How Manipur strife cost BJP & allies dearly in Christian-majority northeastern states

“Stay as a political party, and leave the church to run whatever they see fit within their compounds,” the NBCC told the Nagaland BJP in a letter on 30 April.“However, if something needs to be remembered, we may ask the BJP leadership to mobilise party members to travel to locations to safeguard persecuted churches in the mainland. This act will undoubtedly give reassurance to people whose churches and institutions are constantly targeted,” the letter further said.Speaking to ThePrint, a leader of the Nagaland BJP, who shared the letter, said the NBCC was not the only Christian body to snub the BJP. From the Nagaland Christian Revival Church Council (NCRCC) to the Catholic Association of Nagaland (CAN), many key church bodies followed suit over the next few days. “The pushback against our ...

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi should become more accommodative, former Himachal Pradesh chief minister and veteran BJP leader Shanta Kumar has advised, a month after the Lok Sabha poll results humbled the party as it won fewer seats than in 2019 and what was predicted.In an interview to ThePrint Wednesday, Kumar, one of the founding members of the BJP, said the “2024 mandate has broken the arrogance of BJP leaders after the party in power at the Centre took many uncalled-for decisions over 10 years and with a brute majority”. “Now, PM Modi should make changes according to the mandate and become more accommodative,” Kumar asserted, while lauding the BJP and Modi government for winning a third straight term.

BJP-Jat ties fraying at both ends. Dwindling electoral support, just 2 junior ministers in Modi 3.0

It was the same in the second Modi cabinet in 2019, with two ministers of state were from the Jat community – Balyan and Kailash Chaudhary (from Rajasthan). The first Modi cabinet of 2014 had Chaudhary Birender Singh (from Haryana) as a cabinet minister, and Sanwar Lal Jat (from Rajasthan) and Sanjeev Balyan (from UP) as ministers of state.In contrast, Vajpayee’s cabinet from 1999 to 2004 had RLD’s the Ajit Singh and the BJP’s Sahib Singh Verma as ministers and Vasundhara Raje Scindia (married into a Jat family) as a minister of state. RLD leader Sompal Singh Shastri was also part of the council of ministers in 1998.Back in October 1999, the Vajpayee government had also included the Jats in the list of OBCs for reservation in central services. Political analysts and Jat leaders have cited ...

‘Infighting, public anger, Lallu Singh’s slip of tongue’ — what led to BJP’s poll debacle in UP

A day after Tuesday’s election results, several voices from Ayodhya, including those from within the BJP, have emerged against the sitting BJP candidate from Faizabad, Lallu Singh, alleging that his remarks about the BJP needing a two-thirds majority in Parliament to “make a new Constitution” cost the party dearly. Some Ayodhya-based politicians have, however, blamed the public’s resentment towards the party over “little compensation” awarded to those who lost their land in development and road widening projects, and movement and traffic-related restrictions imposed on the residents in the wake of the Ram temple’s construction.Speaking to ThePrint, Shiv Sena’s east UP head and president of the Hindu Dharma Sena, Santosh Dubey, said the BJP lost Ayodhya because of several reasons, including...

BJP won 95 of 132 seats where it dropped sitting MPs, lost 1 in 3 seats where it repeated incumbents

New Delhi: Of the 132 Lok Sabha seats where the BJP dropped its sitting MPs, the party has won 95, vindicating the leadership’s decision to some extent. On the other hand, in the 168 seats where incumbents were fielded again, the party emerged victorious in 111.In other words, the party won 72 percent of the seats where the MPs were replaced, and 66 percent where the incumbents were fielded again. This indicates that replacing the candidate did help the BJP in curbing anti-incumbency, but only marginally. Overall, the BJP ended up losing one in every three seats it previously held. The picture was a bit different for the party in 2019. Five years ago, the BJP had won 91.26 percent of the seats where incumbents were replaced, and 90.80 percent where the candidates were repeated. ...

Victory margins narrow in Delhi; AAP vote share up in Punjab: Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak

Sandeep Pathak. File | Photo Credit: The Hindu The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on June 5 said the victory margins were narrow in Delhi this time even though the city preferred to elect the BJP in general election as it has been doing since 2014.Addressing a press conference, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak said, "The INDIA bloc performed quite well despite the circumstances against them.

They stuck to that pattern this time also." Asserting that for them, the country is above the party, Mr. Pathak said the people of the country have made it clear that they will not tolerate any kind of dictatorship and hooliganism."On th...

0 Lok Sabha seats, dipping vote share, no second-rung leadership — BSP faces existential crisis

New Delhi: Throughout the long-drawn Lok Sabha election, a question that rattled all political observers was what Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati’s game plan really is — is it to benefit the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), eat into both the BJP and the Samajwadi Party’s (SP) votes or actually fight for its own survival?With the party having failed to even open its account — as opposed to the previous Lok Sabha elections when the BSP secured 10 seats in Uttar Pradesh in alliance with the SP — the question rings out louder than before. Is the BSP going to survive? According to trends from the Election Commission as votes were counted for the Lok Sabha polls Tuesday, the BSP’s vote share has slipped to a single digit figure — 9 percent — in Uttar Pradesh. It has failed to win even in...

Youth voted more for INDIA bloc than older people, farmers preferred NDA — Axis My India exit poll

New Delhi: The National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA) vote share increases with age group, whereas the opposition INDIA bloc’s vote share surges as the voter gets younger. The NDA is more popular among the highly educated. Further, the INDIA bloc has closed the gap in popularity with the NDA among the unemployed and students, but the latter still commands higher support in these two categories.These are some of the findings of the Axis My India exit poll survey released Sunday, which has predicted a sweep for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with the NDA possibly touching the 400-seat mark. Axis My India has predicted a vote share of 47 percent for the NDA and 39 percent for the INDIA bloc. The opposition bloc also includes the Trinamool Congress and J&K PDP, which were not part of the ...
