chewy Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Tamil Nadu and West Bengal are foregone conclusions,
chewy Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 55 minutes ago, diga said: ^ and what are those conclusions? wB - TMC TN - AIADMK there is no battle for opposition even, even that is forgone conclusion in both states. only uncertainties are Assam and Kerela. Hopefully Communists don't come to power in Kerela, CPI needs to be kicked out of India, their idealoogy is too dangerous in the modern world.

One positive from TN which ever party rules in TN, they usually not hostile to central gov, because Cong & BJP are non-entity in TN in WB: Mamata is hopeless, even if Saura Ganguly was PM she would be hostile to central gov lol in kerala, who ever wins (Cong or CPI), will always be hostile to current central gov Can some one explain how does Cong - Communists alliance in WB and Cong v Communists in Kerela work? adi B 1
Texan Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 85% voting looks ridiculously high for Assam. I wonder how many of those were "illegals".
chewy Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 Mamata's goons running freely at poll stations, and Mamata herself threatening the Election Commision. These month long, two phase, three phase elections should stop, get it done in one day with full military security and announce results next day the longer it takes more chances of rigging adi B 1
bulbul Posted April 17, 2016 Author Posted April 17, 2016 80% vote in WB phase 2 Hope it doesn't cross 100 in some phase adi B 1
Malcolm Merlyn Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 80% in Bengal is good.If it goes close to 85% then its rigged.
chewy Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 WB already rigged, Election Commission is a toothless entity, they get bullied during all elections.
chewy Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 also, looks like Patel quota agitation has re-appeared again in Guj, will be interesting elections there in 2017 from media point of view
Malcolm Merlyn Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 WB already rigged, Election Commission is a toothless entity, they get bullied during all elections. Untrue. But Bengal is the toughest place for EC and they are trying their best.
