In an election rally in Sultanpur, BJP leader Maneka Gandhi said she had already won the election, and told voters they will want to build a foundation with her.
The Romans’ version of stoicism is rapidly picking popularity on Instagram — Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca are some names that get thrown at you when you fire up your screen.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
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.
All four comments are enough to conclude that Kumar Ketkar is a vassal of Gandhi family, a la Mani Shankar Aiyar. The latter was cultivated by NDTV for writing trash, and Ketkar is The Print’s discovery. Well, a bit of trashy writing in an otherwise reasonably decent journalism is tolerable. Or is it?
Socialists always tend to forget the economic reason as one among many for those who support bjp. For free market capitalists, bjp is less socialist than others, hence they support bjp.
I was contemplating NOTA. Kumar ketkar & his ilk are forcing BJP-turned-NOTA supporters vote BJP. Watching the anti-hindu vitriol peddled, I will now vote BJP
” Congress member of Rajya Sabha” – that says it all! What was the point of this characterisation of the traditional voter of BJP?

Very poor analysis by the author. BJP polled 17.16 crore votes in 2014. The categories as described by the author is way lower (44 lakh people of Indian descent in USA and they don’t vote in Indian elections). The most representative group as described by author is the Indian IT worker which only numbers 30 lakh. These numbers are minuscule compared to BJP’s votes.
