By Polls loss for BJP genuine

By-Polls cannot be great indicator of voter's mood and they are likely to vote party already in power.

The by polls results declared today gave some hope to dying powers like Samajwadi Party and Congress, while rubbing some reality check on BJP

The results of by-polls declared on 16 Sept for which the voting was held on 13 sept. were genuinely disappointing for BJP.

Primarily BJP made effort in UP to retain its seats and while in Rajasthan and Gujarat - it should have grabbed all.

It may not be anything significant in terms of voter's mood yet it reflects the missing charm at the local level.

It seems that transformation of BJP has not happened at the lower levels and the party workers on ground are not in sync with ideas of new central leadership at the moment.

It may just be time for bjp to make some notes now to avoid any major set backs in coming up Maharashtra and Haryana elections

Appeasement Politics and Majority Safety Rights

Indian politics is witnessing shameless appeasement of Muslims by various politics parties. A trend started by congress to stay in power and today being used by likes of Nitish Kumar, Lalu Yadav and Mamta Benerjee.

How appeasement works:
=> Give them money
=> Overlook minor crimes
=> Give them reservation
=> Give them soaps (exclusively)
=> Wear their topi and go to mosque for votes

By doing all the above the political parties has tried to ensure that Hindus feel secluded and unattended completely. Their concerns are now being looked at as 'communal'. Anything to do with Hindus is being labeled as communal by minority appeasing political parties.If for construction of road - a small mosque is broken then it would be communal while if temple would be broken it might not even make news.

Then comes TV debating intellectuals - who are always worried about communal riots. They themselves seems to have overlooked the dangers of appeasement rather it might even be considered secular to appease.

The so called appeasement is now shadowed in name of secularism.
The impact of this would slowly come with majority backlash and it would time up for this appeasement and communal politics. 

Some parties are purely working on governance like BJD in Orissa or AIADMK-Jaya in Tamil Nadu, though there is slight bend to minorities to justify their secular credentials. They are likely to sustain their existence but the parties focusing only on 'secularism shadow - appeasement to survive' might soon would struggle with their existence.

100 days of Modi Sarkar

The new Indian Government marked its 100 days and all media houses started the debates about its analysis.

Most analyst felt the govt led by Mr. Modi is moving in right direction and international diplomatic relations management of Mr. Modi were hailed by all.

My sense is 100 days are too less to look at govt's performance. The govt's performance would become more evident only after 2 years.

Mr. Modi must work on implementation of his govt ideas and new processes must be developed to do away with corruption.
