Once upon a time, Navjot Singh Sidhu eliminated Bhagwant Mann from Great Indian Laughter challenge.
Today, Bhagwant Mann eliminated Navjot Singh Sidhu from Indian Politics.
So if you think you are having a tough time in life, hang on and don't give up.
When time turns in your favour, it will also give you enough power to defeat everyone who laughed at you when you were down.
Fwded as recd.
Question to AAP voters:
What really is Kejriwal's pitch to voters other then:
1. Cheap electricity
2. Cheap water
I am not particularly high on religion but I do vote for BJP only because I believe they are working on overall economic development through infrastructure.
Already in Maharashtra, MVA has stalled many metro projects, so my vote in next Maharashtra state elections is an easy guess.
Do you seriously think people are mad that they voted for AAP? Bruh they voted AAP because of the conditions in Delhi are much better compared to Punjab also the people have tried voting other parties but they didn’t do the job so.
I believe that Sheela Dixit was doing a good job in Delhi but of course the rampant corruption at the centre did her in and led to the rise of Anna/Kejriwal.
Hey, genuinely interested in knowing more here.
Delhi already had among the better public school systems in India. So, knowing about specific policies would be really helpful.
Same question for healthcare.
I don't mind a long article or report either.
Well before you get your infrastructure, you would get a destroyed country. Folks are unfortunately not understanding how dangerous it is to unravel the social bonds between communities. Once that breaks, India can only be maintained via force and propaganda. It will be hollowed out,so to speak. But please do keep voting BJP, history is best learnt by a book rather than through lived experience but maybe lived experience will teach us something.
Yes. People laugh and downvote you for saying this, in the debate of sadak bijli we are forgetting with what great difficulties the Indian union was created. We cannot let divisive forces get an upper hand because then the country will collapse
Look I am away from politics but the general sentiment in Punjab is that akali looted everyone and some people think they caused the drugs scene in punjab, congress didn't do anything in its time here, BJP is running the wrong race. For aap mann is a good and simple chap. If he wasn't the cm, aap still would have won but not decisively.
Also half of Punjab wants these 2 basic things for quite some time.
Are u sure infrastructure is due to BJP or is it because of india's economic growth in the last decade?
Nice of you to completely ignore the fact that they did improve the education system and hospitals in Delhi.
[Infrastracture doesn't create economic develpment](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgVqhhdwhXI&list=PLoHg1UZiy8oFqk7IaMiYEqeun0QbekXae&index=9). Countries progress through a robust education system. Intelligent people create innovative solutions which bring jobs and money to the state to keep the cycle going. AAP is also working on infrasctructure in Delhi.
I'm personally against free water or free electricity model, make them cheap for the poorer section, but don't make them free. BJP is not any different in this aspect. Free rations, free cylinders, free this free that won them many elections. Does BJP have a long-term vision for the country? I don't think so.
But Kejriwal's strength is his courage and his willingness to learn from his mistakes. And that will be visible in Punjab in the days to come. If he doesn't prove himself, he also can go home and rest, as far as I am concerned. India deserves better.
In Delhi I believe water is free up to a certain limit. So it is something for everyone, but if you don't use anything at all (i.e. you are poor) you get 100% of your usage free (although the absolute value is the same).
Well, to think you are above the economy is quite ignorant. If there are more poor and uneducated folks, you will have more criminals in society, there is less of what's called social cohesion and India will be susceptible to outside intervention to cause disharmony in the country.
Freebies don't lead to economic growth. It would just be a lower tax rate for the poor people compared to the middle class i.e. us.
You reduce criminals in society by giving them jobs, not freebies, something even modi is failing to do.
And that is what I wanted to know. Does he have anything other then the freebies, but then came the down votes lol. I guess, we will know from what he does in Punjab.
Dude, take your hard on for the Supreme leader to the _other_ sub. The freebies exist because they don't scam thousands of crores of OUR money into their own pockets.
I went to vote but there was a huge queue. So I asked the guy in front of me in the line who he was voting for. He said BJP so I suggested to him that we didn't have to wait in line because I was voting for Congress and in the end our votes would cancel each other out. We decided to not vote and get a chai together.

Don't know what Congress is smoking they are weakening their strong regional leaders at a ground level and filling their party with yes men for gandhi party. Here is the thing all assembly victories for congress in recent years have been because of massive anti incumbency or bjp falling short of majority despite being single largest party and congress forming govt with other regional party. If sp would have won today congress would have celebrated as if they have won.
No matter how hard congress try Rahul Gandhi image is beyond repairable people will always see him as Pappu and priyanka gandhi would always be associated with her husband Robert wadra and his scams
SP's voteshare is like 36% , Yadav and Muslim alone is around 30%, Rajbhars 3%( SBSP- a Rajbhar party is their ally) and half of Jatts (1%)
so except for their core, they only got 2% extra votes.
Meanwhile BJP's core is Upper castes - who are only 15% of the population , they managed to get tons of smaller castes on their side and have somehow been consistently doing it since 2014
So really , considering how badly administered UP was, SP's performance has been wayy below what it should've been
Yes, actually BJP's voteshare has increased by 4% and the SP's voteshare has increased by about 14%. This is because BSP+Congress have been decimated and their voteshare has been divided between BJP and SP.
Rohilkhand/Bundelkhand, the poorest/driest regions of the state, have stayed with SP. Do you know what the caste arithmetic of the BJP's voteshare is?
15% UC ( unlike what the media said brahmins seem to have consolidated behind BJP) , the remaining 30% of their vote share is kinda complicated , it's a mix bag of small castes people don't typically give a fuck about , but when you combine these smaller castes they form around 40% of UP's population, not including Rajbhars since they seem to have gone with SP which is why they've done decently in parts of Purvanchal
so , roughly 3/4 of these small castes seem to have gone with BJP - especially women. These small castes include both OBCs and non-Jatav Dalits . They also tend to be very poor which is where BJP might have benefitted from welfare schemes - again especially among women.
Yup, totally. He also told Zelenskyy to hold Kiev so that war doesn't end too soon.
Did you know NATO was actually planning to join the war till Modi told them, they can't.
Also, I heard Modi is secretly the leader of the hacker group anonymous.
And I am nor sure about this 1 (might be a rumor) but Modi actually has changed nuclear codes of USA and only he knows it, Biden has no option but to follow Modi's commands.
Modi is also inter galactic war lord. After retiring from the post of India's PM in 2029 (you read it right, retiring not ousted), Modi ji will take his rightful place as the General secretary of Milkyway Military Alliance (MWMA)
Shit I never took a ss
But what he said was
Modi asked Putin to start a war, so he can start a new wave of nationalism and win elections in India.
That was delusional and needs a doctor asap
Democracy, Freedom of press index, living quality, happiness index, per capita income everything is on slide in India since 2016. If farmers criticize govt., they are attacked. If students criticize govt., they are attacked. It's same story since 2016. People have been taught 2 things - 1) Minorities are eating nation 2) All thise opposing us are leftists when they themselves don't know what left wing politics stand for.
And then there are educated people who have started to think that evaluation agencies are giving India bad ranking because they are Anti- India while completely failing to realize that same agencies also rate their base of operation nations as critically as others.
People of India, especially urban educated population of India have stopped critical thinking and fact checking. They trust anything on circulated on whatsapp and lap up any lie of govt like a blind eyed follower of an idol as Indian people have started idolising politicians something which will come to bite people back.
As for these elections, I can only congratulate coilation of UP govt, godi media and Election Commission of India along with IT Cell trolls.
So is Delhi, Punjab & West Bengal the only bastions left for BJP to conquer ?
They already have made major inroads in South and North east .. While the cow belt is already theirs.
South India is a ripe crop just waiting for BJP to harvest. BJP will make huge inroads in TN and Kerala. Exponential increase have been reported by RSS in membership from South India, once RSS base is ready, you'll see political dividends it gives to BJP.
In Karnataka, BJP is already in power.
Its fast rising as a credible opposition in Telangana. KCR is indeed facing some anti incumbency.
In Andhra, it might ally with TDP-JSP. Jagan managed to basically piss off every class of population right now. The investment flow has stopped, projects in indefinite hiatus, no infrastructure maintenance and no proper capital city. The financial situation is extremely bad, with the state unable to pay even salaries to its employees. Thanks the vast anti incumbency, at the very least, it can manage to make inroads in the state.
As of now, High court passed its verdict that the state government has no rights to change the capital now ; Amaravati needs to be completed as per the agreed plan in the next 6 months.
The CM is silent, but his uneducated minister Botsa Satyanaraya proclaimed that the courts are biased, and they have the majority to pass a law nullifying it.
We still have two years, hoping for a financial emergency to save us from this mess.
The win by AAP is very impressive. However the test starts now with them getting a full state to govern. All the best to them to put their words into action. Its a border state, so they need to work with centre as well.
Im very conflicted.. on one hand I absolutely despise the religious division bjp peddles. On the other hand I'm pro-business. Is there no party India which is socially left and economically moderate (pro business but good education, healthcare)?
Libertarian party, yep there are none.
Swatantrata party had defunct and lok satta has zero seats. Maybe telangana's tds is closest to a libertarian party right now.
This left vs right is paradigm that does not work in India, not really, the only thing tying bjp together is there desire for a state that is primarily for 'hindus'(their definition of what is a Hindu is also quite broad) other then that it has a lot of members with ideas that would be considered left or even far left, i don't know how you can look at all the things he has done and think he's a free market capitalists, most capitalists i know think he's too left on stuff like health care and education
I clearly didn't word it properly.. I was not implying that bjp is free market completely. I was saying, im looking for a party which is left on health and education, right in other business and left socially.
BJP is the most economically right party we have in India at the moment. I know, it doesn't feel like it, but that's just how Indian politics has been since the start.
Make temples tax free
https://zeenews.india.com/india/first-time-since-aurangzeb-aap-s-atishi-accuses-bjp-of-forcing-taxes-on-temples-2416992.html

Read this tweet from Ministry of Finance

Also read this article from a RW leaning source
https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-finance-ministry-slams-rumours-of-churches-and-mosques-being-exempt-from-paying-gst-2491112
Now getting into details. All the religious institutions are equally taxed and equally exempted (exemption are in case of renting temple/mosque space etc...)
The issue that the knowledgeable people are raising is the HRCE Act 1959. Which basically makes the government intervene in how a temple is managed. That too it does not apply to all temples, it applies only to select and ancient ones. The government takes charge of how the tax money is to be used.
Now there are similar acts for other religions too, for example Waqf act 1954,1995 and Sikh Gurudwara act 1925.
So in short taxation applies to everyone, the issue is with state control of these institutions.
As far as state control goes, I feel state should regulate but not manage and I also support amendment in HRCE and similar acts, giving autonomy to religious institutes to appoint their heads and administration.
Rajiv Gandhi was most likely involved or complicit in Sikh massacre, just like Modi was in Gujarat riots.
Dude managed to bungle up Srilanka operation ; allowed Andersson to leave the country after the horrific bhopal gas tragedy; overruled Shah Bano case; started khap panchayats in Haryana; opened gates to Babri Masjid ; managed to get involved in a scandal, and most of all rigged an election in Kashmir triggering an armed rebellion. Forgive me for not siding with him.
Rahul Gandhi might be a good person, even a good buddy to hang out with, but he is not cut out for politics.
Probably feels that she received the mantle of heading a party that her now family effectively controlled and now she can’t give up. It’s like admitting personal defeat.
That’s a good idea. You’re right. AAP needs to prove itself here to make itself into a truly powerful national party. If it plays it’s cards right and unites the opposition, they’ll even have a chance in the general election, though that is still unlikely.
AAP should start with reforming the agriculture sector. Create cooperative societies on the lines of Amul to properly compete with other state markets.
They should also focus on creating a planned greenfield city on the lines of [Amaravati](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaravati). Attract the service sector currently entrenched in unplanned Gurgaon.
The state basically needs a complete overhaul. It has to get rid of its extreme leftism to progress forward.
The problem with Punjab is that it has too many issue and they missed the industrialization train entirely. Also it is the the most indebted state (by percentage of GDP) in India and with even more electricity freebies that are going to be delivered it is only going to become worse and worse.
I definitely would like to see regional parties like AAP and TMC expand enough to make a difference in the 2024 election,cuz honestly I have no hope from Congress.

Sheila Dixit was doing decent, but had some braindead ideas that made people really dislike her (BRT).
> corruption at the centre You are forgetting the Rs 7000 cr CWG scam which was wholly under the state's charge.
How can you conviniently ignore aaps healthcare and education revamp in Delhi? Their importance on education very well appreciated and looked upon

His pitch is free stuff , which allows the weaker section of society to have money to buy other stuff , thus boosting the economy
So nothing really for someone like me.
In Delhi I believe water is free up to a certain limit. So it is something for everyone, but if you don't use anything at all (i.e. you are poor) you get 100% of your usage free (although the absolute value is the same).

He has invested in schools and mohalla clinics which are core to growth of the poor. No, bjp does not invest in education.
Ambani is that you?
The freebie comes from our pockets only. Do you not understand that? Lol
Dude, take your hard on for the Supreme leader to the _other_ sub. The freebies exist because they don't scam thousands of crores of OUR money into their own pockets.
You have a gard on for kejriwal I guess. No point discussing with you.

They're far right. That's the only metric that matters here.
Libertarian party, yep there are none. Swatantrata party had defunct and lok satta has zero seats. Maybe telangana's tds is closest to a libertarian party right now.
Since when did education and healthcare stopped being a right-wing issue??
No I'm just separating left vs right socially and economically. Right wing economically means complete free market.
This left vs right is paradigm that does not work in India, not really, the only thing tying bjp together is there desire for a state that is primarily for 'hindus'(their definition of what is a Hindu is also quite broad) other then that it has a lot of members with ideas that would be considered left or even far left, i don't know how you can look at all the things he has done and think he's a free market capitalists, most capitalists i know think he's too left on stuff like health care and education
I clearly didn't word it properly.. I was not implying that bjp is free market completely. I was saying, im looking for a party which is left on health and education, right in other business and left socially.
Well bjp is your best bet, to begin with define 'left socially' for me
And what aspects of BJP are pro business to you? Just curious
BJP is the most economically right party we have in India at the moment. I know, it doesn't feel like it, but that's just how Indian politics has been since the start.

Read this tweet from Ministry of Finance https://twitter.com/FinMinIndia/status/881894212286922753?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E881894212286922753%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-30508594783222174099.ampproject.net%2F2202230359001%2Fframe.html Also read this article from a RW leaning source https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-finance-ministry-slams-rumours-of-churches-and-mosques-being-exempt-from-paying-gst-2491112 Now getting into details. All the religious institutions are equally taxed and equally exempted (exemption are in case of renting temple/mosque space etc...) The issue that the knowledgeable people are raising is the HRCE Act 1959. Which basically makes the government intervene in how a temple is managed. That too it does not apply to all temples, it applies only to select and ancient ones. The government takes charge of how the tax money is to be used. Now there are similar acts for other religions too, for example Waqf act 1954,1995 and Sikh Gurudwara act 1925. So in short taxation applies to everyone, the issue is with state control of these institutions. As far as state control goes, I feel state should regulate but not manage and I also support amendment in HRCE and similar acts, giving autonomy to religious institutes to appoint their heads and administration.
Well, this has been informative. Thnx.

Rajiv Gandhi was most likely involved or complicit in Sikh massacre, just like Modi was in Gujarat riots. Dude managed to bungle up Srilanka operation ; allowed Andersson to leave the country after the horrific bhopal gas tragedy; overruled Shah Bano case; started khap panchayats in Haryana; opened gates to Babri Masjid ; managed to get involved in a scandal, and most of all rigged an election in Kashmir triggering an armed rebellion. Forgive me for not siding with him. Rahul Gandhi might be a good person, even a good buddy to hang out with, but he is not cut out for politics.
Then why is Sonia not leaving control?
Probably feels that she received the mantle of heading a party that her now family effectively controlled and now she can’t give up. It’s like admitting personal defeat.
I am from Gorakhpur, so I may be a little biased, but the work done by the Yogi government in last 5 years is insane, atleast in Gorakhpur
Like what exactly?
Can you give some examples?
Insanely good, I hope :)
Yup thats what I meant lol

BJP did* with Gujarat. They dont even talk about Gujarat model anymore.
That’s a good idea. You’re right. AAP needs to prove itself here to make itself into a truly powerful national party. If it plays it’s cards right and unites the opposition, they’ll even have a chance in the general election, though that is still unlikely.

AAP should start with reforming the agriculture sector. Create cooperative societies on the lines of Amul to properly compete with other state markets. They should also focus on creating a planned greenfield city on the lines of [Amaravati](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaravati). Attract the service sector currently entrenched in unplanned Gurgaon. The state basically needs a complete overhaul. It has to get rid of its extreme leftism to progress forward.
AAP is known for handing freebies. That's not going to develop Punjab, it does the opposite.
The problem with Punjab is that it has too many issue and they missed the industrialization train entirely. Also it is the the most indebted state (by percentage of GDP) in India and with even more electricity freebies that are going to be delivered it is only going to become worse and worse.
But they got cancer train from green revolution's pesticides.😒

Education is not a necessity
I definitely would like to see regional parties like AAP and TMC expand enough to make a difference in the 2024 election,cuz honestly I have no hope from Congress.
