Narendra Modi loses key state election as Covid grips India

[Mad Scientist 2.0]

Women have a LOT more freedom in West Bengal than in Hindi belt...you would see women renting houses on their own inn Bengal..things like that are unthinkable in the Hindi belt...there are tens of thousands of young women from the North East and Nepal who live on their own as roommates in Kolkata..this sort of thing is completely unthinkable in the Hindi belt....Bengalis (even Hindus) were apprehensive that Hindi belt style of religious fundamentalism and misogyny will enter Bengal with the triumph of BJP..............Also slow enforcement of vegetarianism or slow stigmatization of non-vegetarianism is also many Bengali's minds ................and one more thing the way BJP stalwarts like Yogi Adityanath frame their pro-women ideology is very very unsavoury..They say we should see the dignity of our mothers ,sisters, daughters is protected.....this sort of language may elicit consternation in many quarters in Bengal....A woman doesnot need to be someone's mother, daughter or sister to be worthy of her rights and protection from the State...


Also Muslim posters from other parts of India fail to recognize Hindu-Muslim relations in Bengal ....A Muslim in Bengal is Bengali first and then a Muslim in the eyes of the Hindu majority...

There is a huge overlap in culture between Bengali Muslims and Hindus for primarily two reasons...Muslims in Bengal use Bengali language and script and Muslim women in Bengal also wear saree...



Muslims in other states of India set themselves apart by using Perso-Arabic script of Urdu....This makes them look like someone with different ethnicity rather than someone with different religion



One thing I must add that BJP has managed to resist from bringing in Hindi belt culture in Assam even after dominating the state...Gender relations are also much better in Assam than in Hindi Belt...on par or perhaps even better than Bengal


BJP tried to boost its image in Bengal by roping in glamorous female fashion designers as their electoral candidates...this has payed off



Durga Puja has been till now largely a Bengali ethnic festival....BJP has tried to play up the religious aspect of Durga Puja this time around

It used to be like that as far as I know but things are changing fast . Now a days many women do not wear sarees rather they prefer salwar kameez and in few instances burqa and hizab is also getting quite popular. As well as though muslims used to celebrate pujas now a days many are refraining from it due to widespread availability of lectures by muslims clerics and as a result they are craving out a separate identity base which is not based upon hindu culture like what you can see in Bangladesh where they crave out a distinct identity without mixing into hindu culture .

When votes are counted for 19 of the total 30 Assembly seats in the Union Territory, NDA has won 11 (AINRC 8 and BJP 3), DMK 2 and Congress 2 . While DMK is leading in 1, Independents are leading in 3 seats. NDA needs five more seats to get a absolute majority to form the next government in the Union Territory.

In a setback for BJP in Puducherry, party president V. Saminathan lost to Congress candidate M. Vaidianathan by a margin of 5701 votes from Lawspet constituency


So the BJP got beaten?

BJP isn't the main political party in Puducherry. They never were. BJP alliance won in Puducherry. Congress is totally decimated in all 5 States and Union Territories. In short, there is no party in India which can reach even half of BJP tally i.e. complete domination.

The places where you don't see Saffron color even half of the non-saffron color Constituencies are BJP well wisher (Not against BJP govt.)

Hardly a setback

In WB: his party went from 3 seats to 80 seats. If it hadn't been for the bad press received due to Corona virus. BJP would have won in WB.

Yes you stopped BJP congrats. But the society in India is being transformed to the direction BJP wants. That is the worrying trend

India is world's largest democracy, people themselves decide who is going to be their Prime minister or Chief minister. No political party or person can decide that for the people of India.

Looool come on please stop the jokes. This is a serious matter.

Modi, modi, modi

You are missing the point BJP did won 18 loksabha seat in West Bengal and has lead over 121 parliamentary constituencies at 2019. this time to 75. If Suvendu had not joined the count could have as low as 60.

All went on campaign, PM was there for 19 times, Amit Shah around 30. They ignored the calamity happening in the country to campaign to be in power one of the states in India. They have done gross mismanagement in all sphere including Covid and the financials of our land.

Apparently 30 sanghis have been slaughtered in West Bengal over the last 24 hours

Looks like Mamta is taking out the bakht trash
