राहुल गांधी जी, बधाई हो, ‘पप्पू’ अब एक धूर्त राजनेता बन गया है!

0

प्रिय चिरयुवा नेता श्री राहुल गांधी, अध्यक्ष – कांग्रेस पार्टी,

सबसे पहले आप का अभिनंदन! २००९  से २०१७ तक लगातार launch होने के बाद आख़िरकार आप एक पेशेवर राजनेता बन गए. वैसे तो राजनितिक परिपक्वता से आप अभी भी कोसो दूर हैं, पर पिछले कुछ महीनों में आप का मोदी सरकार को घेरने का प्रयास सराहनीय है. इसका श्रेय कितना आप को जाना चाहिए और कितना Cambridge Analytica को यह मैं नहीं जानता, पर यह ज़रूर कहूंगा की ‘पप्पू’ अब एक धूर्त राजनेता बन गया है.

जब से आप ने कांग्रेस की कमान संभाली है, पार्टी की राजनीती का स्तर लगातार गिरता जा रहा है. चुनावों से पहले लोगों को आपस में लड़वाना आप के लिए आम बात हो गई है. गुजरात में आप ने पटेलों को बाकी हिन्दुओं से लड़वाया, कर्नाटक में लिंगायत समाज को अलग धर्म का दर्जा देकर आप ने फिर ‘तोड़ो और राज करो’ का परिचय दिया. आप को शायद लगा कि इससे बात न बने, तो आप ने दक्षिण भारतीयों को उत्तर भारतीयों के विरुद्ध उकसाया.

२००८ में आप ने एक किसान की विधवा कलावती की दुर्दशा संसद में व्यतीत की. पर वाह वाही बटोरने के बाद आप कलावती को भूल गए. अंग्रेजी में इसे “use and throw” कहते हैं. फिर उसके बाद भट्टा-परसौल का झूठ हो या गोरखपुर त्रासदी, लाशों पर राजनितिक रोटियां सेंकना आपका सहज स्वभाव हो गया. “Tragedy tourism” में आपने महारत हासिल कर ली.

पर जज लोया मामले में आप की राजनीती का सब से घिनौना चेहरा सामने लाया है. एक झूठी मीडिया रिपोर्ट के आधार पर आप पिछले तीन महीने से जज लोया की मौत पर लगातार सवाल उठा रहे हैं. लोया के परिवार और उनके वकील द्वारा उस रिपोर्ट को ख़ारिज करने के बावजूद आपके रिश्तेदार (तहसीन पूनावाला) और ecosystem के लोगों ने सुप्रीम कोर्ट में जज लोया के मौत की जांच करवाने के लिए याचिका दाखिल की.

तथ्यों को परखने के बाद सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने न सिर्फ वह याचिका ख़ारिज की, बल्कि कोर्ट ने अपने निर्णय में याचिकाकर्ताओं के परोक्ष राजनितिक उद्देश्य को बेनकाब भी किया. अच्छा होता अगर इसके बाद आप यह मुद्दा छोड़ देते. पर राजनितिक स्वार्थ के लिए आप ने अब न्यायपालिका पर हमला बोल दिया है. भारत के मुख्य न्यायधीश के खिलाफ आप की पार्टी ने महाभियोग (impeachment) का नोटिस दे कर यह साबित कर दिया है की आप अपनी दादी की तरह सत्ता की चाह में किसी भी संवैधानिक संस्था की बलि देने में सक्षम हैं.

भारत की राजनीती में Emergency के बाद शायद यह सबसे निचला स्तर होगा. पर मैं यह भी जनता हूँ की जैसे जैसे २०१९ का चुनाव पास आएगा, आपका dirty tricks department और ज़्यादा सक्रिय होगा.

अंत में मैं सिर्फ इतना कहूंगा की देश की जनता सब देख रही है. इसी जनता ने १९७७ में आप की दादी को और २०१४ में आप की माँ को सबक सिखाया था. अपनी इस घिनौनी राजनीती से बाज आइए, वरना २०१९ का सबक २०१४ से भी कड़वा होगा.

Better late than never : The outlook towards crime against women is changing

0

Entire India has been agitated since two consecutive rape cases came into the light. Once again opposition parties have got an opportunity to blame BJP governments for these incidents. Streets are filled with protesters and media persons everywhere. Social media is blazing with posts demanding justice for Kathua and Unnao. All opposition parties seem to be very actively participating in protests and raising their voices against the current regime.

Rape itself is such a disgusting and inhumane act in which rapist must get hanged to death without any excuses. These incidences remind us how our society has lost its moral and ethical attributes. It is really very shameful and disgusting for everyone. Any society or country where such heinous incidents are happening on a regular basis must think about its dark future. In a society where mothers, daughters and sisters are not safe, it must leave dream of becoming a developed nation. A nation can never evolve when its people have lost their humanity, their benevolence and their altruism.

Unfortunately, when today as a nation we all are standing somewhere very close to the mark of that intolerance for such crimes, our opposition parties are busy in trying to give a communal twist to these incidents. A prosperous and rich nation builds on pillars of humanity, respect and safety. A country would only be considered progressive when every single person, the government and opposition would be focused on taking an immediate action on accused without any delay in such kind of incidents. No one should involve the religion of rapist and caste of the victim in these incidences. These things should never be a part of the discussion that whether the rapist is Hindu and victim is Muslim or rapist is from some political outfit and victim is a common public. The people who are bringing caste, religion or politics in these matters right now are utter sick and pathetic. They are just opportunist trying to gain attention and some political mileage. Believe me, they are good for nothing.

And right now in both of the matters, a communal politics has been played by the opposition and some mainstream media. They all are targeting BJP government because in one case, accused is BJP MLA and in another case, the victim is a Muslim girl. People who are busy in communalising these incidents somewhere equally responsible for this kind of incidences as they are not protesting for justice or they don’t have any kind of sympathy with the victim, everything is an appeasement drama. They are trying to gain some political brownies by making these incidences communal. Their media channels are busy in spreading these kinds of thoughts to create chaos and mobilizing mobs.

India has a poor reputation in crime against women in the whole world. And if you would look at NCRB (National Crime Records Bureau) data from 2005 to 2014, rape cases just doubled from 18359 in 2005 to 36735 in 2014. There was a sudden increase of 38% in 2013 vs. 2012 when Congress was in centre. But there was a decrease of 5.7% in 2015 vs. 2014 when BJP came into the centre. The NCRB data also shows that the overall crime against women have continuously increased since 2011 -2014 and got declined in 2015. So if Congress is doing candle march for the sake of 2019, it must look into the mirror and introspect their efficiency in these matters during their previous regimen. Most terrified and utterly odious “Nirbhaya Kand” is still in our memory, when Honorable Prime Minister, Mr Manmohan Singh had spoken “Theek Hai” on that case after his long as usual continuously hanging silence. So Congress shouldn’t teach BJP on such kind of Incidents and mind their own business.

Now let’s talk about the Samajwadi party, a party that is a group of this kind of predators and helped trying to hide and abscond one of his MLA Gayatri Prajapati who had been booked by UP police in a rape case. All airports and exit points across the country had been put on high alert to prevent this person from trying to flee the country. How can we forget the very infamous statement by their chief Neta ji about rapists (boys will be boys… they commit mistakes)? So before accusing BJP by saying that “Gundaraj” is increasing, they must look inside their garbage, which had been nourishing and proliferating these gundas since ages.

If anyone will go in depth in the history of today’s opposition parties who are targeting BJP, you would realize that these people are playing a very dirty politics by making a heinous rape case to a political drama. I felt much-ashamed toady that I am a citizen of a country where a rape case has been made to turn around religion, politics and caste to secure position and power.  Our leaders and media channels are more focused on communalising the incidents rather than focusing on punishing and hanging those rapists. Where the whole story has been twisted around a minor, a Muslim, a Hindu, rather than arguing for fair justice to the victim and a death sentence for accused.

But today, somewhere I also got relieved when our Honorable Prime Minister Modi came forward and spoke for justice for daughters of our nation. He explained it very thoroughly that this kind of incidents should never happen and he gave assurance that guilty will not be spared. He did not bring any caste or religion in his statements. He did not repeat the mistake of his predecessor. He urged the whole nation that every family must hold accountability for their son’s behaviour rather than interrogating their daughter’s only.

His statement was really effective as we should raise a boy to respect girl not to rape her. I was very glad when CBI arrested the accused at early in the morning without a delay. In my memory, this is the first incidence when a ruling party member was arrested so promptly in case of rape. I felt happy that BJP has also sacked their ministers on supporting the accused and trying to put its all effort to seek justice for that minor girl in Jammu and Kashmir state where its own Chief Minister is dragging her feet from proper clarification of the matter.This is definitely a good sign of change. But we all would be totally relieved and happy when no MP or MLA would be able to roam freely and abscond this country after doing such inhuman act whether it’s Kuldeep Singh Sanger or any other politician. This kind of animals will be sacked, punished and hanged sooner or later.

I am happy that things have started changing our system not very rapidly but yes they are.

As it is always “Better late than never.”

Will India decide the success of the Commonwealth?

0
Commonwealth was started after the rise of colonial Britain from the world. Once the clock closes outside the European Union, its importance has increased for Britain once again. But will the world value umpire 2.0?
Nearly one-third of the world’s population lives in 53 countries of the Commonwealth. Its purpose is to work for democracy, stability, security, and prosperity in member countries. Commonwealth members do more business with each other and they are also involved in other groups where they have more share. If only for the UK itself, the Commonwealth countries share 8-9% of its exports, but about 44% of the European Union.
Now that the UK will be out of the European Union, then the need for Commonwealth can be considered. This is the first time in the last 20 years that when the UK is hosting the conference of Commonwealth Nations heads, many people are also adding it to the Brexit, although this issue is not included in the agenda of Commonwealth meeting.
Experts are debating whether Commonwealth will meet Britain’s expectations. There is not much enthusiasm in its member countries. Many countries consider Britain’s colonial past to be part of it too. In the colonial era, there is a reluctance about those who have suffered slavery in the colonial period, they think why they once again work under the leadership of that country.  However, there is a fact that the mutual business of these countries is about 800 billion US dollars. Commonwealth member countries have the freedom to trade freely among themselves and the countries take advantage of each other’s resources.
Many people believe that if the role of emerging economies increases, then this group can achieve value for themselves. Partnership with fast-growing economies like India, Australia, New Zealand and Canada can make it successful. Britain may also have some idea of it.
India has given special significance at this meeting. The invitation of Indian Prime Minister to join the meeting itself was sent by the Queen to Prince Charles. Not only this, Narendra Modi is the only leader with whom Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May has a bilateral dialogue. Many experts also believe that if the Commonwealth is to be filled with energy than countries like India will have to face a decisive role. If the Commonwealth is to be successful, then India will have to play a bigger role in it. India is emerging in  economies and at this time its success cannot be considered without it.”
The Commonwealth is traditionally led by the Queen of Britain, and now that she has been 92 years old, there is also a thought of her successor. The problem of the Commonwealth is that in the past seven decades, it did not get as much importance as possible in the international business world. India itself does not have much interest in itself. The country’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had certainly shown interest in it, and considering Pakistan’s presence in it, he considered it necessary, but later Prime Ministers did not pay much attention to it. At present, when India looks restless to increase its role at the international level, it is possible that Britain’s initiative will make it more active in this group, but it will also have problems. It will be difficult for many countries to cope up with India’s growing role, Pakistan can be the biggest example of this.
The Commonwealth countries have a similarity in the administration, and all these countries speak English too. For these reasons, business is easy for them. Although these countries have links to the European Union and other business groups themselves, and there may be a problem for them after the Brexit. There are many countries of Commonwealth like Mauritius, Saint Lucia, Botswana who do business with the EU through the UK. London has been playing the role of the gate for them but now all this will change. It will also have an impact on Indian companies. Many changes will depend on that will take place after Britain’s exit from the European Union. The relations of other countries will also change from the European Union due to Brexit. Britain has tried to negotiate directly with India but India and other countries have said that they should outline their relationship for the first time from the European Union. There is also a bit of confusion for Britain too.
For the success of the Commonwealth, there is a great improvement in it. The world’s attention will go towards the Commonwealth when it will come out with a comprehensive reform of its new agenda. Experts believe that the needs of this time are different and according to them, this organization will have to make changes. India and other emerging economies can give it a new direction.
How expensive will the Brexit be? Both sides have the time until March 2019 to finalize Britain’s EU-related conditions. There is a question about the future of three million Europeans living in Britain.
  • In the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) 62,000 people work in EU countries. Most foreign workers have begun to leave Britain According to UK lawmakers, without these employees the NHS will be stalled within 24 hours.
  • 90 percent of veterinarians working in the UK come from 27 countries of the European Union. Now, these people are also preparing to return from Britain.
  • So far, skilled workers from different countries of the European Union have worked in UK farms. 65 percent of the employees came from the EU. But due to breakage, these employees will not be available anymore.
  • Many European products will be expensive in the UK as soon as the breakage is implemented. Dairy products, fruits, vegetables, processed food and wine will also be expensive if going out of the single tax market.
  • The British economy is set to get billions of pounds. Now the UK is exploring new markets, but in countries like India, China, and South Africa, there is already a lot of goodness in the European Union.

Why Hindus and India at large can never trust Rahul Gandhi or the Congress party

0

It seemed like as if PM Modi or BJP had been on the back foot off late. But the semantics kind of changed once the Indian PM got into a hearty conversation with the Indian diaspora at the Central Hall in Westminster, London. With the ever so eloquent Prasoon Joshi moderating the event it was surely an evening to remember. It was also an evening which once again gave Hindus or Indians enough reasons to ponder upon why Rahul Gandhi could never be considered as an option for a PM or why the Congress under the Gandhis could never be a viable political alternative to BJP.

1. To start with the first and the most striking reason that comes to one’s mind is Rahul Gandhi comes across as a very egoistic, brash and arrogant leader. A leader full of himself who was fed with the illusionary idea that he was by default bound to be the PM of India because he was born in the Gandhi family. There was no need for him to be a full-time politician as a coterie around him was meant to do the hard work for him while he could just wait for his crowning glory and take credit for the good work done and nonchalantly pass on the blame for any shortcomings. But then this comfort zone also meant a perpetual lack of preparation, regular gaffes, embarrassing blunders and his inability to answer questions at interviews and conferences.

2. Rahul Gandhi lacks the vision to take India forward. All his political moves are just meant to create disruption. He doesn’t take his job seriously and he is not well learned or educated on a lot of matters. He is often seen indulging in what one would call as ‘Shoot and Scoot politics’. He simply lacks the political knowhow on how to indulge in a constructive dialogue with the government. Or maybe, he does not want to do it at all as there seems to be a power greater than the Congress which seem to pull the strings. Maybe, the Gandhi family is just working on a sponsored narrative coming from Europe or Middle East or countries averse to seeing India becoming a world leader. Otherwise, how could anyone justify the cushy attitude of the Gandhi family towards enemies of India? Rahul Gandhi meeting the Chinese Envoy while the Doklam conflict was going or Mani Shankar Aiyer holding a clandestine meeting for Pakistani officials at his residence are instances which raise a lot of doubts.

3. Rahul Gandhi has been at the forefront of dividing the Hindu community. Be it the collusion with the likes of Hardik Patel or Jignesh Mevani in Gujarat or dividing the Hindus into Lingayats or Non-Lingayats in Karnataka. Congress Party led by Rahul Gandhi is just indulging in dirty politics and does not have the firepower to corner BJP on constructive and development based agendas.

4. Rahul Gandhi just running out of the country prior to the declaration of election results suggests he has not at all matured as a political leader. As a leader, if he can’t even take responsibility for his own party’s failures how can he ever take the responsibility for the Ups and downs the country would face while him being in the top post. It’s a very scary scenario. Isn’t it?

5. Rahul Gandhi is yet to be seen in the role of an administrator. Modi was 3 times CM of Gujarat and one of the best CM of India before he became the PM. Whereas the Gandhi scion could have taken up some administrative role during the UPA government but he didn’t do so. Why didn’t he do so? This is something which is beyond the understanding of the most seasoned political pundits. According to Sanjaya Baru, Author of ‘The Accidental Prime Minister’ the working relationship between Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh deteriorated when Rahul Gandhi came into the picture. Baru tells us how Singh as a Prime Minister was omitted from important decisions and his faithfulness went unrecognized. Maybe, it was the reason for Singh’s failure in UPA-2? This Question still needs an answer as Rahul Gandhi played a very dubious role in UPA 2.

6. Congress has always tried to corrupt or muzzle a free and fair media. Everyone knows how the Lutyens lobby and a media honcho who is said to possess a house worth 50 crores in plush locality of South Delhi comes across more as an obedient servant of the Congress than an honest journalist.

7. The Congress has never given a clear answer whether it supports the Hindu community in their quest for construction of a Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Rather, former HRD and Law Minister Kapil Sibal have always been seen undermining the Hindu cause by acting as a lawyer for the Sunni Wakf Board which is opposed to the construction of the Ram Mandir. The tacit support by Congress to Sibal for taking up the cause of the Sunni Wakf Board is not a secret.

8. Be it the arrest of Swami Aseemanand or Sadhvi Pragya Thakur, Congress has always tried to manufacture a fake narrative on saffron terror. All done with the idea of weakening or antagonising the Hindu community while at the same time appeasing the Muslim vote banks.

Now, these are some strong pointers from my side as to why Congress party is a curse for Hindus and India. Hindus need to exercise due caution and cast their votes in favour of a party which is not only sympathetic to the Hindu cause but can also take the idea of India forward.

Nazis and Communists, brothers from different mothers and same father

0

What is last resort of a liberal when he fails to win a debate or discussion using logics…?

Yes,

You guessed correct, they start calling the winning side Fascist or Nazis, But if you ask the difference between Nazism & fascism from a liberal he’ll never be able to explain it.

Have you ever thought that what is their logic behind calling the opposite side Nazis?

They follow the same agenda what their GODS of USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which was neither socialist nor a republic) followed during their dictatorship days, Joseph Goebbels of Reich Ministry of Propaganda of Nazi Germany of 3rd Reich used during Hitler regime & now their newbie angels of CCP

(Communist Party of China) & North Korean Dictator Kim-Jong-Un follow these days.

Bonding & friendship between Nazis and Communists (Modern Liberals) is not new, Both Nazis & Communists are Just “Brother from another Mother” & Everything was going well until one of them (Hitler)

Got it that we are “Brother from another mother & same Father” so to seize the Paternal property murdering the only stepbrother is the easiest option, That’s why Hitler invaded Russia even after signing the Nonaggression Pact.

It started even before the appointment of Adolf Hitler as the Chancellor of Weimar Republic (1919-1933 Germany) which was later renamed as Nazi Germany or 3rd Reich using the constitutional provisions

Reichstag Fire Decree and the Enabling Act of 1933”.

It is the same act which was brought into Indian constitution to resolve the emergency crisis but Indira Gandhi used same constitutional provisions like Hitler to convert India into an Authoritarian state & Provide power to Congress & Her Son Shri Sanjay Gandhi to Jail innocents, opponents & Countrymen who opposed their Loot & corruption.

Just after the Appointment of Hitler, Representatives of Nazi Party of Germany & Communist Party of Russia both mate & signed “German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact.

The Most famous Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, also known as the Nazi-Soviet Pact, The German-Soviet Non-aggression Pact.

This pact was a wolf in the cover of Lamb, they showed the world that Both of them are signing a non-aggression pact to avoid conflicts like world war 1 or The Great War.

On 23 August 1939 Ribbentrop (Joachim von Ribbentrop), Foreign Minister of Nazi Germany & Mikhailovich Molotov, A powerful diplomat of Soviet Russia signed this pact.

  “The clauses of the Nazi-Soviet Pact provided a written guarantee of non-belligerence by each party towards the other, and a declared commitment that neither government would ally itself to, or aid, an enemy of the other party.”

But in reality, it was Nazi German-Soviet Pact of Aggression for Poland & distribution of territories of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland & Romania. Some Political experts call it

“A Honeymoon for two dictators in Poland”

This Pact was invitation card of World War 2, After Two weeks of its signing Nazi German soldiers invaded Poland & by following the terms of the pact, after 16 days of Nazi invasion of Poland Soviet troops also invaded Poland.

“Signing of Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, 23 August  1939”

After the invasion, both sides divide Poland & started transferring & Murdering of captive soldiers & Polish peoples of each side.

Approximately 220000 polish nationals were murdered on the orders of Joseph Stalin the Supreme leader of Soviet Russia by NKVD (The secret Soviet police which became KGB in future) & Soviet army, This list included Polish soldiers & their families, Polish officers, Common Public & Administrative officers of Poland.

Thousands of Polish nationals of Soviet side (Soviet captured Poland ) were sent to Gulags (Soviet Concentration Camps)

“Katyn Forest Massacre” was part of this pogrom in which 112,000 polish soldiers were murdered by NKVD within one week in Katyn Forest.

After the end of world war 2, first, communists refused then accepted & even defended the whole massacre of innocent Polish nationals.

The whole procedures of the massacre were planned by Soviet officer & NKVD Chief Lavrentiy Beria, one of the most trusted officers of Stalin ( Beria was the same person who was accused of Murder of Stalin by his daughter with the help of Nikita Khrushchev)

And approved by the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, including its Supreme leader Joseph Stalin.

Stalin was so angry from Polish Nationals that he send his officers to bring back & punish the Polish folks who escaped from Soviet Poland & resulting this order Soviet soldiers brought thousands of Polish nationals from Nazi captured Poland & either executed them or sent them into Gulags.

The USSR claimed that the victims had been murdered by the Nazis in 1941 & continued to deny responsibility for the massacres until 1990 (Starting of Destruction of USSR & Application of Glassnost & Perestroika), when it officially acknowledged and condemned the perpetration of the killings by the NKVD, as well as the subsequent cover-up by the Soviet government.

On November 2010, the Russian State Duma (Russian Parliament) approved a declaration blaming Joseph Stalin & other Soviet officials for the massacre but He is still worshipped as Leader of Poor, workers & Labours by liberals.

“Next time whenever a Communist or Liberal call you Nazi Just remind them that who is real Nazi.”

 

Express uses Tripura CM to mock at Hindus’ beliefs

0

The other day an Indian Express editor sat down to write an edit on his computer with a chuckle.

Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb had backed his claim on “internet-in-Mahabharata” with a chiding to those “narrow-minded” who ridiculed their own civilization and swooned over everything Western.

Commies, by grounding if not funding, follow the first commandment of ensuring the culture of a country gets diluted and their “revolution” gains sufficient wind. After seven decades, even as the door is being shut on them in India, the dog’s tail, however, remains crooked as ever.

This pipsqueak thus chooses the moment to mock millions of Hindus with various references to their epics, wondering where is the “Facebook page” of a Dhritarashtra; why did Duryodhan and Yudhishtir at all physically gamble when they could have done so “online”; and Ganesha ought to have used Ved Vyasa’s smartphone to get help from speech-to-text technology.

This twerp must not have known that his computer can’t function without binary numbers which were first described by the Vedic scholar Pingala in his book “Chandahsastra” in the 2nd century BC.  That if he has millions in his bank account, it couldn’t have been possible without ancient Indians making the distinct contributions in the notation and decimal system, not to mention the use of zero.

If the editor had gone beyond his toilet paper origami, he could’ve found out that the works of Newton Leibniz or Gregory (ever heard of them?) is today known as “Madhava-Newton” series after the 14th century founder of the famous Kerala school of mathematics.

Next time when he swoons over his new-age newspaper office building, he ought to reflect how shapes and sizes of plots wouldn’t have been possible without trigonometry being formulated by Aryabhata.  How the eclipse Commies are deservingly suffering world over, could have a physical link to the lunar and solar eclipses which Aryabhata discovered.

If he had lifted his head over from his Gangsta Rap Colouring Book, he would have known that the circumference of the earth; and that it rotates around stationery sun was a discovery by ancient Indians.

If he hadn’t been knitting with dog’s hair, and noticed the changing season, he could’ve thanked Varahamihira for his contribution in the field.  The whippersnapper could’ve added to his advanced knowledge of treachery and subterfuge had he known the contributions of Shulbasutras in the arena of geometry, algebra and calculus. If he hadn’t been in the basement and working on divide theory, one could have told him about Kanad and the atomic theory he devised around 2600BC, centuries before John Dalton was born, for the “uncuttability” of matter.

It’s alright to read the manual on how to shit in the woods. It’s quite another to have a digestion for ancient India’s uncontestable achievements. This runt is not alone in squirting around: the likes of The Wire and NDTV have similarly been offensive to sentiments of millions of Hindus.

Their ersatz narrative is invariably hooked on selective Western references. Who are we to tell them that Albert Einstein once believed: “We owe a lot to the ancient Indians…without which most modern scientific discoveries would have been impossible.”

2019 – The battle of dogma

0

The wise always learn from past mistakes, and if BJP is wiser than earlier, it will choose not to repeat the blunders of 2004.

The then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was in his full form, the GDP figures which were crawling around 4% in 1998 was increased to more than 9% by 2004 – Economy was robust; the average road construction was up by 30% than the preceding governments, iconic projects such as the Golden quadrilateral were initiated – Infrastructure was phenomenal; India officially became the Nuclear State, the war of Kargil was triumphed with pride – Security was outstanding.

He was responsible in electing the first Muslim president of India – Social justice was delivered with dignity; Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan, Fiscal profligacy, Job creation, FDI, Telecom revolution, India landing on the moon, POTA and many more. Vajpayee’s tenure was a perfect illustration of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas”, it was a complete development package which India apprehended after decades of debacles.

Yet, the anti-BJP communion did succeed in its propaganda and “India Shining” was darkened with a weird laugh. BJP’s failure to retain the power dismally macadamized a traffic-free highway for corruption, anarchy and remote controlisation of the cabinet. At last, after two full terms of retro-whirl India voted against it and did throne the BJP.

BJP won in 2014 not only with the votes of “HOT – Hindutva of Temper” types, but also mainly because of “Adarsh Bharat” and “Aspiring India” votes coalescing them. The government might not have certainly reached up to the ultimate expectations of the HOT – their demand of building the Ram Mandir at Ayodhya by force of constitutionary powers may be valid enough; their stand on a two-child policy is certainly not an illegitimate testimony, no doubt a law subscribing to an Uniform Civil Code must be passed, a complete ban on religious conversion may be the need of the hour.

However, the honest efforts of the incumbent government in the aforesaid aspects are visible and has certainly cooled down the HOT’s. Adarsh-Bharath voters are “not so HOT’ but the Hindu sentiment is very much in their DNA, they visualize a Prosperous nation built on Ancient principles, they foresee an educated and empowered next generation subscribed to the aboriginal Bharatiya philosophy.

They visualize a Vishwaguru Bharath, from Education to Medicine, from Science to Technology, from Spiritual to Social lives of people, they wish it to be led by aboriginal Indian methods of practice. Aspiring-India voters are those ‘Cool-Dude’ kinds who wants to see India shoulder-to-shoulder with the US and the Chinas of the world.

They are the ones who want their children to be the chunk of Global-Desi’s – they also certainly wear a sense of pride upon seeing a saree or a kurta pajama on the university corridors or on those Five Star MNC campuses. They are those who are spiritual in practice but doesn’t believe in broadcasting it, they equally respect and follow the Bhagwadgeetha, Upanishads or the Vedas while boldly opposing certain theories which they feel to be a flaw. They are those who aspire for an Indian-Dream, who wants an Indian ‘Google or Toyota’, who wants to be educated at an Indian ‘Harvard or Oxford’, who foresees a Super-power India as an Ultimatum.

Modi in 2014 or ‘The Moditva’ in precise, had very brilliantly addressed the aspirations of the ‘trio’ by promising them a governance up to their expectations and has so far been successful in being on the track. However, BJP’s key strategy for 2019 should be to Keep these vote-bases intact as the opposition is in its full swing to disrupt its unity.

It is also clearly visible that beyond the rhetoric and beyond aiming barbs at Modi, neither Rahul Gandhi nor his bandwagon have a clear-cut vigilant economic vision to counter the government’s economic policy. The oppositions fact-less restlessness is a clear signage of the right direction that the finance ministry has headed towards.

However, Issues pertaining to Demonetization, Job Creation, GST, NPA’s at various Financial institutions and Black-Money are some of the prime economic antecedents on which the combined opposition is aggressively ill-campaigning about, so as to build a negative perception by the time of General elections. Time and again they have criticized Demonetization as a tragedy but have failed to address or offer a better solution to the Parallel economy issues.

Rahul Gandhi’s creativity was at its best when he found an uncanny acronym for the greatest Tax reform of the country, The GST as Gabbar-Singh-Tax, but he fizzled to furnish a better solution favoring the nation. The Black money issues of India are not born afresh, it is an open-secret that money to the tunes of more than sixty lakh crores are parked in safe heavens. However, due to the persistent efforts of the incumbent government, not only a part of the existing have come in but the doors for fresh parking are seemingly closed.

It could also be remembered that the Congress while in power had not even made a single attempt in this aspect. According to a World Bank report, by the end of the term of UPA-2 in 2014 the employment ratio had fallen to a dismal 51.7% as against 57.9% in 2004, ignoring the fact of their failure, they are now busy building a false narrative of lack of Job creation. However, the truth lies on the other end, A recent report by a globally renowned firm has unveiled the fact of India witnessing a seven year high in job creation, while subsequent reports from Industry associations like the Nasscom and similar have published healthy statistics.

Rahul Gandhi’s Temple run during the times of elections, soft-Hindutva talks are nothing but attempts to convince the voters by featuring a neo-avatar of being pro-Hindu. The series of Diaspora get-togethers, foreign university lectures, student meetings, Conclave appearances, cool tweets about his pet ‘pidi’ which were absent in the 2014 election campaigns are all designed to rebrand Rahul Gandhi as an updated leader. However, these enticing narratives are being propagated to create confusion among the clusters of “Aspiring India” and “Adarsh Bharath” vote bases, however an effective encounter is yet to emerge from the BJP’s war house.

Despite garnering votes on the Dalit sentiment and getting more than ten opportunities, Congress had failed in electing a leader from the Hindu Scheduled Caste to the president of India’s office, this dream of millions of Dalits was realized when BJP chose Sri Ramnath Kovind. The government’s “panchteerth” initiative to honor Dr Ambedkar’s contribution towards the nation has also certainly asserted the community about the government’s commitment towards Dalit upliftment, while Modi has also rolled out multiple new schemes for their welfare.  These pro-Dalit initiatives may have annoyed the opposition, who for decades have banked on the Dalit Votes, due to which they are visibly attempting to paint the government Anti-Dalit.

The Apex court’s latest verdict on the SC/ST act was opposed by numerous Dalit organizations and a Bharath bandh was also followed. However, the government despite doing its duty of filing a review petition, it was targeted for no legitimate reason and the issue was intentionally politicized, Rahul Gandhi baselessly alleged the BJP by saying that it is targeting Dalits. Be it Rohit Vemula’s suicide, the Una protest in Gujarat or the Koregaon agitations in Maharashtra, every Dalit issue which popped-up across the nation in the last four years has been artificially blown up and the BJP has been baselessly accused.

Very similar propaganda can also be witnessed in the issues pertaining to the ‘minority’ communities, Governments minority empowerment policies, its stand on the Triple Talaq and others have altogether sent a strong signal to the opposition asserting them that the minority votes are at stake. Hence a vigorous attempt of branding BJP as Anti-Minority is under process, and for this most of the fundamentalist Islamic organizations and the Christian Churches have visibly joined the bandwagon.

The award wapsi campaign claiming, ‘rising intolerance in India’, Massive catalogued-outrages against crimes involving victims of minority communities and dealing with absolute reticence while crimes against the victims of non-minority communities happen, all seem to be a part and parcel of a larger conspiracy.

The nation is also witnessing movie actors joining the Anti-Modi forces, be it Prakash raj or Kamal Hassan, but the irony is their voices have implied more of a war cry at a losing battle field. They have threatened India’s integrity by bidding for a ‘Dravida-Nadu’ and indirectly calling for secession while appealing the voters to stay away from voting the BJP. The reminiscence of attacks against the government, though unruly and undemocratic, it has turned out to become exceptionally organized, coordinated and penetrative with a clear focus on to divide the society by creating consistent confusion and unrest.

In 2004, BJP led NDA had support from twenty plus political parties while Congress led UPA was almost alone, despite BJP lost. The Contest for 2019 is changing, BJP is forced to fight almost alone while the Opposition has started to polarize, political parties from across ideologies and background; The Left, the religionists, the regionalists and the Casteists, all are joining hands with a one-point agenda of restricting BJP from retaining power. It’s no more a mere electoral battle for the Anti-Modi bevy, for them it’s a matter of survival, it is a Do or Die Confrontation.

If ‘Vikas and Rashtrabhakti’ combinedly script Modi’s Dogma, his opponents are equally unitedly determined to counter it in the run up to 2019 and its time for BJP to evolve wiser.

मैं हिंदू हूँ, मैं थक गई हूँ, और मैं क्रोधित हूँ

मैं एक भारतीय हिंदू हूँ, और मैं थक गई हूँ और मैं क्रोधित हूँ

मैं थक गई हूँ, मेरे धर्म पर, मेरे त्योहारों पर, मेरी परंपराओं और विश्वासों पर, मेरी जीवनचर्या पर निरंकुश हमलों से।

मैं थक गई हूँ एक हिंदू के रूप में मुझे अपमानित करने के लगातार अनथक प्रयासों से। मैं थक गई हूँ अपने देवताओं, पवित्र प्रतीकों, मेरे पूजा अर्चना के तरीकों का बार बार उपहास उड़ाये जाने और अपमानित किये जाने से। मैं थक गई हूँ बॉलीवुड, तथाकथित पत्रकारों, छद्म बुद्धिजीवियों के हिन्दुविरोधी व्यवहार से जिसे वो बड़े आनंद और उत्साह से दर्शाते हैं।

मैं थक गई हूँ अपने ही देश में अपने मौलिक अधिकारों के व्यवस्थित कानूनी और संवैधानिक उत्पीड़न से। मैं थक गई हूँ सरकारों द्वारा मेरी शैक्षिक संस्थानों को बंद करने के लिए मजबूर होने के कारण (शिक्षा का अधिकार कानून मात्र हिन्दु संचालित शिक्षा संस्थानों पर ही लागू है)।

मैं थक गई हूँ हर तरह की सरकारों द्वारा (नीली, हरी, भगवा सभी दलों की) अपने मंदिरों के दुधारु गाय कि तरह शोषित किये जाने से। सरकारें मात्र हिन्दु मन्दिरों पर ही नियन्त्रण रखती है जैसे वैष्णो देवी श्राईन बोर्ड, तिरुपति देवस्थानम बोर्ड, जो भी चढ़ावा आता है वो सरकारी खजाने में तो जाता है पर उपयोग होता है अन्य कार्यो में।

मैं थक गई हूँ अपने अस्तित्व पर हो रहे निरंतर व कठोर हमलों से। मैं थक गई हूँ मीडिया-शिक्षा-एंटरटेनमेंट इंडस्ट्री में काबिज कम्युनिस्टों और क्रिस्लामियों के हमलों से।

मैं थक गई हूँ उन लोगों की निष्क्रियता से जो हमने अपने नेताओं के रूप में चुने थे, लेकिन इस सबसे बढ्कर, मैं थक गई हूँ आम शहरी, पश्चिमी पद्धति शिक्षित दब्बू हिंदूओं के अपने धर्म से विमुख होने से।

मैं थक गई हूँ हिन्दुओं को विभाजित करने के निरंतर, अच्छी तरह से वित्त पोषित, अच्छी तरह से योजनाबद्ध, व्यवस्थित रूप से चलने वाले अभियानों से।

और मैं थक गई हूँ इस बात से कि हम कितनी आसानी से एक क्षण में विभाजित हो जाते हैं। जाति, भाषा, भोजन, लिंग, कोई भी बहाना हमें छोटे छोट समूहों में विभाजित करने के लिए काफी है!

मैं थक गई हूँ ऐसे लोगों से जो आसानी से हर इस्लामी आतंकवादी हमले के बाद बडी शिद्दत से कह देते है कि “लेकिन, परन्तु आतंकवाद का कोई धर्म नहीं है” लेकिन हर छोटी से छोटी घट्ना के लिये सम्पूर्ण हिंदू समाज को दोषी ठहराये जाने का सम्पूर्ण प्रयास करते है।

और मैं थक गई हूँ उन हिन्दुओं से जो ऐसे हर प्रयास को बढावा देते हैं और गर्व से अपनी आस्तीन पर इसे सम्मान के एक प्रतीक की तरह स्वेच्छा से पहनते हैं। मैं थक गई हूँ मूर्ख धिम्मी हिंदुओं के बेकार बिना कारण के अपराध बोध से, जो यह नहीं समझते कि इस्लामियों की नजर में हम सभी काफिर हैं, यहां तक ​​कि मूर्ख धिम्मी हिंदू भी।

मैं शर्मिंदा हूँ हिंदू संभ्रांत वर्ग की तथाकथित शर्मिंदगी (जैसा कि पिछ्ले दिनों बॉलीवुड ने दिखाया) और क्रिस्लामियों के सामने उनके आत्म समर्पण से जो अपने स्वार्थ के लिए हिंदू विरोधी प्रचार मेंउत्साहपूर्ण तरीके से भाग लेते है। जो ये नहीं समझते की जिन लोगों के ये तलुवे ये चाट रहे है वो हर बार उन्हें रौन्द कर आगे बढ़ जायेंगे।

मैं थक गई हूँ तथाकथित हिंदू नेतृत्व से जो हर बार हिंदू हितों को उन्ही क्रिस्लामियों के सामने बेच देते है जो खुले तौर पर हिन्दुओं और उनके त्योहारों , परंपराओं और विश्वासों का तिरस्कार करते हैं।

मैं थक गई हूँ उन अर्थहीन सरोकारों से जैसा कि हमारे कुछ लोग यह बताते हैं कि कैसे प्रतिशोध “हिंदू मार्ग या तरीका” नहीं है और हम सभी को हर अपमान को नरम रूप से स्वीकार कर लेना चाहिएक्योंकि हम ही एक “सभ्यता है जो किसी तरह बच गए” हैं। क्या यह मजाक है? कॉकरोच भी तो जीवित रहे, लाखों कि सँख्या मे हर साल विनाश होने के बावजूद, क्या इसका मतलब यह है कि कॉकरोच का कोई सम्माननीय अस्तित्व है?

हम सभ्यताओं के युद्ध के बीच में हैं, और यदि आप हिंदू हैं और इसे देख नहीं सकते हैं, या आप इसे नहीं देखना चाहते, तो आप सर्वथा हारने योग्य हैं।

इतने सारे क्षण हैं जब मैं खुद से पूछती हूँ कि क्या यह लड़ाई लड्ने के लायक है? ऐसे दिन होते हैं जब मैं नाराजगी को पीछे छोड़ और उन चीजों पर ध्यान केंद्रित करती हूँ जिसमे मुझे खुशी मिलती है – मंदिर, बुनकर वस्त्र और यात्रा के त्रि-सूत्र!

और फिर, मैं एक भारतीय गांव की यात्रा पर जाती हूँ और मिलती हूँ ऐसे लोगों से जिन्हे अपने हिंदू होने पे गर्व है। मैं देखती हूँ एक ऐसा अद्भुत प्राचीन मंदिर जो एक ही ठोस चट्टान को ऊपर से नीचे की तरफ खुदाई करके बनाया गया है, मैं देखती हूँ ऐसे बुनकरों को जो रोज काम शुरू करने से पहले अपने करघे को सबसे पहले नमन करते हुए, जो अपने काम के साथ उनके एक गहरे आध्यात्मिकसंबंध को दिखाता है। और मुझे मिलता है हिन्दू होने का अर्थ जो लोगों को उनकी जड़ों से जोड़ता है, उन्हे आधार देता है और इन सबमे मिलता है मुझे एक नया जोश, एक नयी स्फूर्ति।

सदियों से, उन्होंने हमारे मंदिरों को नष्ट किया, हमारी देवमूर्तियों को तोड़ा, हमारी महिलाओं के साथ बलात्कार किया, हमारे बच्चों को गुलामी में बेच दिया, फिर भी हमारे पूर्वज अपने धर्म पर टिके रहे। ये साधारण लोग थे, जिनके पास साधनों की कमी थी, कम पढ़े लिखे लोग, लेकिन उनके पास था तो एक महान व दॄढ विश्वास। हां, मैंने देखा है उसी दॄढ्ता, उसी विश्वास के साथ धर्म का पालन होते हुए।

अपने धर्म पर हो रहे लगातार हमलों की पराकाष्ठा को देखते हुए जागॄत हिंदुओं के रूप में लड़ाई करना हमारा कर्तव्य हमारा धर्म है। हाँ, जो कुछ हमारे पास है उसको बचाने के लिये लड़ना हमारा कर्तव्य है। जैसा कि सीताराम गोयल ने एक बार कहा था “हर जागॄत हिंदू मस्तिष्क, धर्म के लिए एक सैनिक है”।

याद रखें,

धर्मेविहतोधधर्मोरक्षतिरक्षितः

धर्म उन लोगों की रक्षा करता है जो इसे सुरक्षित करते हैं!

(इस्लाम में धिम्मी (dhimmi उर्दू में जिम्मी) उस व्यक्ति या व्यक्तियों के समूह को कहते हैं जो मुसलमान नहीं है और शरियत कानून के अनुसार चलने वाले किसी राज्य की प्रजा है। इस्लाम के अनुसार इन्हें जीवित रहने केलिये कर (टैक्स) देना अनिवार्य है जिसे जजिया कहा जाता है। धिम्मी को मुसलमानों की तुलना में बहुत कम सामाजिक और कानूनी अधिकार प्राप्त होते हैं। लेकिन यदि धिम्मी इस्लाम स्वीकार कर ले तो उसको लगभग पूराअधिकार मिल जाता है)

5 Cases where True Indology exposed Audrey Truschke

I’m one out of such thousands of Twitter users who finds @TrueIndology to be the best available source of knowledge regarding India’s History. True Indology leaves no chance of debunking the myths drawn by Hindu-phobics to defame India and her past. As a response, True Indology remains the prime target of Hindu-phobics.

Now the objective of mine behind writing this article is that I realise a fixed pattern followed by the haters of True Indology.

The pattern is that whenever True Indology exposes such Hindu-phobics, they don’t reply to True Indology directly on factual grounds but they keep peddling their agenda and after a course of Time, they start pretending as if True Indology is running away from the debate.

The recent example of what I’m saying is this Tweet of Audrey Truschke:

Just spot the hypocrisy of this lady! True Indology exposed her fraud claims enormous times and as a response, the only thing she did is that she blocked True Indology on her Twitter account. And after blocking True Indology, she keeps posting such tweets which creates a perception that it is True Indology who is running away from the debate.

Now the problem is that people usually forget Tweets over a period of time. So all those Tweets where True Indology put great efforts on exposing Hindu-phobics are forgotten within a short timeframe. So I decided to compile those 5 cases where True Indology has exposed fraud claims of Audrey on Twitter.

Case 1:

Audrey Truschke’s Claim:

Audrey Truschke tweeted on 11th October 2017 (a weekdays before Diwali 2017) that Aurangzeb not imposed restrictions on just Diwali but he even clamped down on Eid, Holi and Muharram.

The motive behind this tweet was, of course, to polish the rude image of Aurangzeb.

She mentioned ‘Eid’ & ‘Muharram’ so that this will leave an impression in people’s mind that Aurangzeb not just imposed restrictions on Hindu festivals but even on Muslim festivals.

True Indology’s Response:

Audrey’s tweets may deceive those who are unaware of History, but obviously, not to someone like True Indology.

To counter Audrey’s tweet, True Indology decided to tweet an entire thread examining Audrey’s claims

Audrey’s tweet names to Muslim festivals on which according to her, Aurangzeb clamped down:

  1. Eid
  2. Muharram

True Indology first countered her “Muharram” claim. He explained that Muharram was targeted by Aurangzeb because it is a SHIA FESTIVAL whereas Aurangzeb was a Sunni bigot. He backed, as usual, his claim with a proper source.

Now comes the turn of Eid:

When it was asked to Audrey by a Twitter user (@inamabidi) that what’s the source of her claim that Aurangzeb imposed restrictions even on Eid, Holi & Muharram, she replied: “see my #Aurangzeb book”.

But this was just another deceiving tactic by Audrey. True Indology exposed even this. Because he has read her book, he clarified that Audrey has not provided any source of her claim in her “Aurangzeb book”.

Next, True Indology provided us with any evidence which proves that Aurangzeb used to celebrate a grand Eid. True Indology provides us with the testimony of Italian traveller, Niccolao Manucci who recorded the grand celebration of Eid held during Aurangzeb’s regime.

True Indology went on to provide us with another source which confirms the celebration of Eid during Aurangzeb’s regime:

True Indology exposed Audrey furthermore. He elucidated that there was no “clamped down” against Eid by Aurangzeb.

True Indology clarified that Aurangzeb only restricted pictures and idols on Eid. He even provided us with a reference to his claim:

And Aurangzeb restricted these pictures and idols because it is well-known that such representation of living beings is unlawful in Islam.

CASE 2:

Audrey’s Claim;

Once while replying to a Twitter user, @mcoond , Audrey again did what she is known to do. She, this time tried to craft a “Hindustani image” of Aurangzeb by tweeting that Aurangzeb had substantial Rajput blood.

True Indology’s Response:

But before Audrey’s motive of polishing Aurangzeb’s image was accomplished, True Indology responded to her with hard facts.

True Indology clarified that Aurangzeb never considered himself as Hindustani but Turani. Aurangzeb in fact stated that Hindustanis are idiots.

Case 3:

Audrey on 13th September 2017 tweeted that India was the richest place under Mughals. Then she further said that Mughals nowhere took our wealth.

True Indology’s Response:

First, True Indology responded to the lie that Mughals nowhere took our wealth.

True Indology, with a substantial source, countered Audrey by citing that Aurangzeb sent 70 Lakhs in 6 years to foreign Muslim kings and places.

True Indology then clarified that as far as being “rich” is concerned, it was Mughals who became “rich” after their invasion to India.

True Indology posted a painting which shows horses dying in Mughal camp. And then True Indology sarcastically said ‘This is how “rich” the Mughals were before they came to India’.

Then True Indology explained that how Mughals became so rich.

True Indology provided us evidence that Mughals used to charge heavy tax on subjects.

True Indology then disclosed inhumane character of Shahjahan. He illustrated that when Shahjahan was constructing Taj Mahal using Hindu Tax Money, most of the Hindus could not afford the basic meal and a piece of cloth. As always, True Indology backed his claim with proper source:

Thereafter, True Indology explained with evidence that because of such poor policies, till the end of Mughal era in 1857, India became totally destitute.

CASE 4:

If you follow Audrey, then you must be knowing that one argument which is rapidly used by her and even by others is that “Aurangzeb had many Hindu warriors in his army”.

True Indology debunked this absurd argument brilliantly. He said: “150,000 Jews served in Hitler’s army! So, let us conclude that Hitler had no agenda against Jews!”.

Case 5:

The best counter against Audrey’s fraud claims known to me is a combined effort by True Indology and Dimple Atra.

Both of them wrote an article where they examined fraud claims of Audrey and debunked them in great detail. It is a must read article for all those seeking the truth behind Audrey’s false claims.

BJP prospects in Andhra Pradesh post-TDP split and bitterness

0

BJP has 2 Lok Sabha seats from the state. In this article I argue that BJP can win 3-4 seats i.e. double its tally by choosing right candidates and make some shrewd behind the scene arrangements with regional parties.

I would analyse only 8 of the 25 Lok Sabha constituencies of Andhra Pradesh where I feel BJP has/had clout, and can expect to win in 2019.

Out of these 8 seats, 3 seats I strongly feel are winnable, 3 seats where it can give a fight if it can assure itself of any one regional party, and finally 2 seats where odds are completely against BJP.

« Kothapalli Geetha (Araku – SC seat) : Rebel-YSRCP MP

“I am not going with any of the regional parties in A.P. because of the corruption associated with them and ideological differences,”

“I may come up with my own party or align with a national party. In August, I will announce my decision and resign from the YSRCP,”

Her joining the BJP or creating her own small party will either way be beneficial to BJP… as neighbouring Vishakhpatnam has a sitting BJP MP…

She said in March 19, 2018 — her comments came after all the chaos on SCS status and Babu withdrawing from NDA. So fair guess, she knows what she is getting into Assembly segments: YSRCP – 6 and TDP -1

Probability: High, If she were to join the party.

« Kambhampati Hari Babu (Visakhapatnam): BJP Andhra President

(fully urban seat, with population of central govt employees/armed forces/north Indians)

The win here was very significant in 2014, as it came against YS Jagan’s mother herself.

Seat was earlier held by Purandeswari for INC in 2009 (now in BJP)

Probability: High, Seat has traditionally supported the national parties. It thrice voted in favour of whichever party is more likely to win at Centre (2004 INC, 2009 INC, 2014 BJP)

« Kakinada: Sitting MP from TDP

Falls under East Godavari District, a district that has sizeable population of Kshatriyas and Kapu caste, which are both not so friendly with the TDP.

TDP benefited here because of INC meltdown in 2014, and Pavan Kalyan and BJP’s support to TDP (even then they barely scraped through with 4000 margin)

1998 Krishnama Raju of BJP held this seat(TDP was held 2nd and INC 3rd) only explains the clout his caste has in the region.

Probability: Low, but BJP can play a spoiler for TDP in this seat and clearly both YSRCP and Jana Sena will benefit to have BJP’s support or vice versa.

« Rajahmundry: Sitting MP from TDP

BJP has held this constituency twice earlier, once in alliance with TDP and once in a three way contest between BJP, TDP and INC

It also falls under E.Godavari District

Probability: Medium to high, depending on tacit support BJP could get from any of the other two regional parties YSRCP and Jana Sena

« Narasapuram (Sitting MP: Gokaraju Gangaraju, BJP)

BJP is not stranger to the people of this constituency. Krishnama Raju won it in 1998, came 2nd with a 44% vote share in 1999. In 2014 BJP won this seat with vote% of 50%

Probability: Medium to high, depending on tacit support BJP could get from any of the other two regional parties YSRCP and Jana Sena

« Eluru (sitting MP: Maganti Babu of TDP)

BJP has a stalwart leader of the area Kavuri Samba Siva Rao, he was earlier in Congress and twice MP from here in 2004 and 2009, could not contest in 2014.

Probability: Medium to High, Kavuri Samba Siva Rao can be expected to win on his own

« Rajampet (Purandeswari contested from here and lost)

Daggubati Purandeswari is daughter of NTR, TDP founder and two-time Chief Minister. She was 2 time MP, once from Bapatla and once from Vishakhpatnam. She has a very articulate persona and she commands the respect of her father’s fans even to this day.

She was given Rajampet seat, a predominantly rural seat which she had no connection to, in the seat sharing agreement with TDP in 2014. She lost the seat, which she claimed was due to lack of time to campaign as seat was allotted to her only on the day of nominations, this wasn’t surprising considering the animosity she has with Chandra Babu Naidu.

Currently she holds the post of co-incharge Karnataka helping BJP win over the Telugu speaking population of Karnataka.

Probability: Low, Purandeswari should contest from Bapatla instead

« Bapatla (sitting MP: TDP)

Purandeswari’s husband Daggubati Venkateswara Rao was a Minister in TDP government under NTR. TDP was split up in 1995 and NTR was forced out of his own party, for which Chandra Babu Naidu is often accused of ‘backstabbing’ his own father-in-law for power.

So Daggubati left TDP in bitterness and joined Congress. He was a 5 time MLA for the party. He did not contest in 2014 and stayed away from politics since then. Daggubati family has a strong clout in the Bapatla Lok Sabha region of Prakasam District.

If either or husband or wife were to contest from this seat.. it will be a sure-shot victory for BJP.

Probability: High, considering the clout of the Daggubati’s in the area

Apart from this, there are leaders like Kamineni Srinivas(from Kapu community), and Kanna Janardhana(from Kamma Community) who can win a seat or two for BJP on their own.
