Topic: BJP

The Bharatiya Janta Party or the BJP is India’s biggest national party and currently rules the country. It was formed in 1980, though its origins lie in the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, which was founded in 1951. The BJP has been in power since 2014, with Narendra Modi as India’s prime minister.

In its UP campaign, BJP has displayed all the weaknesses usually chronic to Congress: lack of a clear CM candidate, infighting, absence of a grassroots organisation & agenda.

Minus the Left

If the elections in West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry go the way they are headed right now, they could potentially alter our national political equations, and set a much more interesting stage for 2014.

Lok Sabha, 2014

Shekhar Gupta -
A party will win or lose the next election depending on whether it can dump some of its awful, outdated and politically suicidal basic instinct or not.

Thank god for politics

SGIN -
While the charmed circle mourns the end of the idea of India because of political corruption, incompetence & cynicism, it is exactly our politics that is transforming India in a most remarkable manner now.

That funny Bofors feeling

Shekhar Gupta -
To those of us old enough to remember, this sentiment is not unfamiliar. We have seen this at least thrice in the past decades.
