asterix Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 BJD support would be easy for BJP if they cut back their campaign in Orissa, or forge some sort of seat sharing agreement with Patnaik. I had this view right from the beginning. BJD was always a fence sitter. They even voted for President Kovind. Could've manoeuvred to get BJD in the NDA fold... Instead of creating too many regional opponents, BJP needs to an alliance which can fight against regional UPA parties... Tibarn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Utter humiliation for Nitish, he has been battered left and right since Modi was BJP PM candidate, came out with crass statements, and is now taking shelter under Modi, what a joker From what Modi has shown, he is no Vajpayee, there is no forgiveness, at some point he is going to finish off Nitish's political career...and there goes one genuine hope for the presstitute society Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 2 hours ago, someone said: Wrong. RJD still has its votebank + complete shift of Muslim voters to them. And now Nitish is number 1 leader there. There arent any local BJP leader to match him.... "Votebanks" only get you some base votes. Elections are won or lost based on which party fence-sitters decide to vote for. In situations like these where the 3 party coalition has failed to even complete half its term, fence-sitters are likely to go for BJP. BJP was faced with the same situation in Delhi, where they were overwhelming favorites just after 2014 LS elections. But sloppy work from them to let elections slide for a long time, which caused public sentiment to go against them. As far as leadership is concerned, BJP won UP with an overwhelming majority despite not having a single leadership face in UP. They did not even have a CM candidate. They can repeat the same formula in Bihar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dial_100 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Afterall, Modi is not untouchable anymore. This is a big jolt to the secular brigade. And some are suggesting that BJP shouldnt support Nitish but we are forgetting the imporatnt point here that NK only resigned because NDA promised him unconditional support if he broke away from Mahagathbandhan. NK would not have resigned, had he not had this support. There was a tacit understanding between JDU and BJP. This was brewing for few weeks now. NK was cozying up to NDA for last few weeks. randomGuy and zen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can repeat the same formula in Bihar. You are so wrong. If anything, BJP is not making the same Delhi mistake. It has seized upon the chance and made its move "quick". Next, it's not just the opposition who need alliance, BJP also need alliances if they want to win 2019. So a good decision for now. The biggest concern is still, it's 2 long years for LS elections. Nitish can and may still break-up ties with BJP for whatever decision during this period. That will embarrass and hurt BJP a lot. There needs to be a watchful eye on Nitish and contingent plans ready in case he again quits. Or is BJP just offering outside support? Is JDU getting into NDA & central government? These are two important questions and not that clear currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) #NitishGharWapsi trending I think Nitish compromised on his PM dreams and has joined Modi's NDA. He was from Advani camp of NDA and now Advani has been silenced by Modi. Neatish has been warming up with NDA ever since demonetization which He supported. GST support and prez election brought them more together, while BJP triggered CBI pressure on Lalu. This break of MahaGhatbandhan was bound to happen.

rkt.india Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 एक तरफ तो नीतीश कुमार ने इस्तीफा देकर अपनी साफ़ सुथरी छवि को बचाये रखा, लेकिन दूसरी तरफ BJP के साथ जाकर एक बार फिर अपनी अवसरवादिता का परिचय दिया है. उस BJP के जिसकी सरकार के विरोध में नीतीश ने एक बार पहले भी इस्तीफा दिया था और फिर उन्ही का विरोध करते हुए लालू प्रसाद यादव के साथ मिलकर चुनाव लड़ा था. नीतीश के लिए एक तरफ भ्रष्टाचार की खायी तो दूसरी तरफ धार्मिक उन्माद का कुआँ है. बेहतर होता अगर नीतीश सत्ता से खुद को अलग करके राष्ट्रपति शाषन की सिफारिश करते और नए चुनाव की पैरवी करते जहाँ तीनो बड़ी पार्टियां अलग-अलग चुनाव लड़ती और तब देखा जाता कि कौन कितने पानी में है. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
