JaiRamesh2 Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 And so what about the 80% who rejected Congress! Or 96% Indians who rejected Mayawati, Mamata, Jayalitha, Mulayam, communists?!
Number Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 And so what about the 80% who rejected Congress! Or 96% Indians who rejected Mayawati, Mamata, Jayalitha, Mulayam, communists?! Nehru got rejected by nearly 60% Indians. :giggle:
Texan Posted May 19, 2014 Author Posted May 19, 2014 So now, the "secular-minded" folks are questioning the process of electing representatives that they didn't question for the last 65 years when Congress was mostly in power :hmmm:
hhunaeh Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 just wondering how cultural resetting can be done with 31% of people voting for bjp and with a lot of the 31% having voted for development and jobs and not for anything else.
Texan Posted May 19, 2014 Author Posted May 19, 2014 2+ days later' date=' still can't believe the result.[/quote'] Neither can I
panther Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 31% voted for bjp, 33% didn't vote the rest was a mixed bag, or is it 31% of all who voted?
dial_100 Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 So what was that I was hearing all the time that UP and MAH has screwed up this time with candidate selections? How the $*** such a wrong selection can get you 73 $reaking seats in UP and 40+ in Mah..
Stuge Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 31% voted for bjp' date=' 33% didn't vote the rest was a mixed bag, or is it 31% of all who voted?[/quote'] sadly ,but ..that's how voting happens ..Around 19% of all voted for congress .
Stuge Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 2+ days later' date=' still can't believe the result.[/quote'] I do ..Finally people in India have woken up somehow .They have realized everyone remember them only during elections ,but otherwise they just turn their back against them and do nothing for them .Hence they took a chance of voting BJp to power .
Crookbond Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Folks, you are all suggesting a problem with the "First Past The Post System". FPTP is what we use currently for our elections. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-past-the-post_voting#Criticisms You are also talking in favor of the "Proportional Representational" (PR) system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation

What is your expectation and how is that failing in the new govt/New demands? Don't show me new demands from Bajrang Dal/VHP and any fringe right-wing, there is no evidence from Modi that he is catering to such demands. Else it just plain fear mongering!
FischerTal Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Hopefully Modi announces Bharat Ratna for atal ji as soon as possible.
bulbul Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Hopefully Modi announces Bharat Ratna for atal ji as soon as possible. Yep..we don't have bigger issues than that now :banghead: It can wait one more year..otherwise peopel may say Atal got Bharath ratna because of BJP govt.
FischerTal Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Yep..we don't have bigger issues than that now :banghead: It can wait one more year..otherwise peopel may say Atal got Bharath ratna because of BJP govt. He is 89. Could die anyday. Without him, there would be no BJP today.
bulbul Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 He is 89. Could die anyday. Without him, there would be no BJP today. You dont give award to party service..He will get award for service to country,not to party.
Precambrian Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 He is 89. Could die anyday. Without him, there would be no BJP today. Be a bit generous to the guy please. He is having chronic alzhemeirs and am not sure at this point he'd even be able to appreciate his party won this elections.

Thats what i am thinking when results are coming in , how shoud have he felt to get absolute majority :hatsoff:
Khalpat Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 It's difficult to comprehend politics. Rahul Gandhi was smiling after losing and Modi was crying after winning!
