I found the talk more like an advise to BJP why it lost. Although he is right about women not voting for BJP. This would be especially so in places like Mangalore where Bajrang Dal does moral policing. Though there is also the "Muslim" equivalent - the SDPI - which is the election-participating wing of PFI.
But the talk had no mention at all of Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra.
They are not Hindutvavadis to begin, their leaders proudly proclaim how its a secular institution with members from various religious backgrounds.
Please explain.
It is well deserved. In other parts of the world people are voting for people of a totally different color/religion etc as long as he/she is the best person for the job and here we have people dumping a party because some people from their shitty subsect were dumped. So a party not only has to worry about finding a candidate of the same religion, language and caste of the populace, but also worry about sects, subsects etc.
Although parties, elections and votes are not democracy but an illusion of democracy you are right about the extremely complicated Indian social system which is not found elsewhere. I find it ridiculous when nationalist Indians crow "In India language and dress change every 100 kilometers". What for ?
Siddaramaiah is so clearly superior to any of the Sanghi leadership that you should be ashamed to bring in caste considerations as a factor, when the Sangh Parivar tried to use it and failed.
Yes, Siddaramaiah is quite a rational and straight-talker quite a few times. He is not only superior to Sanghi leadership but also among the brave ones in the Congress other than Rahul and a few. Where Bhupesh Baghel, the Congressi CM of Chattisgarh had his father jailed because the father said that the Brahmans are foreigners, Siddaramaiah
said that he is a Dravidian and the original inhabitant of India and that the Aryans are originally foreigners but became Indian just like Sonia Gandhi was originally from Italy but married Rajiv and became Indian just like many current Indians go to other countries and become citizens there. Multiple points in one statement. Clever.
BJP has not delivered on the promise in Karnataka, so this was coming. I hope they have taken the message and buck up for the upcoming elections.
What promises ?
This abusive caste attack is simply not acceptable.
Absolutely !
I am still Indian and I can still vote if I am in India. I have voted in all the general elections till far. I am abroad for financial reasons but I still have stake (family) in India. BJP at the center is the reality of India for foreseeable future that no Joe can change.
For the sake of this argument, in talking about principles, it doesn't matter that BJP is the reality of India in the near-future. You tell me, about the point
@RealDeal raised about a few million Indians dying of COVID needlessly, and to extend this I point to many dying of various needless causes during the criminal, system-enforced Reverse Migration of urban daily wage workers - from hunger and thirst to snake bite to getting crushed under trains to dropping off during the walks to getting hit by goods vehicles while even a NATO-aligned country like Kuwait ensured free food for those who couldn't afford while in India the top Capitalists increased their wealth by a trillion rupees - essentially making money by robbing dead or exhausted bodies.
This is just part of the story of the COVID years in India. Even in USA, where you live, the president would have enough shame to resign, not so much Modi jee.
Like I said nobody cares about Joe. Likes of you can cry on PDF. BJP will be in power for foreseeable future taking India to it's glorious destination. Meanwhile Hindus like Rishi, Vivek Ramaswamy will guide the world and Joe can do nothing about it either.
For you it all is Hindu, Hindu, Hindu. Especially the crooks. What is this Rishi fellow ? A wealthy person who didn't have a working class friend and imposed taxes on the struggling but during his PM campaign got done vids of himself going to pubs and watching football with the commoners and doing cringey laughy high-fives with the commoners. A fakester and a crook who embraces Nazis like Zelensky. What is Rishi Rich going to do for Britain ? Abolish money, monarchy, military and the dual parliament that represents an illusion of democracy ?
And who is this Vivek Ramaswamy fellow ? Anyone apart from Bhakts are fervently in Holy Await for him ?
I didn't get the tag, so I doubt the rest did either...in case you later feel they are ignoring on purpose.
Thank you for tagging me. I too didn't get the tag but happened to see this thread last night but decided to reply in the morning as I was sleepy.
I enjoyed his mysore pak riposte to that BJP goon on air a lot
What is this incident ?
A big factor for national elections would be viable opposition candidates. Someone that can rally the opposition to their cause like PM Modi did.
Congress has been unable for the last decade, no other suitable viable exists.
Our choices basically boil down to choosing between the incompetent who hide behind religous bluster or the corrupt who hide behind secularism
About your last paragraph, "incompetent" doesn't fully describe BJP. Secondly, who are these corrupt who hide behind secularism ?

ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಜನ ಭಾಗ್ಯಕ್ಕೋಸ್ಕರ ವೋಟ್ ಹಾಕಿದ್ರು ಇನ್ ಮೇಲೆ ಯಾವ ದೌರ್ಭಾಗ್ಯ ಕಾದಿದೆಯೋ ಕಾದೇ ನೋಡಬೇಕು
What is the point in showing off your Kannada skills on an English forum ?
