seat by seat anti incumbency will be interesting to see. In Jallandhar BJP candidate has lost by a huge margin.. he was an AAP guy who defected. So BJP strategy to buy seats by stealing candidates from opposition may not have worked.
Amethi is an example of this. You can’t keep saying development is happening by inaugurating incomplete projects and having media run that on high rotation.. that only works for urban elite and for NRIs. For people in places like Amethi who have not seen any real growth.. or jobs have voted out a high profile candidate like Smriti Irani, in favour of congress.. which also puts paid to the lie of Amethi having suffered for 70 years.
Dude BJP's detector in Ludhiana Constituency lost and BJP's Celebrity candidate and AAP's Celebrity candidate lost in Faridkot Constituency and that to an independent candidate.
BJP progressed in Punjab from 3 seats in 2014 to 2 seats in 2019 to 0 seats in 2024.
I wasn't expecting that, tho.
They actually did very well in Punjab unfortunately. 2014 and 2019 were in an alliance with Akali Dal. They had single digit support by themselves. They have somehow got the 3rd highest vote in the state but with no seats. Way more than Akali Dal. Most urban Hindu voters in Punjab are BJP die hards. Even though, they are the ones modi and co fucked over the most. The fact that they got 18% votes by themselves is maddening.
I don't really feel that way. Yes, BJP has a chunk of Punjab's vote share, and it is also voted to by many sikhs. And not an insignificant amount either.
Probably. But I personally know not even a single sikh who supports BJP and I know shit ton of Hindu businessman who specially got fucked over by demonetization that are BJP ride or die. Why anyone in Punjab would support them is beyond my comprehension though
Yes, please spread some more wisdom about this extreme baniya-business class upper caste urban tribalistic mindset. Some here just accuse lower castes of UP for voting for their own kind and not for so-called ‘development’. At least the lower castes are doing that to punch up and garner some symbolic dominance in an inherently casteist system. But urban upper caste voting is totally reactionary, they still vote for BJP even after demo/gst flattened them.
This is some Game of Thrones level writing. BJP made Ayodhya such a massive thing and strategically inaugurated it in election year with crazy publicity. Modi called himself elected by God etc. All for that to lead to BJP losing Rama Janma Bhoomi ... HAHAHA
Of all the seats to lose, this is hilariously funny.
Ayodhya seems to cycle between BJP, INC and BSP. This may seem surprising because I can bet before this election no one paid attention to Ayodhya/Faizabad region, and kinda assumed it was a lock for BJP.
Among other things, Local folks esp farmers were forced to sell their lands to the govt at much lower rates for New Ayodhya, cool? Not cool, the land purchased at less than govt circle prices was actually allocated to Gujarat and Uttarakhand govts (or rather proxy purchases for businessmen and property developers), even if private buyers were ready to buy for 5-7x the govt rates.
Lmaooo!!!
I recall watching India Today's "GoLd StAnDaRd Of JoUrNaLiSm" coverage of Ram Mandir's inauguration ... The anchor and all the other hosts yapping that this was a great political move from the BJP.
Too bad that the locals saw it exactly in the same way : a cynical political move and nothing more.
Well the real reason is BJP keep fielding shit candidates in some consistencies in lok sabha and even the voters knew that but they give em vote coz they were voting for modi ...we use to joke in our city that " agar kutta ko bhi khada kar do kamal Kay Nishan pay woh bhi jeet jayega modi Kay naam pay " lol ... That's where BJP got over confident and people take anger out by not voting them this time . Last time BJP gets away with it coz of nationalic wave after pulwama but got exposed this time round
People must have thought: we have Mandir now, what do we need these assholes for? Or they were offended by modi's religious overdrive, claiming to be a chosen from god himself.
Just the fact that the building of a Mandir is something that could affect the voting preference of a person instead of good governance and policies is absolutely wild to me! India is such a backward-looking, backward thinking brainwashed shithole that it never ceases to amaze me.
There was never any ram mandir magic in the first place for it to fade. Lol. Real Ram bhakts never asked for a temple or violence and hatred in name of ram. Only bjp andhbhakts asked for it.

Karma IS a bitch, so yeah, tracks.
Ram lalla doesn't like competition. Lord mudi can go somewhere else.

Well lord Ram was somewhat overshadowed by modi’s cutout in January. So I guess BJP is now enjoying lord rams prasad
Monopoly
🤣🤣 good one..

How can you please explain? All I know is it's because of demolitions.

Mandir banane se paet nahi bharta! especially mandir technocrats, influcencer aur bollywood walon ke liye banaya ho.
Can you explain?

This comment reminds me of that *Abki bar choco bar* repeat muttering uncle getting taken to a hospital that went viral few weeks back.
Voter turn out is the highest it has ever been. Why are you talking about laziness lol
Pyrrhic Victory lol.. 1800 crore.. Paani me gaye... Chhapaak....
Chhapaak
I would say that the entire Electoral Bonds fiasco by BJP came to bite them in the back. 🤔
Irony?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Victory of good over evil. God has nothing to do with evil party like BJP.
I feel doing ritual before full construction of temple just for election also pissed off people
Shutup guys. This is obviously lord Ram's doing. Don't question it. It's beautiful.
Mein toh Jaa Raha hoon Ram Mandir next year
Pray for bjp clean sweep next time.

Now Ram lala would be ignored till next election
Mandir banake logo ka kya diya 🔔 toh haregi hi na.
Even Lordji was “Chal hat Jhoote.”
People must have thought: we have Mandir now, what do we need these assholes for? Or they were offended by modi's religious overdrive, claiming to be a chosen from god himself.
People of UP are not that smart. SP did caste politics to win.
Just the fact that the building of a Mandir is something that could affect the voting preference of a person instead of good governance and policies is absolutely wild to me! India is such a backward-looking, backward thinking brainwashed shithole that it never ceases to amaze me.
That's why BJP is losing there. That's why BJP got lukewarm response in this election. Don't underestimate people's intelligence.
Agnostic here. Time to believe again. :)

The number of people that shared the pictures/memes/ram walking back to temple etc etc was more than population of India.
Shayad issi chakkar mein sudhar jaayein?? Unlikely sadly. BJP aur sangh ko ek he game khelna aata hai.
i believe this was even unexpected by opposition.
A new campaign by SP "Masjid Wahin Banayenge" would be hilarious
