Now that the battle for Gujrat and Himachal Pradesh has ended with victory for BJP in both the states , I feel there are certain issues that need to be addressed seriously by all political parties. My own thoughts on them ..

1, BJP , although has lost out in the number of seats has gained considerably in vote share and so has it's opponent the Congress party.With incumbency an issue , it is all the more reason for BJP to celebrate the success f it's win n Gujrat.

2, Congress party has done well gaining 77 seats giving BJP a very tough fight right from the start . 

3, Himachal Pradesh has shown that Congress is slowly losing its grip but it may come up with a better performance next time round in other states.

4, Many of the tall leaders from both sides have lost their seats in both the states which goes to show that people want change and new age leaders . This is something all political parties need to take into account.

I feel that although BJP has emerged victorious , they cannot remain complacent because the next election in Karnataka will not be easy inspite of the Congress and the CM Siddaramaiah giving one of the worst performance ever. The Congress has other able leaders in Karnataka whereas BJP does not have many . All the more reason for BJP to be worried ...

It will be followed by a whole lot of other states like Mizoram, MP , Meghalaya, Tripura and so on ... It will be a battle fought like in Gujarat , hopefully without the usual muddle slinging and verbal abuse.

What the masses want nobody talks about. The Indian people voted out Vajpayee ( he had done reasonably well) and earlier voted ina "kichdi" Sarkar when dev Gowda and later Gujral became PM. Why can't that happen again? We do not know how the people will vote. but I do know that Indian does not like regimentation and Modi is committing a blunder by trying to link adhar with "everything". I am a frequent visitor to the USA and such draconian law is not there at all. So as I say don't be too sure of 2019. Vajpayee was a good man and did nothing wrong but was voted out.

At least a good number of sensible ones have started realizing it and have voted against the dynasty who fooled them with false perceptions and empty slogans for six decades. Hopefully they don't fall trap of it further, question and judge before voting rather than falling for loyalty for so many years. BJP or Congress...one has to question and then vote.

Dynasty's rule everywhere. In the USA power is concentrated in the hands of 15 big dynasties.One must go to America to realize it. Dynasties rule in Burma, Pakistan, North Korea, Syria , and even the UK where they have a monarchy. There is nothing wrong in a dynasty. I was last month in Pakistan and I was surprised to see the popularity of Bilal Bhutto, simply because he is Bhutto. We cant write away the Nehru dynasty. A few people writing against it will not help as all said and done Rahul is liked by lots of people.

It is certainly interesting with the Political scene in these times. The analysis summarizes the results well and i definitely agree with it. In general, the BJP party needs to have a strong opposition party which keeps them on their toes. This will help us to see favorable outcomes, which benefits all of us.

Rahul Gandhi may be popular as he belong to Nehru Dynasty but he is not capable of ruling India. He is a thoughtless person who speaks without doing his homework. A potential leader of the country needs to know more about his country.

A self centered person living in luxury funded by us tax payers ,  who thinks nothing of tearing up his own govts papers , has scant respect nor knowledge about what is happening  in his  own.country may be liked by Congress supporters but I doubt if the nation wd accept him as their leader , this following  is his latest gaffe

What I feel is that whatever Rahul says or does in public are neither his own views or acts but he only repeats what a group of advisers tell him to do. He is just a puppet dancing to the tune of a set of event managers. He performs his act and then disappears somewhere out of the country to take a rest or propagate against India.

Tut tut, quick judgements - they never help.

Well-well! You are going to be surprised. Astrologically he has Raj yog and destined to rule India.When? maybe not now but yes by 2024.Just watch Indian people will vote him in like Bilal.

Many are saying Rahul is a puppet. Friends so many said the same thing about Indira Gandhi. Remember she was referred to as " goongie gudiya".what happened? You all now better than me

Rajyog? Well, I am not surprised- after all he is born in a royal family with a silver spoon in his mouth so there.... but my question is... did anyone said Modi had a Rajyog in his kundli before he was elected as PM of India? Do you think a normal citizen of India would get the treatment Rahul Gandhi is getting in different temples? This is all sponsored show reserved for influential politicians and it will go on!

Goongie Guriya? As much as I know Indira was vocal and daring all through her political career and I appreciate her for everything she did as PM of India despite few controversial incidents.

Modi has Saturn in 12 house. This shows great rise and precipitous fall.This is  called the Napoleonic house. Napoleon was a great man but was defeated at Waterloo.People from aristocracy will in 9 cases out  10 rule.it is all over the world.

Either way , now the focus seems to be on Karnataka . In the recent election to the Rajya Sabha , BJP has further strengthened it's position by getting as many as 9 seats. 

Speaking about Karnataka , it will be a tough battle for BJP since  the present govt is going all out with its appeasement policy and openly promising the moon to the electorate. Siddaramaiah after sleeping through his tenure has the audacity to call hmself the best CM ever .

How do you think the Lingayat issue will make a difference on coming elections?

Generally, in an election promises are made but it is up to the electorate to watch out.

Lingayats are a very large community and in Karnataka they are in the third position. The largest number being Dalits, Muslims and thirdly Lingayats. Yediurappa being a Lingayat had made the demand for a minority status when he was the chief minister which was turned down by the ruling Congress govt then. But no w of course they are using it as a tool during the coming elections. I am not sure if it would really help them make major gains because there are influential Lingayat leaders in all political parties.
