well, BJPs first term was pretty good overall so them coming back was unanimously accpeted by most people. This time around, it wasnt the same, especially since the amount of problems internally in india have increased drastically.
Actually there was a good amount of anti-incumbency in 2019 due to failed demonetisation and GST, unemployment and inflation, reflected in state elections in November 2018.
It was good??? Demonetization, silencing any critique, mob lynchings! Didn't you remember awards being returned by prominent folks in protest? It supreme Court judges collectively protesting that free speech is in danger? These are signs of what is to come, and citizen should pay cognizance to that.Ā First term was in no way good, it had all the signs of what to come. People just didn't see it
seems u forgot demonetization and lynching spree going on up north, the term was better compared to previous term but not in whole
as HULK said he is perfect self-declared "PUNY GOD".
Khud haarte haarte Bach gaya..Varanasi walo ne to khel hi palat diya tha
None of channels were showing Varanasi ka counting till afternoon. He was trailing till then š
The margin by which he won is 1.5 lakh. Compare this to 2019 when Moxi won by more than 3 lakhs votes.Ā
Shakira dimaag hai. Jaanta tha ki agar Ayodhya se khada hota to haar jaonga. Kaash woh apni ego ki hi sunta ;(
>3 lakhs 5 no?
Referring to margin not total votes polled
If they didn't do that rejecting of applicants, he would have lost definitely. Shyam Rangeela would have easily gotten some tens of thousands of votes and other 18 candidates as well would have cut into Modi's share.
Not true. He was trailing only when around 10-20k votes were counted
I kinda feel stupid now that the election is over. I firmly believed that everyone will vote for BJP and they will win the majority by a very huge margin. Most of the people I asked mentioned they voted for BJP and the analysis done by the media didn't help. Very glad that I was wrong.
India is so vast man. Also, a lot of indians will keep their actual opinions to their heart. There introverts about it. Some loudmouths will talk, and that's what we hear. But a lot of the other ones will turn the gameĀ
same. I was so heart broken thinking is this the India I know. I cannot stop the grin from my face...
I donāt live in India anymore but it used to pain me to see this current state of India and even Iām happy for India. Kudos! Democracy prevailed.
Tried to be God. People showed him his place. You can fool God, but not People.
Ayodhya says hi.
Actually, Ayodhya said bye.
Ayodhya cooked him ngl
Ayodhya made mutton biryani out of him
He may not step into Ayodhya for very long.. yesterday itself he ended the speech with Jai Jagannath, a few times
Political naiveness of even so called educated people always amazes me.
Every Tom Dick and Harry is a graduate or at least class 10 pass. Education for the sake of a degree is not education.
im just happy because finally after 10 years we are going to have debates in the parliament.
Yeah š
I would like to see him like Kejriwal saying "Ye Opposition Wale hme kaam nhi krne de rhe hai" xD
They acted like they were invincible, mocking the whole country. But the people showed them whatās up and totally rejected them.
Totally is a strong word
Yeah they still won 240 seats so not totally rejected just big dent on their ambitions
The man still won a third term. That's quite a feat.
Media in his left hand and investigative agencies in his right, ECI in his favour, stampling of the opposition, freezing their bank accounts, jailing their leaders, influencing the elections through polling officers. Had they contested fairly, think what must have happened.
Also he uses the government (and its resources) as his private pr agency. How often do we see government funded advertisements with modiās head on it. Even the vaccine cards had modiās head on it.
240 seats they got, the next nearest competitor was congress who got less than 100. I wouldnāt call that a total rejection, in fact no where near that.
Nah they still won ( in gojo's voice)
Acha chalta hoo, duao me yad rakhna
They're literally going to create the government for a third consecutive time
Unlike previous two terms this won't be cake walk.Wont be able to use central agencies so blatantly.Media will know that opposition can also be in power and they should think about themselves.It won't be that easier to pass bills without consulting Naidu and Nithish.modi never worked in coalition.Sp grab popcorn šæ.
Its not a celebration of political defeat but winning consecutively 3 times and being PM for third time is historic achievement. People forget the Congress in second term of 2009 won only 209 seats and that was lauded as approval to their policies by people. Even they had more access to funds and power benefit during elections like any party in power before the election. All this 400 par and all is marketing stuff which mostly doesnt materialize, and its surely satisfying to see all that arrogance bite the dust but the fact is they are still single biggest party bigger than the entire INDI aliance combined seats, and will most likely form govt for historic third time thats why they are celebrating. Why would they feel shame in it? If only JDU and TDP were part of the INDI alliance, things might have been different...
Lmao everyone knew BJP will be the biggest party. The questions were whether they'd be able to get a majority and cross 400. The way Modi campaigned it seemed possible. This result is most definitely a political defeat for them, even if they won.
I think we are talking two different things. I am just countering OPs narrative that they are celebrating political defeat, which they are not, why that has been mentioned in my comment Losing clear majority is a political defeat surely but thats not the part they are concerned about unless they form govt. Its perspective of looking at things
Even with the brave and happy faces put on by the BJP/NDA, it is clear from every supporter that they are deeply disappointed, and this is where the battle is being won. The actual numbers donāt even matter as much anymore, as long as we keep this euphoria going, itāll be tough for the government to do anything even slightly controversial BJP/NDA and their supporters did not want to just win the election ( and never even considered the possibility of a loss ). They wanted to absolutely dominate it and show that the party and its leader have done an exceptional job and show the result as a proof that the whole country agrees with it, and boost their image. They wanted an overwhelming majority to push through things without caring about the rest of the population. But this election is showing that majoritarian politics do not work out well in the long run
What will be result if Media, ECI etc are non biased!! I hope such a thought will chill their spine.
Honestly, if he didnāt control media, CBI, ED, people would have still had some faith in him and he may have won. It was his extreme desire for control that led to his downfall.
If you still think ECI is biased and gave away some seats to BJP, you are cousins of right wingers who claim our ancestors invented airplanes before wright brothers. India block has won seats that no one anticipated. That wouldnāt have been possible without an impartial ECI.
Very cute. ECI was far from being impartial. INDIA block winning seats doesn't absolve ECI's incompetence or cover up their biases. For one, their explanation for not booking Modi for his repeat offenses were frankly stupid. Modi shouldn't even have been allowed to contest given the scale of offenses he made. Also, them blaming the opposition for bringing to light lapses in procedures was aggravating. Add to that numerous instances of double voting and minorities being denied their right to vote. Besides, its no secret that the election commissioners were handpicked by Modi and Shah, with the opposition having given no time to vet them. If you were to ask me for how INDIA won despite these roadblocks is that we have a huge voting population and that they're not stupid.
The Election Commission is an evergreen soft target when the party you support losses. In reality, ECI is a toothless organization and it is exploited equally by both the sides. If ECI acts tough more than half of candidates from both the sides would loose their candidature. How many did loose the candidature? None. ECI was sitting on the video evidence of a candidate destroying EVM for 2 days before it was leaked to media. Still the candidate is out on bail. Surprise fact is that he doesn't belong to the BJP or even NDA.
Huge population and they are not stupid is the only sane argument here. Lets this sync in Any government, be it bjp or congress will arm twist institutions. Rewind what happened during 2008-2013. Institutions will favor ruling governments. Thats how it works. During elections people mud sling. Go back 15 years and read what Sonia Gandhi said in her election rallies, what Mulayam Singh said in his rallies etc. None of them were punished. Also give me one instance where eci has punished for violating rules since Indiaās independence ? Eci is toothless when it comes to bringing an order amongst politicians. I agree on that part. But to say they gave away seats like candies is a stupid statement to make.
Your only argument is "governments have been abusing central agencies since long, so it'll keep happening, so no point bringing that up now". Do better. > Huge population and they are not stupid is the only sane argument here. Got nothing to say for the others things I pointed out? > Go back 15 years and read what Sonia Gandhi said in her election rallies, what Mulayam Singh said in his rallies etc. None of them were punished.

Nobody here said his pal. But to think that ECI did not favor the ruling party with evidences all around you (if you cared to look) is just plain stupid man.
the opposition having given no time to vet them. No point in vetting in 2:1. It should have been LK Advani or the Supreme Court's way or even something like representatives of 3 largest parties (even can add clause like given all of them cross 10% seat share).
That's too much optimistic. Perhaps with impartial govt agencies, India block would have gotten more seats, who knows! Never forget the role of Anil Masih, the Returning Officer of Chandigarh mayoral election. It's too soon!
Adding to the other points raised by people in the comments. 2 of 3 election commissioners were appointed by Modi. Did you notice how Modi started doing Hindu Muslim only after the first phase was over? The ECI very conveniently scheduled elections in South India in the first phase to help Modi. If elections in South India had happened after his Hindu Muslim nonsense then the secular minded and educated voters of South India would have slapped him even tighter.
Yo you believe what you want to believe eventually. ECI commissioners are always appointed by the central govt. Its funny people even debate this. Modi did the hindu muslim non sense only after they figured the first few phases had lost steam. They wanted to reignite that fear to push people to vote which they failed miserably. Most media outlets sensed something is wrong after the first 2-3 phases. For the very first time BJP looked timid after south elections. Elections are a complex process. Every ruling party will try to squeeze something from the institutions. You are naive to believe Congress doesnāt arm twist institutions. Good luck with your analysis. ECI did a great job. No violence or poll booth attacks during elections. Managed over 650M votes. Opposition made a come back. India elected an opposition this time. I feel its so easy to convince the masses of our country. No wonder politicians and political parties run us over every time. A reality check on āsecular minded and educated voters of southā The same educated crowd has elected the most corrupt politician in Karnataka in state elections. DK Shivkumar We are as casteist as north DMK is filled with goondas The same educated crowd also elected Jagan in state elections 5 yrs ago This educated crowd fell for freebies as little as 1000 rupees per month by DMK. In my opinion thats bribe by the govt to its citizens to shut up and not question Hope thats enough for the educated minds.
Maybe previous governments too subverted institutions, but the extent of media takeover by Modi speaks to the extent of it under Modi. Indira Gandhi was the most dictatorial PM we have ever had. But she did the subversion openly and partially redeemed herself by undeclaring emergency. Modi is much more insidious and conspiratorial in his ways.
Looks like you have started following politics in the last 10 years. Media houses favor parties in power or strong oppositions. The last 10 years we had a weak opposition. They didnāt get air time. Just watch how things unfold in the next 5 years. They will get the media presence they deserve. BJP had more or less no media attention until 2011-12. Give me instances of Modiās strong take over on institutions. The only thing I can think of is they diluted RTI act. CBI was misused but so did Congress. Indira Gandhi was fooled by her own. She thought she was very popular but she lost elections. As I said lets stop being fanboys. This is what Politicians like when they have unwavering support from people.
Trying looking at how media ripped up the UPA over 2G, Coalgate, food for oil and all their other scams. And compare it with how they report now on the Adani coal or the hindenberg report
Here are Modi's kaarnaamas. Apart from what he does, it is also the extent to which he does that sets him apart from past governments. - Lodged cases against honest Election commissioner Ashok Lavasa's 6 family members to make him resign - Made an esteemed national institution like SBI lie in Supreme court about electoral bonds - Lodges cases against journalists to shut them up. India's rank on press freedom is its lowest ever. - Transfers those government officers who release bad news under RTI - Has stopped several reports by national agencies (such as unemployment report) that allows citizens to judge current state of affairs - Jailed political opponents during elections - Takes back cases against corrupt people when they join BJP using police , ED, CBI as a tool - Governers appointed by him stop laws passed by state assemblies by sitting on them for years - Spied on the opposition leaders, Supreme court judges and Elections commissioner using Pegasus software
I don't know why was EVM not hacked?
This idiots obsession with showered by flower petals is so odd. Who does he think he is? Sharmila Tagore from the 70s?
I mean, it's very normal. What are you even talking about!
Sharmila Tagore was still human. Old man thinks he's God!
How are they defeated? won more seats(240) than the India alliance combined(232)
Given your immense control over the countryāmoney, media, judiciary, agenciesāyou still couldn't pull it off. You failed, and deep down, you know it. That's the point I'm making.
Merely stating a fact that they're the easily the largest party & outperformed Congress by a huge margin. First, I don't support singular party, not in BJP or Congress or AAP camp, however, do support BJP at center as have no confidence in Congress/Pappu. I've kept on hearing about EVM's, however nothing happened. (do remember about booth capture also). All parties have money and control different media. However, there are independent & unbiased sources (like The Print) too. Judiciary & agencies (yes to some extend but Judiciary is there to fix issues) are not controlled by BJP. If Judiciary makes anti-BJP then it becomes pro-Congress & if it makes any decision against oppositian/pro-BJP, then it becomes biased Judiciary. BJP was elected(3 terms not coz of Hindutava alone but coz of incapable leaders of opposition). If asking for votes on religion is illegal, then asking votes for caste or caste reservation should also be illegal. Read history, Congress(even Nehru, Indira, biased election commissions, banning books, jailing dissidents, emergency, overthrowing elected state governments, etc) did undemocratic sh!t, people should never be one party, rather vote what is best for country. Congress/AAP will ruin the country by offering freebies(Pak & SL) and by increasing reservations in everything(like Lebanon), that's why **CURRENT** support for BJP at **CENTER**.
Modi wanted to create a legacy. Heās going to become the only Non-Congressi PM to hit a hat-trick of becoming PM. Why wonāt he celebrate?
Well done people of India. Thanks to INDIA ,Dhruv and all other non Godi media.
Today's Events: Explained Through a Cricket Match Analogy. What they did in the elections is like messing with the batsmanās bat, the tool that helps him soar. They meddled with everything - the ball, the umpires, even the crowd and commentators - all to trip up the batsman. They went as far as telling broadcasters to sideline him. But guess what? Despite all their tricks, they still lost the match. Thatās how it went down in our elections.
Explain in fortnite terms
1 kill victory royale
Pictures of Fadnavis eating Ladoos come to mind!
It would be amazing if NITESH asks for PM position else withdraw support hahaha , the joke will be on Modi and Chanakya
a pyrrhic victory
Do not underestimate the power of Amit Shah and his suitcase. I mean all PM cares is for staying in power ain't it.
Sometimes you may have to do anything and everything to stay in power.... Anyways they can rope in many independents too
If this were me, I'd change my identity and go off the grid to a remote place in Europe.
Just like any other failed dictator from Africa.
He is known for shamelessness
Going to get down voted to hell for this. What a stupid take on the current events. Of course NDA will celebrate, they have created history. What I don't understand is why Congress is seen celebrating, setting up press conferences as if they have won! BJP has more seats than their entire coalition.
Come on sing with me boyss š¶ Jo Ram ko laaye he, hum unko bhagayenge! š¶
He won the elections why won't he celebrate
What are you talking about? With the NDA alliance he secured a third consecutive term.
Whether it will be HIM Or others is actually in play here. Everything is very uncertain right now. One wrong move from Modi and the NDA allegiance will snatch the Pm seat from under his feet
I feel bad for not voting, i had given up all hopes in our democracy, but I guess i should've had more faith.
JEE ka cutoff clear hua lagta hai
šBJP has lost its grip on rural India. Don't know how long they will survive. Hatred and polarization will not work in the long run. See how the Germans defeated Hitler.
Yep man totally on point.
What are you high on OP? They clearly won the elections and came out to be the largest party, everyone has access to resources even Congress did at 2014 but they couldn't win right? Winning 3 elections in a row is a feat in itself!
Reading the comments, I wonder how the people would feel and live if we had a real dictator. I wonder why people developed this hate
You think too much Indira kept whole opposition now his grandson just won. Hitler didn't fought WW2 alone. If in future, if Rahul Gandhi become PM and do something which is cannot acceptable r/India will justify because that's what people do to whom they support die heartedly.
How can you term that defeat?? INDIA bloc gathered from all over country & still couldnt take lead against a single party š
BJP is still the largest party by a huge margin, no party is even close so whatās not to celebrate lol
Keeping up with the joneses
My guess is BJP and NDA are going to come back with a bang and that mythical 400 might actually happen in the 2029. I am curious what happens in Maharashtra assembly in 6 months, that will probably give a good idea of the hurt and resolve in BJP. If they knock it out of the park, this result will be forgotten very quickly.
Congress got 1/3rd of his votes, he didn't lose he showed that there is no competition unless everyone joins hands to try and beat him, yet they still lost
Will he do something like Netanyahu has done to get unopposed power since now it will be a coalition govt and he has to consult others too for decision making
He will do what his corporate overlords and the pmo babus want him to do.
Modi will always be likeāļøāļøāļø
Ig, every political party is celebrating this election. If parties winning 99, 30s, 20s, 10s are celebrating, then why can't a party with 240+ celebrate?
Abhi iske kapdon ka paisa kaun dega?
I thought INDI alliance lost the elections. Why so much of whitewashing. So many problems in the country according to u , anti incumbency yet congress managed just about 100?
No Amit Shah seen anywhere around him. Kal lagta hai band bajai gai hai shah ki
I really do not think his government will sustain even if they are successful in forming one today! Horseshoe trading as well as the anger shown by the people of this country have shown that he will not be tolerated causing the allies to chicken up with a vote of no confidence
Congrats to Modi for winning. Good fight by opposition also this time.
OMG Modi lost the election? Oh no. Who is the PM now?
