Who winning the election ? @
chak de INDIA and others?
Honestly, I don't know. The Western media and the Indian media are acting as if the BJP and Modi have won, and only the coalition permutations are to be done, to form an alliance.
I don't know though, Indian elections are notoriously unpredictable.
I think both the Pro-Modi camp and the Anti-Modi camp is going to be disappointed with Modi's tenure (if he wins).
I mean if the BJP wins like 200 seats, they may have to dump Modi to find a less 'controversial' candidate to appease their allies.
Plus PDF seems to give off a skewed view of Modi since it attracts right wingers.
It's not like Modi is universally popular among Hindus. You have to keep in mind that even if Modi wins, the party at the maximum will get around 35% of the vote.
And there are many who vote for Modi who has Congress fatigue, or are free market advocates, but despise the rest of BJP/RSS ideology.
BJP is sort of like the Republican party in America. You have the big tent of conservatives. Social conservatives, Free Market advocates and national security hawks. You can have composite combinations of these three in an individual but also have divergent views.
Then you have to take into account regional politics. Banging on about Pakistan in South India, or the North-East might give you empty stares.
