Indian Political Discussion

i) Set back to Yechury in the Party.
It's could be the other way.... Yechuri's line was an alliance with congress... where as karat was against it.... so the loss here means

1) Yechuri failed in consolidating party
2) Yechuri's stand on congress support would be strengthened...
3) Karat support is from kerala majorly.... Will strengthen his position with other two states are out of power....

Typical Naidu. He successfully put all the blame on BJP !!
Duh.. Let me know when a day comes where modis performance is half of what CBN did. Most of the policies that modi employed in Guj where copied from CBN in united AP

I don't know much about South Politics! Is Center Government really responsible for the issues they are raising or it's Hogwash?

@Srinivas ?

MMS, congress and BJP supported the bifurcation bill on the floor of the parliament supported bifurcation bill which clearly states that the centre will bear the states revenue deficit for 2 yrs and will accord the state with spl. Status as AP lost hyderabad which was the main revenue generator for the unified AP and they did nothing. Lets not even start avout other promises that were included in the bifurcation bill.

I am very sure that BJP will win in Karnataka and Orissa also and will be able to retain Rajasthan but with reduced numbers to give moral victory to Congress and Rahul Baba.

All of these propositions seem tough . It'd be a miracle if BJP retained Rajasthan . They will certainly improve their position in Orissa . BSY has failed to capture the imagination of the Karnataka voters . The BJP isn't seen as a viable alternative although they would definitely improve on their current status . I personally think both MP & CG will see close contests too.

I have serious doubt about Orissa. Naveen Patnaik is still going strong. Unless sacked Jay Panda joins BJP and brings in some extraordinary synergy for BJP.

I am not expecting BJP to form government in Odisha. But it's certainly going to give a tough fight to Naveen Patnaik and will add 5-7 seats in next Lok Sabha election. A year back, it was unthinkable that somebody can challenge BJD in Odisha. There is still a year to go and if the current state of policy paralysis continues, you never know what will happen in 2019!! In Bijepur by-election, BJD won, but BJP's vote tally increased by 100%.

That part seems to be a certainty, either overtly or covertly, the question is, will that be enough to propel them to victory?

The question to be asked is what's the kind of ground support Baijayant Panda brings with him . He was the BJD's chief parliamentary whip & key pointsman in Delhi. There's no doubt he's an asset if he's included in the BJP but from the little I've seen and read he's no mass leader .

Apart from Naveen patnaik, there are no mass leaders in Odisha. But Jai Panda enjoys goodwill across the board and nobody has anything against him. People will vote for BJP because it is the only viable alternative and after 19 yrs of rule, people are getting fed up. Even the great Modi wave did not work in Odisha during 2014. The only person to defeat Naveen is Naveen himself.

The fight between Yechuri & Karat is because of supporting Congress. Yechuri for, Karat against.

Your Point 3 suggests that Karat Faction is from Kerala - The only state left is ruling. How will it strengthen Yechuri Stand of supporting Congress?

BJP+RSS have a very strong cadre based system in place in Rajasthan and they have managed to create a similar booth level system in place in Orissa. Bypolls are not an indicator as the mood for full assembly and national elections is very different. the voter enthusiasm plays a big factor in the final results and there you need booth level management skills to draw voters out and vote for you.
