I had read that BJP's original plan was to straight up split BJD with the help of Panda, but closer to election time than this. So yea, it remains to be seen which other leaders BJP is able to rope in; but even though Panda by himself isn't a conventional mass leader, he brings an absolutely massive asset with him - Odisha TV (as well as any inside info he may have about Patnaik and BJD since he was a high up in the party and a close family friend of Patnaik).

The state units of the CPM in WB & Tripura would press for a tie up with like minded parties . However , given the dismal performance of the Congress in Tripura and lack of support except in a handful of pockets in WB , it seems a far off proposition .
Shok mana raha hogaapne chahne walon ke sath !!
How do brown sahibs mourn? If one makes an error in English during an emotional monologue, is it considered impolite to correct them?
AAP is now a ticket sellers party like BSP. Khujli has created a big money spinning market for himself and his sussu buddy. They are making a killing by contesting in every election and selling tickets at a price.Big Victory for AAP in Tripura!
BJP lost in Rajasthan bypolls due to rift with RSS and Vasundhara. Vasundhara is nothing without RSS. So, if RSS campaigns, Rajasthan is going to BJP full swing.
Even in Odisha, the way the municipal elections were won and severe campaign is being done by BJP, it is likely to go BJP way.

lol. Is that why Modi became CM for 4 consecutive time while CBN lost to YSR ? Does CBN still own "Heritage Foods" ?
BJP had nothing to lose and everything to gain in the bifurcation, so there is no logical reason they should have opposed it.
Since CONgress did the bifurcation and made the promises, better go and ask the CONgress for money. Or Maybe he can ask the ARabs.
The kind of people who'd sermonise on corruption here but would run to to the closest fixer to the ruling party for any favour needed . Benefits of entitlement. Benefits of a Congress legacy.
To stake claim, a party has to submit a letter to the governor. If another party submits letter to governor stating that they have obtained consent of the required number of MLAs by means of post poll alliance, then governor will have to consider it too. Governor has discretion in allowing a party to form govt first and prove majority later or prove majority first and form govt later. If a party states that it is capable of getting majority, then governor generally gives that party the first opportunity to prove the majority, even if it is not single largest party.
If NPP makes alliance capable of having 30 seats (out of 59 as 1 seat election was postponed), then governor will ask NPP to form govt

Congress CM had fought from two seats and won both of them. so technically congress is down with one seat as an MLA can hold only one seat. He will have to give up one seat.
Yes, which is why the first time he got 22 seats and the next time....67....because Delhi went into grief and is crying loudly
Dire straits for Congress once BJP cobbles together a majority in Meghalaya and (almost certainly) routs them in Mizoram. At that point they will have Punjab and Karnataka. While BJP may or may not get a majority by itself in Karnataka, they have a very good chance of forming the Government in alliance with the JDS.
Once BJP takes Karnataka out of Congress's hands, that could pretty much be a death blow for Congress. They will be strapped for money and will not be able to match BJP's spending by the time the incumbency tests like Rajasthan, MP and Chhattisgarh come around. Not to mention, a state election is very different from bypolls, especially if that state election occurs around the same time as national polls with a Presidential style contest in the backdrop.
As for Punjab, Amarinder is not a typical Gandhi sycophant, he actually seems ideologically closer to BJP at times, and with his son in law possibly caught in a corruption case, I'm sure his cooperation can be attained in one way or another.
Where does this leave Congress and the Gandhis? Especially if they end up receiving shocks in Amethi or Rae Bareli during LS polls?

He ran a campaign "Modi for PM and Khujli for CM" which stuck with voters. The same party which won 67 seats was routed in MCD elections within two years. Their internal survey has always given them 75% seats in every election but somehow BJP manages to rig EVMs against them only. In short span of 5 years, AAP has lost deposits in more seats than BJP and Congress put together till date.
Third time is the charm . I'm sure you've never heard of this phrase . Let muffler on midget repeat his performance. Forget that . A simple majority in 2020 will suffice . Meanwhile heartfelt condolences to you and your ilk on Congress and CPM's performance or rather the lack of it . Something you must be familiar with as you get to hear it every night from Billy.
I trust , you'd caution your CO religionists in Sunday School tomm about the dangers BJP poses and why they ought to vote Niddaramiah to another big sleep at the helm for the forthcoming 5 years .
Sometimes when I see AAP, I feel like they will self-destruct just as quickly and dramatically as they rose to power. They've been demolished every time they have tried to expand out of Delhi, and now they are going through one headache or another in Delhi as well on a daily basis. Add to that Kejriwal's power hungry-ness, and the resulting infighting/departure of one founding member after the other; and AAP may end up fizzling out by the next Delhi elections.
As it is, they're basically down to selling seats now, and their gunda style politics was only effective when they were a new, opposition force against a hated incumbent like Congress.
@nair
Once again, sniping about a member's faith.
On Indian Political thread.
I guess for the frothing brigade, some Indians are simply not Indian enough.
To be engaged as Indians and not as x, y or z religionists.
Cheers, Doc
And bawa, I trust you would use the same measure when your chum here goes gaumata in the absence of anything of substance to post as a rebuttal. If I recall right , I brought this to your attention a few days ago to which your response was that it didn't concern you & that I should raise it with the relevant authorities. So glad to see you behave true to type.
