I BJP fulfills the promises made to Jaats, they are not going to desert them. :)
Jaats were mostly split between INLD and Congress in Haryana and BJP's Sonipat MLA Saini has angered jaats with his nonsense and we might support BJP for Modi at center but local leaders must be kept in line if BJP wants to rule Haryana for second term.

Samajwadi Party leader and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav lost the election and we lost India despite impressive records of development. Ours was obfuscated by foisting a shadow of corruption and Yadav was burdened with an exaggerated allegation of messy law and order. Yet no voter seems to have cared to question the unwarranted misery of demonetisation and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan continued to be mocked by mounds of garbage all around us.

The visionary manifesto of the Congress was of no interest to anyone. Our past record of citizen-centric schemes such as the RTE, RTI, MGNREGA, farm loan waiver, to name but a few, was not even mentioned. Truthfully the talk of development was a smokescreen for two frightening dimensions of public policy: To rewrite our past; and to redesign our future. The war that has been waged is not for growth and development as ingredients of justice, but as instruments of dominance of social choice. Ironically, the social justice movement, that only a few years ago, under the banner of Mandal looked invincible, has crumbled in the face of “sab ka saath, sab ka vikas”.

If the EVM issue is not to be taken seriously as seems the case now, the support for the BJP across castes and classes is unprecedented, upsetting the cosy caste havens of the SP and Bahujan Samaj Party. But this could this be a blessing in disguise and the beginning of serious maturing of democratic attitudes in UP? Or will there be a similar backlash a few years on that will bring back the forces of social justice with a vengeance?


Anything is possible. Carefully crafted class conflict obscured by a cynically chosen common enemy cannot last indefinitely; nor can the impact of doling out everything to everyone. Beware the wrath of the citizen who feels betrayed, particularly when alibis of failure run out.

All this does not mean that the Congress and other centrist-to-Left parties need to do nothing but wait. This is the phoenix moment to work not just for political revival but a renaissance in our society. Generations that did not participate in the Independence movement and, therefore, have taken freedom for granted will discover its value. Freedom of the mind and soul, the most cherished of freedoms, is what we have to collectively preserve and protect.

Those who foolishly believe that the India we know has no concern for this freedom, do not know India, no matter they call it Bharat or Hindustan. There will indeed be a new India but the narrative will be authored by the inheritors of freedom and freedom fighters of tomorrow. Let the gauntlet be picked up and the battle joined in right earnest.

Deoband mein BJP ka MLA hai ab, ab isse zaada specific kya ho sakta hai and RLD ki 1 seat aayi hai western UP se. Jaats are still miffed at BJP regarding quota but are willing to give a bit of long rope to them. New OBC commission has been a positive step forward but we are getting impatient. :p:
@ranjeet bhai western UP mein BJP ka kaisa raha kahi specific western UP ke results nahi mile aur jatton ka abhi kya haal hai ?

Jaats did cause some harm to BJP in 1st phase-reason why It lost key seats like Kiarana, Meerut cant- But anger was almost gone in 2nd phase-

Jaats were mostly split between INLD and Congress in Haryana and BJP's Sonipat MLA Saini has angered jaats with his nonsense and we might support BJP for Modi at center but local leaders must be kept in line if BJP wants to rule Haryana for second term.

I think a non-Jaat CM in Haryana is a big issue among Jaats- Jayant Ch- was claiming to set Jaat CMs in UP, Rajasthan, Delhi and Haryana it is another thing that he got only one seat chappraulli- that too by a small margin-

I second that BJP won 66/73 in 1st Phase. :)

Jaats are just 23% in Haryana and we have a Congressi CM who was non CM (Bhajan Lal) , but Jats have to learned about the changed times :)
You can never get everything like a CM post reservation and all

BJP did win 66 seats but- losses should not be over looked- and I doubt a shrewd Politician like Shah would over look this- It would need strong Jaat Backing to win some Muslim dominated seats in Lok Sabha-

Keep in mind that Western UP voted 51% in favour of BJP- This time It was 47%- this is the area where even combined BSP-SP-Congress would fail to beat BJP at this vote share- Their target should be achieving 51%+ in all areas of UP- Bundelkhand is close with 47% this time- But work needs to be done in other areas-

They will learn- BJP should use Nationalism to over come this Jaat Ekta-
 
Try and Rig EVMs: EC Takes Up Kejriwal's Challenge

New Delhi: The Election Commission is set to invite technocrats, scientists and representatives of political parties and give them a shot at tampering with the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) in a bid to prove they are fool-proof.

"We invite technocrats, scientists and political parties to demonstrate (tampering EVMs). We had thrown open challenge to all naysayers in August 2009 as well. But none could prove or demonstrate -ECI EVMs tamperablilty," a source told CNN-News18.




The move comes in response to Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal’s challenge to the poll panel wherein he asked for 72 hours to prove that EVM machines can be tampered with.


"Give us 72 hours... I will reveal the software, and tell you how it can be tempered with," Kejriwal said in a press conference on Monday. He also demanded that the upcoming MCD voting in New Delhi be conducted on paper ballots.

Kejriwal also claimed that in Madhya Pradesh's Bhind bypolls, the EC is deploying the same EVMs that were used in Uttar Pradesh polls, which several non-BJP parties say were tampered with.

"A particular machine showed BJP winning and now even the EC has accepted that the machine had come from UP," the AAP leader said, adding that as per law these machines cannot be used before April 26.

AAP has also accused the Election Commission of siding with the BJP, and not functioning as an independent body. “EC is not behaving like a neutral body. They are behaving like an ally of the BJP,” AAP spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj had said.













Refuting the allegations, the Election Commission has told the AAP that instead of blaming EVMs, the party should introspect on the reasons for its defeat in Punjab. The Commission said the electronic voting machines (EVMs) are kept in a strong room after results are announced till the 45-day period of filing of election petition by any of the candidates is over.
