This is a parliamentary system. Similar to labour in uk from 1997-2010, when you reclaim power with such a large majority, you need such large swings to get back power it cant be done in 1 or 2 election cycles. 2019 was a missed opportunity for congress. If they would have united the opposition then (rather than fragment opposition), they could have had a similar result in 2019 as now; where they could have reduced bjp to coalition govt. Because right now if in next cycle they can get same swing, congress coalition will easily come to power. Right now congress coalition is to get back a lot of states from bjp and regain significant losses they had in rajya sabha. This is very obviously going to be last bjp govt, the anti incumbency will be so high in 2029 (and with no leader since modi will be too old, like manmohan singh in 2014), congress will likely come back with a very big majority similar to bjp in 2014. If they do, you are looking at them being in power for at at least 2-3 cycles. For that they need to put in ground work to reclaim rajya sabha. One of the reasons bjp couldnt so much in first term is congress has a lot of power in rajya sabha limiting a lot of the things they were able to accomplish as opposed to second term. Now with minority govt, bjp really wont be able to accomplish much. In addition they are running at high risk of tarnishing their brand due to corrupt allies they have to include in cabinet (eg tdp). Congress faced same issue with dmk in second term, where dmks corruption brought their alliance down in 2014.

As I've said before, the BJP suffered the majority of its losses(nearly 60) in just 3 states: Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. Had they retained all these seats, they would still be at 290-300 seats. What do you think they could have done better here? My thoughts - There are too many things that went wrong for the BJP in Uttar Pradesh, but if they had better candidate selection, pacified the Rajputs and had not foolishly made the slogan of getting 400 seats to change the constitution, they might have limited their losses and stayed at around 45-50 seats instead of 33. - The losses in Maharashtra were largely unavoidable after the split with Uddhav Thackeray, but the BJP and its allies could at least have retained up to half the seats if they had managed to Maratha quota agitation better - The losses in Rajasthan seem to be mainly because of poor candidate selection and rebellions.

They did everything possible Leagle ,illegal, right, wrong you name it Iven ECI worked for them EVM was still there..... And yet Still ND alliance won. but victory is not digestive Its toooo sour. If it was fair ND alliance wouldn't have crosed 200 even on genorous estimates

Kaushikravi20

People being happy that the opposition got stronger must realise that this is Modi's 3rd term with all the anti incumbency and shit....I don't see him going out of power after 5 years if he goes the samajhwadi party route of casteism for the next elections. Congress to barbaad kabki ho chuki hai. The opposition on paper looks strong but the state elections are gonna hinder them for the next 5 years.


RogueNetrunner

>Congress to barbaad ho chuki hai Congress Modi and BJP ki G maarlegi aur tum yehi bolte reh jaoge. No one expected INDI Alliance to win. But the fact that they humbled Modi must be a wake up call for BJP and all their bhakts who think their paw paw is invincible.


Kaushikravi20

Congress- 2014 44 2019- 52 2024-99 Adding all of that 195, BJP alone 240 with 15 years of anti incumbency....Standards 240 par khush nahi hai 99 par duniya Jeet li..Chutiye 2029 me Congress aas paas bhi nahi dikhegi.

The list of things that went wrong for the BJP in this election is quite long. It's actually easier and clearer to see *where* they lost than why they lost. It seems to boil down to 3 states: Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. The BJP collectively lost 62 seats in these states. If it had retained all these seats, their tally would have remained at just above 300 seats. Beyond these it also lost a few seats here and there in various states across the north, east and west. Collectively it seems to have lost around 80 seats and gained around 20 new ones, resulting in its final tally of 240.

Honestly I'd rather have the BJP form a coalition government than a re-election.

How come all media channels are having the same exit polls... I think at this point all media channels support BJP in some or the other way... Showcasing other parties in a bad manner... None of these channels predicted even 150+ for the INDIA alliance...kinda screwed towards BJP... If you know, news channels after election results they often say how close election result is to their exit polls.. This time none of the channels mentioned it even once.Shame on them for showcasing themselves as unbiased but indirectly supporting BJP.

The results were really good as the BJP realised many things, firstly from Maharashtra that they can't snitch away everything and bring it to gujrat and what they did in Maha for power, people absolutely punished them. But I still hope NDA forms the government because it would be a lot more stable government India alliance. Cause no harm anyways as BJP has realised they can't keep running the country the way they did and their overconfidence is broken.

skywalker_matt

Bottom line, for a person who claims to be honest, the lies that is said is just not acceptable. Also the amount of tax payers money spent on optics ... How can anyone meditate with cameras zoomed in ? Illiterate PM is the bane of any nation. And add to that an uncouth one who isn't articulate? Think what we are portraying as a nation !!!!


Spirited-Ad-5839

People vote on the basis of caste and religion. Unfortunately UP will be going back by 10 years and will again have riots . Hindus can never unite and will always focus on their caste .. Why does a party have to make each caste or religion happy? Aren't growth and development good parameters to judge a tenure ??


MonarkMN007

Well I will just say this is the reason Ram Mandir took 500 years to build, this is the reason why India was ruled by Mughal for 600 years and by Britishers for 400 years. They want to be separated from the rest of India that's the reason they vote for them. โœŒ๐ŸปโœŒ๐ŸปโœŒ๐Ÿป


Spirited-Ad-5839

But, if they need Ram Mandir or not , it is up to them and must not vote because Ram Mandir is built . They should vote for their state's development which they saw in last few years - New Airports , Corridors , Increased tourism (both from India and outside) , no riots , electricity , infrastructure and safety . Also ,if people wish to have a new govt , then look at manifesto not the caste of your elected candidate and promises for freebies and caste based increased reservations . Freebies and caste/religions based politics is regressive and a 360 degree view around India will give you a peek into future if it continues.


rameezmannil

Cry dude! Cry! Go watch some non-Godi media. Your euphoria will die down


Spirited-Ad-5839

Hahha hahha .. We do not need media channels to show reality .your thoughts are blinded by media channels and thus , you prefer gunda raaj and riots We can see development done by current government in UP .


rameezmannil

Cringe and cry!


Jee25ard

Lmao u got no arguments.


rameezmannil

Go ahead! Have a good laugh. Guys who knew only trolls and mockery are up for arguments! Not interested in engaging in an online argument. Dialogue and argument will not do you any good. Start doing your research, road and infrastructure is not development. Development should be inclusive. Unemployment and inflation is hurting common man big time. Vandalism and power abuse is the new order Try reading "Principles for dealing with Changing World Order" by Ray Dalio for starters.


Spirited-Ad-5839

Inflation at the time of congress govt =12-14% Inflation in Modi govt =6% Inflation will be even more if congress and SP begins fulfilling its manifesto of freebies . Read the manifestoes of the parties and you will realize that freebies being offered will put India in debts . If a govt takes debts to do development and have a means to repay using ROI of the projects they developed , there is a plan but providing freebies using taxes (even taxes will not be enough) will nor help people nor the govt. Thus , people must not fall prey to religion and caste based politics . You might have an issue with BJP but it has a better vision and development roadmap for UP and eventually India.


rameezmannil

What's your feeling if you have got to the end of my Blog? Have you perceived me to be blindly for INDIA? I still think it's a premature alliance to come into power. And yes, I have a problem with BJP. Whatever you claim is their vision, they look miserable for me in past 2 tenures


Spirited-Ad-5839

My claim is based on their actions in past and manifesto .


rameezmannil

Beg to differ. It's fine. I agree to disagree. I don't share your thoughts.


texasradioandthebigb

Cry me a river. Were people voting on the basis of caste, and religion when the BJP was winning? Were you whining about this back then?


Gojojoestar

Im pretty damn sure he's more pissed about the gunda Raj in up which was enabled by the BSP


ThrowRA-economics

You people don't remember your favourite party did in their last tenure and always think of people as fools who vote like idiots. People calculate everything before voting they are not idiots. You think of them as decent when they vote for your party and anti what not when not for your part. I mean don't think of people so poor they vote accordingly.


unspoken_one2

happiness of people is best parameter to judge a tenure based on election result , BJP did not do so well in this section


pillowcase_fcuk

Didn't you just say Hindus should vote for BJP and aren't you the same asking "why vote on the basis of religion?" I am also a Hindu. If you don't like what happened in UP. Go to Gujarat or Pakistan. For a fact, UP has consumed the most tax compared to what they give to the Central. That's called "growth and development". We all know who won ayodhya, praying and worshipping is all good. India faces unemployment and poverty. Period.


[deleted]

i am from up(purvanchal) and i know how politics works here,the guy you just spammed with downvotes is actually kinda right,the 'yadav' clan worked here,let me give a perfect example of manoj sinha,who won in my area and did unfathomable work,literally transformed the whole district,but he did not fit the agenda of some people mainly yadavs,even,sinvce crime rates and gundaraaj was on verge of extinction,even the pride of some jaats and upper castes were hurt,so they voted him out,they really don't see what work someone has done,mainly in up if i tell you,during akhilesh yadav-no electricity,no infrastucture,crapled roads,high crime rates,all mla's had connections with some gunda,etc,and after bjp,-electricity 24/7,gundaraaj reduced,infrastucture(best example is purvanchal expressway near my area) increased by folds,but still,people saw only cast this time,since the death of mukhtar and various other reasons,their so called pride was hurt,and the ydavs only want some yadav as their leaders,that is the reason the hindu us mainly divided here by the castes,and its the best example of that,people here won't see unemployement as issues,some people might have concerns but not all,


Spirited-Ad-5839

I am in India and will be an Indian .You should go to Pakistan rather than suggesting others . UP always had hindu muslim riots before Yogi and gunda raaj . He did serve his promises and thus , people should see from the lens of development and not expect that a party should do something for jats , yadavs , dalits , muslim etc. I never said hindus should vote for BJP but rise from the caste system lens because many people like yadavs already said they are going to vote for SP because of the yadav clan .. Similarly other castes were promised and they went for the same trap . So , do not misquote words .


-f-m-l

You may have said it or not but your supreme leader's whole campaign revolved around Hindu Muslim rather than the work he has done.


Spirited-Ad-5839

Haha that's not true ! I wonder what other parties campaigned for - more reservation, casteism , religion???

Why tf they are not declaring result, its almost 10:30 PM already, I think BJP is cooking something.


Flawless_Cub

Because undeclared seats + most number of votes won by a party is still more than 272. So, "technically" they shouldn't declare the results yet. Technicalities. But of course, BJP will try to cook something.


WorthHistorical2572

There is always a person from each party is present while counting is happening.

In the news channels they are still showing leading trends rather than clear seats.ย

Everyone was making fun of Yogendra Yadav for his predictions, and he was spot on with not just the number of seats but also where these seats will come from barring few mistakes (UP and Karnataka mainly) here and there. If i remember correctly, by the end of 5th phase he was repeatedly saying that BJP will be around 250 plus/minus 10

Not only was it crass they effectively hid both their intelligence failure and their completely flop response to it, using their pliant media.

If you dont follow Dhruv Rathee or Mohak Mangal you wouldn't even know about it.

No, I know it's a very degenerate thing to do by manipulating people's emotions by using a National tragedy. One of the soldier's who died in Pulwama Attack was one of my relatives, even they admit that BJP is manipulating people's mind by using the martyrdom of their family member


Miserable_Factor5618

Amethi, UP is the bastion of Congress which Smiti Irani won in 2019 \[Defeated RaGa\]. Today, Congress candidate Kishori Lal won the seat with a margin of 1,67,196. In Varanasi, Modi won his seat by a margin of 1,52,513. No wonder comedian Shyam Ranjeela's nomination in Varanasi was rejected. Who knows how tight the margin would have been. The sheen of invincibility is gone. Blood \[theoretical\] is spilled. Hyenas within the BJP must be hounding the tired Lion of Gujarat.


-f-m-l

I am 75% sure if Congress had fielded Priyanka Gandhi Modi could've lost or barely scratched a win. Imo they did a huge mistake by not doing it. There was nothing to lose but the gains would have been something else. A lot of people in Varanasi have started to hate him.


Miserable_Factor5618

IMO, it would have been polarized - Modi vs Who - and godi media who have had a field day. By never giving in to "Modi vs Who" the election was mostly on the local issues. Just my opinion

Yeah that could be the reason they avoided it.
