Why Did Modi's Party Lose In The Ram Mandir Constituency Of Faizabad?

Maybe people wanted to give a clear message that they don't want more temples. I found this and Modi's win in Varanasi by much lower numbers than in the past quite interesting. Hopefully, a sign that democracy will survive in Inida.

 

Caste politics and promise of free money trumps mandirs or hospitals or educational institutions every time. That is what happened in UP. Democracy is just fine in India, thriving in fact, contrary to what the Western and Liberal media is projecting.

EVMs magically started working without fault for the Congress and INDIA alliance apparently!

 

Promising money, peddling lies that modi will remove reservations of dalits
Caste politics is what made opposition get some votes. Still they lost

 

The following view I received on 3rd June - on eve of counting of votes . This is not focused on inglorious defeat of BJP candidate in Ayodhya Faziabad:

The counting of votes for the ongoing Lok Sabha elections will be completed tomorrow and the election results will be announced tomorrow. But two days ago it was widely known that the Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance would win this election by a landslide and the 'Indy' alliance of opposition parties would lose. The reason is that exit polls predicted and announced these results.


Are these predictions the result of the election expected by many political observers? Yes.

All the opposition leaders – Rahul Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee, Akhilesh Yadav, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Sarath Pawar, Uddhav Thackeray, M.K. Stalin, Arvind Kejriwal and the leaders of the two Communist parties – is this the expected election result? Yes, this is it.
All the opposition leaders – Rahul Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee, Akhilesh Yadav, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Sarath Pawar, Uddhav Thackeray, M.K. Stalin, Arvind Kejriwal and the leaders of the two Communist parties – is this the expected election result? Yes, this is it.
The opposition leaders are not fools who cannot predict that the National Democratic Alliance will now win and form the government for the third time at the centre. Their electoral defeat was their own guess. But they don't have the honesty and democratic maturity to accept PM Modi's pride, their failure, people's decision
Six and seven polling agencies conducted exit polls in this Lok Sabha election and all of them predicted a landslide victory for the NDA, with an average of around 360 seats, while the opposition's Indy Alliance would win around 149 seats. Election results may be slightly less. But those results do not mean that the Indy alliance will win and form the government.

Before the election results were announced, Rahul Gandhi rejected the poll saying, “It is a poll by Modi media. "Indy alliance will win in 295 seats," he challenged

Earlier, Congress president Kharge had also said that "according to exit polls revealed by the people, the Indy alliance will win at least 295 seats". Congress' Jairam Ramesh and Salman Khurshid also said the same. Samajwadi leader Akhilesh Yadav also spoke holding 295.
Indy Alliance 295 M. B. Why did these opposition party leaders lie so blatantly that they would win seats and form the government? Probably, they are preparing themselves to tell yet another big lie once the election results are officially out, that's all. Arvind Kejriwal, one of them, has now told what that big lie is.

Kejriwal said: “Exit polls are all fake. Why should they do this three days before the counting of votes? One explanation for this: they are trying to tamper with electronic voting machines.”

In any case, it is necessary in a democracy that all parties accept the people's decision after it is known in the vote register. It would be better if the opposition parties said that the new government should be formed and the country should progress. Our opposition parties do not have such high democratic quality.

Even if it doesn't, at least, “Whatever the exit polls say, we're going to see in three days what the results are. "Then we will give our opinion," said the leaders of the opposition parties. But there is no respect in the political world of opposition parties. Everything is small.
Because we use machines, the goodwill that India gets in a democratic world does not matter. What we need is that Modi should not become the Prime Minister, BJP should not be a big power.'

If Modi is the main leader of BJP and that too if he is the Prime Minister, we could not perform as we wanted. What if you ask for something? We cannot suffer more and more. In this, the court cases are getting different and new. Can't bear everything. Which judgment will come against whom and when? So let's all the opposition party leaders come together and oppose anything that could lead to Modi's victory as they see fit, and we will speak anything but cannabina talk to bring him down. Shameful thoughts will not help us.'
Keeping away. We will get this benefit for the next five years. This is the biggest service Modi has done for India. Does the country need Modi's service for many more years?

deleting my comment. do not want to escalate. sorry i do not like comment on hindu values.

 

yeah john oliver will comment anything.

how about looking at usa. which is like a 3rd world country.

i am not a modi fan or anything. but i have lived in usa long enough to see to compare. and also understand how extremely funding is going against INDIA's development. and still it is moving ahead

for all sakes, i consider myself american and feel sad where literally progress is happening at snail pace.

 

John Oliver is a Hinduphobe.

 

Could you elaborate on what you mean by "funding is going against India's development"?

 

Why is building a temple waste of resource? My small village near Tirupathi in which hardly 300 people stay has 5 mosques. 5. While that is fine and not looked down upon, but a Hindu temple which is being built after a very long time, which is a belief of a larger section of people in India is being criticized. Well, this is not secular rather SICKULAR!!

Its only the Hindus who dont like mixing religion with politics. Only the Hindus who talk about secularism and how democracy should win. Wanting and wishing that every other person gets the same treatment.

Unfortunately if only the other communities followed the same.

Why the muslims would love none other than their own people coming to power and impose their rule in every place they stay. Forget about India, lets look at UK and Europe which is currently being Islamized. Muslims dont mix religion and politics. Their religion becomes the policy wherever they live.

You talk about Christianity which uses funds and donations from all over the world to convert people to their religion. The AP and TN are great examples of what Christian minority does to people.

I recently watched a video of Poland minister declaring to the world that they are a Christian country and they dont want to change that status so they dont take muslim refugees.

However, the only HINDU majority nation (forget about declaring India as a Hindu nation) in the world is not allowed to build a RAM temple, or have an ISHA foundation to celebrate the culture. Coz its waste of money. Its waste of resources. Forget about the jobs that come, the mental peace people get when they pray/ meditate/ do what they want to do or a belief that they hold!

When people see the big churches, they claim oh look, the christians are very welcoming, if you are trouble or need a place to calm yourself, they have a place to go, they are taken care by the chruch. If you are in trouble or if you need to eat a meal for free, the church has your back. The church takes care of you when you reach out to them. But they dont just do that. They preach about Christianity and their values to people who go there.

But when a Hindu foundation is built on a smaller scale, trying to feed people, trying to celebrate the culture in the process of helping people, then oh god! how dare they?

Well, when the westerners have what they have, its a beautiful history and culture of theirs to celebrate.

Unfortunately, Indians don't have that option, you see, because of the 'SECULARS' of the country don't want that. The seculars are proud to proclaim themselves as being seculars and would claim to treat everyone the same. Ofcourse, since they move in elite circles, money trumps everything else in their circles. I wish they for once, open their eyes and ears and reach out to people at the lower rungs of the society and see how the religion rules politics every where.

HAHA...is this a joke? Minorities threatened in India? Well...its the majority who feels threatened. A minority can clearly rub his/ her minority status through his name/ his way of talking or simply by saying their religious greeting. While a Hindu cant say Jai Shree Ram coz it is considered a Hindu chauvinist slogan!!

Why yesterday, i saw a video of a lawyer, a woman lawyer trying to explain how a particular marital case went and how they resolved it. Instead of concentrating on the content, the viewers (most of them) were commenting on how her slang was referring to the Brahminical community and that she should make a conscious effort to avoid it.

Give me a break ya! I am a HINDU BRAHMIN GOD-LOVING WOMAN and i loved to see the RAM MANDIR built in Ayodhya, love to watch SHIVRATHRI being celebrated on a large scale in an ISHA FOUNDATION.

I, as a citizen of India have the right to practice my religion and I shouldn't be apologizing for it.
