Vedic wisdom for BJP to ponder upon: "If you hang on to the tail of a cow for too long, you'll end up with cow dung in your hands ".

Bihar voted out the cow and ended up with the fodder

This morning a Bihari co-worker of mine, a Maithli Brahmin like you, was having a long face. When asked why, he said "arre....what is this yaar...BJP is leading in the count". Later when I told him MGB has taken the lead, his face lit up and he ran to his cubicle to check it for himself. Just wondering....Upper castes support MGB too? Why? Some kind of sadomasochism?

Not really. Upper castes are traditional BJP voters. He must have some personal reasons.

Cow dung is quite valuable as a fertilizer. It does not translate into bombing of oil producing countries.

Quiet clearly upper Castes did not consolidate their votes this time.

IMO they made a cow argument to a community whose main job for centuries has been raising and selling cows milk. If anyone knows how to take care of cows in Bihar, it would be the yadavas. I doubt those people trying to save the cows know anything about cows or taking care of them. Yadavas thought the whole issue of Beef an insult to them. First poor yadavas sell old cows to butcher to earn some money. So calling such people un-hindu was an insult to their identity.

MP is a different case. In Maharashtra if BJP does not tie up with Shiv Sena and Congress-NCP fight together, BJP will be in lot more difficult position.

No, Maharastra is the only state in the country where both the ruling and opposition party space belongs to Hindutva ideologues, congress-NCP combine or no combine.

Correct. BJP should try to find out the reason.

Apparently its good only for BJP fans skin but bad for the election victory.

Yes. Could be as simple as this. Or, maybe something else

I do not see how? Bihar was always a non-BJP bastion. Even 2014 was a surprise result in Bihar. Not something expected. This time it took consolidation of the entire opposition in what is supposed to be a multiparty democracy to pull down BJP. So BJP whether you approve of it or not, is the sole Goliath of Indian political spectrum. BJP still rules more than a dozen states in India by itself and also with support of allies. Also richer and more prosperous states.

Dont be apologetic about the cow whether BJP speaks for it or not. We are in the right and we know it. They just want to us to abandon all our values. Biharis will still kill anyone who kills cows in Bihar.
