The Shiv Sena, which had mended its rocky ties with the BJP ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, has now hit out at the Modi govt over the state of the economy.
The JD(U) stayed out of the Modi govt because Nitish Kumar wanted proportional representation, and wasn’t happy with the BJP’s offer of one cabinet berth.
Former PM HD Deve Gowda of the JD(S) lost to BJP’s G.S. Basavaraj in Tumkur. JD(S) ally Congress’ district president blames ex-MP S.P. Muddahanumegowda for it.
West Bengal is ready to welcome its daughter home for Durga Puja, but the family is unable to keep the deep-rooted discord within from spilling out. At its head is Mamata Banerjee.

The BJP should not be too cocky. Karnataka Urban body polls were held on 29th May just 6 days after the Lok Sabha results came out. Surprise, surprise. Though the Congress and the JDS contested separately the Congress won 509 of 1221 wards (42%), the JDS another 174 (14%) and the BJP just 366 (30%). Again there should be no surprise, because paper ballots were used, not the much maligned EVMs.
This lends credence to the belief that the EVMs can be pre-programmed. Why not, if the Pentagon could be hacked, what is a mere EVM?
Another real surprise is that this BREAKING NEWS has not been carried in any newspaper. Channels that did carry it, took it off by evening. SHAME on Indian democracy and a pliant media.

The BJP has enough money to engineer defections as it has done earlier in Goa and right across the North East. Nothing to be proud of.
