Discussion about outcome of Lok Sabha polls continues to boil in cauldron of expectations only from BJP. Now reverse this equation, what if we asked about the performance of the 'loser'?
Even in the weeks leading up to Chamkila’s assassination there were massacres every other day. To airbrush all of this is sheer intellectual cowardice if not a crime.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
As the BJP heads for a likely third successive term in power, it's fascinating to debate how true it looks to the original proposition: a party with a difference.
Oppn believes revelations about electoral bonds & idea of BJP’s ‘washing machine’ is a campaign pitch with some oomph. But most Oppn leaders still look at the picture more soberly.
Modi's reference to the 'committed judiciary' takes us back to the 1970s, when Indira Gandhi’s government twice superseded senior judges while appointing the Chief Justice of India.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
For BJP, CAA was strategic move that did not quite work out because those it would benefit could’ve been accommodated under existing laws, and new entrants would remain excluded.
Leaders with ‘mileage’ believe they can overcome age and vintage. Think Xi, Biden, Trump, going ahead Erdoğan & Putin and now, we have sufficient evidence to say, Narendra Modi.
The trouble for the Democrats is that their choices are bad. Even Biden’s Vice President, Kamala Harris, admitted that he had a slow start. The calls for him to step aside will only grow.
Navy team has already visited Ambala air station where IAF has kept one squadron of Rafales to understand commonalities of maintenance that can be pursued.
Changed reality for Modi govt in its 3rd innings is by no means rise of a new phenomenon. It's a return to old normal where even majorities had to routinely wrestle with storied million mutinies.
With tenacity, the Congress should be well into three digits. It is possible the BJP will not win (m)any seats in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. But not for want of effort. In 2004, Mr Rahul Gandhi had said that he would rebuild the party in UP and Bihar. 120 seats. Not much progress visible on the ground. If the BJP has built itself into the principal challenger in Bengal and Orissa, why not the Congress. As a non political person, I think the Congress is needed. It should be giving a better account of itself.
Shekhar,you are not what you used to be..I was one of the first subscribers for the Print.Now it seems like everyone else you have fallen in line with the govt.its just a matter of 1 month and hopefully it will be the end of godi media and you are barely out by the skin of your teeth.Yours is no longer honest journalism you are on the fringe.What a pity.How the one mighty have fallen
All the losers here think this is godi media, wait for June 4 losers, hopefully govt shows what real dictatorship is like
India Allies are crossing 320 this time and cong alone will get 140 seats

Kehna kya chahte ho? You can’t write there is a possibility BJP will not form govt ??

Fantasy of even 30 more seats for CONgress makes many in the media gloat. If this is not spectacular decline, what IS?
La La Land!!! When real world becomes unbearable, hide in make believe world such as depicted here.
