kind of shows their value - these institutions built their reputation on years/decades and sometimes centuries of work. and these folks damage it within a few days.

What can I tell people about my degree? That I got it from the same Institution in which shouts of "Bharat teray tukde hongay, Inshaallah" were made and which has produced people like kanhaiya Kumar.

It has been a move in progress for some time now. I know because my mother was a govt. school teacher. And the proposals were under research and planning for sometime (previous two govt. onwards), and only reached a conclusion recently and so are being implemented now. That is why you think the communists are doing it. But it is something that was started sometime ago.

State schools have generally lagged. central govt schools some of them are really good - Kendriya Vidyalayas and Sainik schools are regarded as some of the best.

1) That's a tough one really, I use to think 40+ for BJP but now it's all cloudy with advantage BJP.

2) Yogi's popularity is good, though living in shadows of Modi it's hard (like Rahul Dravid in Sachin) but it's still good, much better and credible than Akhilesh and Maya.

3) On ground voters mostly Modi haters will transfer for sure but district level leadership which is most important for both MLA and MP election will not be cooperative and sabotage is already happening at most seats. It won't create huge dent as most voters look for central leadership but still will make a difference in closely fought election.

Both BSP and SP local leaders know whatever the result Modi is going to be PM and after election most probably because of poor show the alliance will break with unpleasantness. Why to concede the space for potential opponent?

For every ticket from BSP/SP for MP there are at least 3-4 candidates, all strong in normal case, one of them is awarded ticket others are adjusted as district Chief, MLA, MLC or Rajyasabha. Now with only 38 seats contested at 42 seats good number of leaders won't get to fight election, why will they help opponent? More so when they can't be adjusted in other places due to poor showing in assembly elections, So if not sabotage then non cooperation.

When it comes to ticket distribution Mayawati is most corrupt all over the world I guess. She demand hefty sum, absurd amount of money even from dedicated worker or big leader, no one is spared which alienates lot of good leaders as they can't afford it anymore. I have personally seen them going bankrupt as BSP is on losing spree from long long time. This high handedness is romantic when Maya can win but too costly now after multiple devastating losses. Similarly in SP Akhilesh has destroyed the cadre and party beyond repair the lesser I say the better.

Now comes the voting preference, for both SP and BSP core voters (Jatav and Yadav) BJP is 2nd choice and not BSP or SP, this will have effect on seats where they can't find their own party candidate. Both Yadav and Jatav were bitter enemy how much can they accommodate each other is yet to be seen, don't get fooled by by-elections. They may vote reluctantly or BJP or sit home after seeing it won't stop Modi either way. Mostly Yadav will be hesitant to press "Hathi" symbol which haunted them during Maya's rule. I have seen people going to vote for someone but when inside booth looking at symbols and names their sense of loyalty and betrayal overpowers them, happens alot in rural areas.

So you see it's very cloudy with more negatives than positive for alliance. In TV studio it may look 20+20 = 40 but reality is entirely different. I won't be surprised if alliance is routed and analysts still couldn't find the reason for it.

Now comes the Jat Votes, well BJP did a massive favour by not aligning with RLD, it would have spoiled BJP's hard work on jats and a future loss of 8-10 seats as jats would have migrated back to RLD after seeing the revival, for today's sacrifice of 1 or 2 seat they have strongly become jats 1st choice. For every seat majority jats will vote BJP more so when opponent is of BSP except on Ajit Singh's seat and probably his son Jayant, they are split there. Except these 2 seats it's almost a total vote transfer to BJP. Western UP is almost a clean sweep for BJP with only few seats are actually in contest. Eastern UP and other areas too BJP is making good strides by targeting small casts that pile up to massive numbers. Let's see how it all folds out but if I was Mulayam I will be very worried.

this time it is tough fight in West UP. ground report is that BJP is loosing Kairana, Mujjafarnagar Nagar and bagphat seat. even mathura is also very tough for BJP.

in Kairana they could win, but from kairana they give ticket to a outsider. and there are 5.5 lakhs muslims + 2 lakh dalits + 1.5 lakhs jaats==around 9 lakhs.

same as for other seats too, the vote share of BSP-SP-RLD in combine is more than 50% in western UP.

I wrote a long post but then deleted it, I used clean sweep term wrongly and I realized it then but was too lazy to edit it, it is not clean sweep but almost a sweep, with gathbandhan barely having 3-4 seats poised to win and all others are in play with most leaning heavily BJP and some are sure even in Yadav or Dalit belt. Dalit is not all BSP except jatavs, good chunk of them is anti jatav too, similarly non yadav OBC is a huge chunk, almost 1.5 times of Yadav Jatav combined and most of these dominating castes are pro BJP. Then there are other factors I listed. A simple arithmetic wont work.

India now has 2,293 political parties, 149 registered between Jan, March
"Bharosa Party", "Sabsi Badi Party", and "Rashtriya Saaf Niti Party" are some of the 2,300- odd political parties that India has on the eve of the 2019 general elections.

The Election Commission of India's latest data on political parties, registered till March 9, a day before the Lok Sabha elections were announced, reveal that the country is having a total of 2,293 political parties.

They include seven "recognised national" and 59 "recognised state" parties.

In fact, 149 political parties were registered with the poll panel between February and March on the eve of the announcement of the poll schedule.

Till February this year, the country had 2,143 political parties registered with the Commission, with 58 of them getting registered ahead of the assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telengana, Mizoram and Chhattisgarh during November-Deember last year.

Some of the recently registered 149 parties include Bahujan Azad Party from Sitamarhi in Bihar, Samoohik Ekta Party from Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh, Rashtryia Saaf Niti Party from Jaipur, Rajasthan, Sabsi Badi Party, Delhi, Bharosa Party from Telengana and New Generation People's Party from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.

These registered but unrecognised political parties do not have the privilege of contesting elections on a fixed symbol of their own.

They have to choose from a list of 'free symbols' issued by the poll panel. According to the latest EC circular, there are 84 such free symbols available currently.

To become a recognised political party either at the state or national level, a party has to secure certain minimum percentage of polled valid votes or certain number of seats in the state legislative assembly or the Lok Sabha during the last election.

Fearing misuse of the provisions for financial contributions to political parties, the Election Commission had in 2016 asked the Central Board of Direct Taxes to look into the finances of 255 registered but unrecognised political parties it had "unlisted" that year for not contesting polls in the last one decade between 2005 and 2015.

There have been fears that most of such parties are used to 'round trip' the black money into white.

The EC had found that some of the parties were "no longer in existence or functioning".

While the poll watchdog has the mandate to register a political party, the electoral laws denies it the power to deregister any party.

With its demand to get power to deregister a party being pending with the Law Ministry, the Commission had used its powers under Article 324 of the Constitution to "unlist" parties for being dormant and not contesting elections for a long time. PTI
