Hi evryone, I deeply regret to announce a sweeping BJP victory in these vital provincial elections.
They have swept the states of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh (near three-fourths majority) and look like they have evn wrested the state of Chhatisgarh which had a progressive Christian Chief Minister (whom of course they vilified as being anti-hindu and part of a worldwide Christian conspiracy)
The Silver Lining is a sweeping congress victory in the prestigious territory of Delhi (where the central government is based)
To be fair there were justified reasons for anti-incumbency in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh where governance was terrible. This was more of an anti-congress vote which happened to benefit the BJP as the main opposition.
In Delhi which had a sucessful congress govt. the voters bucked the trend and delivered a two-third legislative majority to incumbent Congress CM Sheila Diksh**t.
Chhatisgargh is the only case of a performing government kicked out because of the BJP's communal and hate-based campaign.
Shows it can still work in some areas.
Not a reason to dispair yet for India's secular identity but serious reason for worry. If nationally the congress party is unable to provide a decent govt. then that leaves no real national opposition for the BJP to win a majority at the center on its own (the end of India as we know it
). Okay that may be a bit harsh but lets just say I'm not looking forward to that prospect.
