Cryptic Takeaways after Phases 1 & 2 of Polling

Key Cryptic Takeaways from the Election Campaign so far;
  • Narendra Modi stands head and shoulder above all the leaders, and is leading a Presidential type Campaign this time too, but with a difference. He has solid achievements to back him, and this is being appreciated by people across the country.
  • The much hyped Opposition 'Mahaghatbandhan' is in shambles. The leaders have been exposed as dynastic with their interest limited to pushing their sons, nephews, grandsons, wives apart from minting money from prospective candidates
  • The Opposition has not been able to show a road map for India's development, and has the limited agenda of Modi bashing to seek votes. Voters don't see the benefit of voting for them
  • Bengal under Mamata Bannerjee has slipped to a complete lawless State with hooliganism, whimsical fascist decision making by Mamata, and Election Commission has turned a blind eye to the lack of free and fair polling in the State. Any future election should be conducted, only after dismissing the incumbent Government with the State under Presidents rule. Even election this time should be countermanded.
  • Arvind Kejriwal has been exposed for the charlatan that he is. The anti corruption crusader begging corrupt Congress to ally with him, has destroyed his image once and for all. Refreshingly, there is hardly a soundbite from him, and gone are the days when he hogged the media, who projected him as an alternative to BJP. He is reduced to be a non entity now.
  • As expected, Priyanka Vadra is a damp squib, despite Media hyping her as the next great thing. She will fade into oblivion post elections.
  • Rahul Gandhi continues to flaunt his idiocy, but worryingly he is showing psychopathic tendencies, and a high level of immaturity. He cant go around calling everyone 'Thief' without an iota of evidence. 
  • The Main Stream Media has become irrelevant, exposed for the charlatans they are. They are anti-hindu, anti-bjp, anti-Modi and even anti-National. They have lost all sense of balance. Every single lie propounded by them has been shot down within hours by the Social Media Warriors, who are seen to be more credible. At least the Social Media Warriors dont hide their bias, political inclination and try to fool the people. 
  • The South, except Karnataka, has become a cesspool of minoritysm. Kerala, Tamil Nadu, AP and Telengana has been taken over by Christians and Muslims. It is disheartening to see the youngsters being blatantly anti-Modi. I have no issues with people having different political leanings. The issue is when blind hatred for one man clouds their judgment totally. I am afraid these States will be neglected over a period of time. Already all of them have severe financial and governance issues, and cant survive without support from Central Government. It is almost like cutting the branch one is sitting on.
  • The Election Commission has become stupidity personified. Their taking up irrelevant issues and banning leaders, prompted by the opaque Supreme Court, is undermining their credibility. Added to this is them not taking cognizance of the blatant malpractices and violence unleashed by Trinamul Goons in West Bengal, which has made free and fair poll impossible. The whole idea of phasing out the polls across 40 days is to ensure free and fair poll. If that is not possible, we can as well have a single day polling across the country. Same is the case with Tamil Nadu, where money was distributed widely,  especially in Sivaganga Constituency. But EC, who were quick to take action against Private Citizen for asking to vote for Modi in his Wedding Invitation, has not lifted a finger against Karti Chidambaram and his rowdies. The Kerala EC has become a laughing stock for asking Parties not to rake up the Sabarimala issue.  Once hopes Modi and Shah takes EC and SC head on and show them their place in their Second Term.
At end of Phase 2 of Polling, Modi is well on his way to Winning Again by a bigger margin!
