Congress gets another blow ... absolutely breaking apart

And you cant blame Scindia for this move. He has been poorly treated by the seniors despite working much more than them. Just hope he doesnt end up joining BJP and starts his own party instead and maybe other young guns of Congress will join him (not Pappu and family)

The Grand Old Party being brought down because of absolute inaction and their inability to evolve with times

see the history of scindia's you will start blaming him. this is the problem there is no real congressmen all are power hungry leaders.

Say what you want, I can guarantee with 100% conviction that there is no other party that will win the 2024 Lok Sabha elections than BJP.

I can see this from miles away. And no, it's not because of "if not him then who" factor but because the majority of the voting public are fine with their choice of selection.

this might have been the case in 2014 and 2019

I reckon its not the same anymore

Only time can tell though

I agree with @asprin here. 'Modi' has become a household name now (just like Jayalalithaa in TN). BJP ain't going anywhere unless Modi is no more their PM candidate for upcoming elections.

It is not a development that people are seeing. But the ultimate vote polarization based on religion since India is a Hindu dominated country with 80% of population that of Hindus. And of course the media.

Modi Ji is not perfect but he is the best among all the PM candidates. Opposition can't win unless they have a leader of Modi Ji's level.

Jobless Bharat! No, it's Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Modi isn't the problem.

Problem is BJP wanting a Hindu oriented India and Congress wanted Muslim.

It's a regressive strategy to gain votes. Which affects the country on a whole.

I read somewhere, government don't want to makes their citizens smart, they just want to make their citizens happy enough to receive their votes. If they make their citizens smart, people will change their government in the next polls.

I agree. Don't know when the day will come when these Hindu Muslim riots will end.

 

[Targaryen]

It won't end. That is real reason why BJP is still at helm. They are ones that are igniting the fire between communities for political gains.

 

[Mijurkat]

It will end, when we'll become more aware. Peace can come only if we understand the stupidity of all ideologies and drop them. If we simply start living without any ideology, there will be peace. Words have been the cause of all riots. Ideology is the root cause of all violence. Words can be Hindu and words can be Muslim; hence words create conflict and violence in the world. It is not that people are fighting for realities – they are fighting for words. The man who has an ideology is political; all ideologies are political.

Its not as simple as Modi or no Modi

BJP is a well oiled machine with a popular and populist leader, and they are absolutely steam rolling the almost non-existent opposition at the game of politics. They set the agendas of the topics being discussed at national levels and have the media playing to their tunes. If only it wasn't for their absolute SH!T policies, I would actually be in awe of their strategies. There are so many things that have become obvious of their strategy now:

• ModiJi NEVER delivers bad news - whenever there is some bad news to be delivered, its the other union ministers who do the dirty job keeping his image sparkling clean
  
  
• When something goes wrong, they maintain complete silence of it and dont get suckered into any mud slinging match with the opposition
  
  
• Their IT cell is sheer genius (evil genius) - the moment anyone questions any leader or any move, they release their bots to start trending issues with the opposition leaders. One simple example: when China encroached our land and our leader lied about it blatantly, Congress connection to Communist Party of China was talk of the town on tv media and social media. 2 Days later it was done. No inquiry, no case filed. It was so obvious, why this was brought out in the open at this time.

An intelligent opposition could actually puncture holes in their narrative like Arvind Kejriwal did in Delhi elections, but the opposition at the national level is absolutely spineless and warring among themselves.

I hate saying this, but BJP is going to win the next 2-3 national elections. For that to not happen, Congress needs to dump the Gandhis really, which is not going to happen. So enjoy guys. Many more years of garbage policies and lies coming up

 

[Ashutosh.]

Nepotism should be stopped in politics too.

Interesting you bring up this point, considering the ridiculous hooplah being made around the nepotism debate in Bollywood currently. Politics has to be one of the worst profession plagued by nepotism, but as usual the media has geared its guns on the softer, meeker target of entertainment industry. You can remove the Gandhi clan and still you would find umpteen examples of nepotism across all political parties, not just in congress. Thackeray, Yadav, Fadnavis, etc etc. And then we have hundreds of indirect posts like our very own Jay Shah

Believe it or not, Nepotism is also widespread among lawyers and doctors who do private practice, esp fields like Dentistry etc. While the usual law and mbbs degree pass-outs will struggle to get a basic job that will help them run a family, you have kids of doctors/lawyers practicing under their parents/in-laws/etc. to get a massive leg up. In all of this though, I feel while the "nepo kids" get a quick-start in the profession, eventually talent catches up with them - eventually you will have to diagnose a patient or fight a case or carry a movie on your own, and thats where your lack of talent will betray you. Nepotism is an issue, but it balances out in the end.

What do you guys think about the whole nepotism debate going on right now ?

I really like the way you approach things. Not just here but also in other part of forum, cricket discussion to be more precise. Really appreciate that.

Nepotism is that virus that has spread across the industry. Of course there are certain people who don't deserve to be in a position where there are now. But there are also few people who genuinely deserve to be. Ex: Sachin Pilot. This has been going for so long but came to light only after SSR case.

I don't hate BJP and don't call myself a hardcore congress supporter either. But I do have a soft corner towards congress just because I don't like what BJP and their ideological game. They can do whatever freakin they want and it's cool. But if opposition do it they make a huge fuss about it. They can give provocative statements and they get full support from Media. But if opposition give a single statement that is against the govt. they come out and call them anti-national, jail them and even run a campaign against them in media and social media. There are many examples but I don't want to name everything now. I know there have been instances where congress used to do the same in the past but not to the extent of what BJP is doing now (anti-national, trolling with bots, fake info etc..)

This is what make me a bit reluctant to trust whatever they say or do. They mislead people and build a huge wall of lies to defend themselves. One person that is more sensible in BJP is Subramanian Swamy. I really admire that guy. He is truely the right person to whom BJP should listen but they don't. They want to make this country 'one nation one religion', atleast their ideology does, and without a second thought I can say that is why they are winning this elections back to back (assembly or general election).
