Why BJP failed shamelessly?

[Arsalan]

Perhaps it have something to do with the rising extremism and radicalization. The hindutva mindset was always going to create a divide. Some sane people will think that this is like pushing Indian backwards! Would vote against it and will get support from all minority groups too. Honestly, the policy of hate and divide will always have a potential to backfire, that is exactly what we saw in these elections.

So you mean to say that when Indians voted in BJP they were fools? No man there are policy reasons and one factor has to dominate in making people think other wise. There has to be a core reason for people rejecting tall claims of BJP.

"Fools" according to who ? You ?

If so, According to me many "fools" have been chosen in Pakistan ..Nawaz being one such 'recent' example.. but does it really matter ? Pakistani people are free to choose whomever they want to.... why should an Indian be concerned..atleast as far as the election process itself is concerned.

Well, they lost Dehi..... They Came Back in UP....Lost Bihar then Came back...in NE....

The Story MIGHT be repeated..yet again.. as there is a Huge Difference between national and State Elections, Modi has NO Alternative. in Rajasthan, Now Modi can play a higher hand... and BJP will depend more on Modi.

besides, the Vote share is still in BJP's favor.

Modi is not that...worse...but I wish M. R. Scindhiya and Rajesh Pilot were alive ... Congress under them would have been the best Choice.

Even if modi comes back as PM he will not have a clear mandate like 2014. At best it will be via alliance and that will deal a body blow to their feral Gobar Hindutva Politics.

Congress also if they come would be in a alliance so no clear thumping mandate.

 

[Sine Nomine]

When did any political part in S.A has been able to fulfil promise they made during elections?

yes, But :

1. Modi is still most popular name for PM.
2. In MP, they have better Vote Share despite their Losses
3. In rajasthan, Raje had to go... She is very arrogant.. and the reason for "Modi Tujhse bair nahi..Raje teri Khair nahi.."
4. Congress still weak in TL and MZ, nothing improved

To sum up, Yes Modi's name WILL NOT WORK for STATES its Clear as shown by Gujrat, MP and Rajsthan.
But for national Election, it will be a different ballgame alltogether. Congress can give a good fight, but they lack a Leader tall enough to match Modi.

Rajasthanis always alternate between BJP-Congress every five years, this was made worse by BJP CM candidate Vasundhara Raje,who is seen as a drunkard women in Rajasthan. When modi visited Rajasthan for election campaign,yhere were slogans like " modi tujhse bair nahi,vasundhara Teri khair nahi"

MP has seen 3 terms of BJP and there was anti incumbency, which will die down as MP Congress is worst. Same case with chattisgarh.
It will be hard to gain absolute majority for BJP like it did in 2014 with 282 seats, but with they will form a government for sure.

Nothing to do with that, it was mostly due to anti incumbency and wrong CM candidates. These states are called cow belt where even Congress is afraid to oppose cow protection squads as it will make them seen as anti Hindu party ...as a matter of fact,it's the practicing Hindus who have not voted BJP this time to send a meesmes to BJP that if there is no Ram mandir,there is no vote.

I don't know man, have never been to India and have not known a huge lot of Indians outside this forum. I just thought that there would be many sane Indians sensitive towards the bigotry and radicalization under BJP and that contributed to the loss of BJP. But you are right, may be that is not the case and the general elections next year will give us all a better idea about which direction India is heading. It may already be too late!!

 

[BHarwana]

But these were all bjp strong states previously and the new trend shows that in India people are not happy with bjp. The anti-Muslim or anti-minority chant of bjp is not diverting attention from core issues.

 

[Daghalodi]

Dont count your chickens before they hatch!!

BJP can always win Indian elections by selling Pakistan rhetoric to bharati Janata and its a win win for Modi.

Is Rahul Gandhi the Hilary Clinton of India?

 

[Riz]

BJP Failed because India has a Vibrant Democracy. Indian People can Choose or Throw away whomever they want.
Its a Proof that how sensible the Indian Voters are and How Powerful the Indian Democracy is.

This is something to be Truely Proud of. Jai Hind !

BJP is right hand of indian establishment . Almost in every indian military forum you are not allowed to write anything in favor of congress or anti modi...you will be banned along with a lable of traitor ...

Indian military forums are populated by ultra nationalists who will favour BJP. Indian establishment is more or less neutral. They don't interfere in governance, but if there is something that has to be criticized, they will criticize it.

[ThinkLogically]

For National Election, add at least 6% vote share to the current vote share BJP in state elections.

BJP will win majority comfortably.

Okay give your own reason.

Incumbancy factor.

Perhaps it have something to do with the rising extremism and radicalization. The hindutva mindset was always going to create a divide.

No offence, but you dont know anything.
You dont even know difference between issues related to loksabha elections and rajya sabha elections.
That is okay thought cannot expect outsiders to know minute details of elections here and same would apply to me if i were to comment on pakistani elections and its relevant issues.
I have much to say but dont want to get into details hence would just say that whatever you said above will be appropriate to say only when modi gets defeated in April 2019 Loksabha Elections, which is different ball game altogether.

Indian Military Forums DONT Represent India. Period. You must not compare a few Thousands ( members of a any forum ) vs 1.30 Billion People.

Besides, Pakistani's often get confused with Mocking an Indian PM vs Mocking Modi. There is a difference.
They will readily accept anything AGAINST Modi but not the Indian PM, Maintain that decorum and I doubt if any one would have issues.
