That is not the real story- can you tell me the most telling event of the day? (clue: it's not in politics)
MP is still neck and neck, and Rajasthan is heading towards a hung assembly. MP could also end up hung.
Ah, entertainment.
Ah, entertainment.
He should. I developed some of my anti BJP sentiment watching that baboon's show.
The upper caste backlash about the amendment to SC/ST act has cost BJP dearly.
It's a mix of caste based politics and reforms like the GST.
While caste played its part in rural areas, GST hurt urban votes.
I think we should desmantle current system for new presidential/ people dictatorship system.
We should instead get people educated so they understand the differences between the Judiciary, Executive and Legislative.
that will cost BJP even more dearly because now the lower castes will take them to the dhobi. 2019 will be very very painful for BJP.
Very good news. So much Cow politics and lynching is moving the country more backwards in the Hindi heart lands. Hinduthva fanatics were acting like a bunch of rabid animals for some time wheres the entire region is continues to be nothing more than the biggest shithole of India.
Hopefully, this will make then change course (which i doubt they will) and start focusing on things that actually matters for this country and for its future.

The agenda was always development, but development in these regions is impossible without reforms.
The only way these regions will develop is if the lowest rung farmers are taken out of the picture and given more stable factory jobs, while children are given proper education. But factories cannot be set up without major land and labour reforms. And obviously children cannot vote, so no point spending money on them.
And yeah, farmers need to get rid of their cows once they are incapable of giving birth. But those who are not involved in the beef industry do not understand that. So cow politics does play a bad part in losing votes of farmers.
I think your reading of the situation is erroneous. Unlike UP & Bihar, the Congress has always had a robust party architecture in these Hindi belt states including Gujarat where they've been out of power for nearly 2 decades , as the last state elections clearly demonstrated.
These have been clear bipolar contests, where anti incumbency seems to have played a huge part in CG & MP.
