Why? Middle class dont got to vote, and are extremely moody. BJP vote this election by OBC votes and thats the stategy for 2019

FischerTal Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Just now, someone said: Why? Middle class dont got to vote, and are extremely moody. BJP vote this election by OBC votes and thats the stategy for 2019 all the urban centers gave a clean sweep for BJP. not possible without middle class support

Although I am sure they have won their share of close seats in other states as well) to lose a lot of close seats. So this is one are where Amit Shah's team can make major improvements in by just better election management with out any policy improvements, poll promises or sops from the Namo and govt.

adi B Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Happy that the vote percentage has increased but would have been delighted had it been 110+.bjp would feel a bit unlucky and dejected
chewy Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 With all the talk of % that’s two more losses for Pappu and Congress
Oldhere Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Congress has gone beyond all expectations that too in BJP's bastion. I just hope Pappu stays far from people like Diggy raja and surely they can come out as good opposition in 2019.
Shunya Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Hate the caste politics that was played. It was never considered prominent since last 20 years. So many fringe groups trying to gain prominence and grab the power. As a Gujarati, I have mixed feeling about this win by BJP. Wanted more, but in the end it should make BJP introspect more and keep them on their toes. This was always going to happen once Modi moved on. He had that aura since years now that others are not able to live upto. They need to find similar leaders to fill the power vacuum, cannot live on Modi hype forever. Let them churn and find leaders who will stand out in next 5 years. Having said that, come 2019 loksabha elections, Gujarat will vote for Modi no doubt about that. Still has amazing emotional connect with everyone. Edited December 18, 2017 by Shunya
coffee_rules Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 MSM is frothing in the mouth about a decisive victory for HAJ and emerging leader in Raga.
surajmal Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Hardik Patel's Chutiyapa worked. Question is, is the loss of patel vote reversible? If it is, BJP should be fine in Guj next time (since they seem to be gaining tribal vote - and this is a long term trend), else...
chapetmarunga Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 Congress did well. BJP need to do something for the farmers too.
chapetmarunga Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) I expect caste politics from Congis again in Kar & MH too. BJP will have a hard time countering those narratives. Edited December 18, 2017 by chapetmarunga
surajmal Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 BJP is in the govt (centre + 19 states now). So they have at their disposal, countless numbers of tools to swing votes their way. If Namo bitches about anti incumbency in 2019... well, it will say more about his incompetency and we will know that he's isnt the hindu hriday samrat he claims to be AND we should bring someone else to carry the hindutva flag.
chewy Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 So GST and Demonotization boogie had no impact on BJP in Gujarat, one of the state most likely effected velu and adi B 2

mishra Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 My honest assessment was that , BJP may loose Gujrat and tough fight in Himanchal and may loose there too. All down to GST and them Baba Ram Rahim and every other day media witch hunt against BJP. Well done to the people of the two states

ravishingravi Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 22 years of incumbency. GST and demo. Patidar agitation. It really is amazing Congress is happy with competing. velu, Yoda-esque, adi B and 1 other 1 3
ravishingravi Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 BJP got a much needed jolt. They need to feel vulnerable and Indians will ensure that happens. Tough elections next year. Rajasthan. MP. Tough to hold them. Winning back Karnataka.
