    I’m a little mad that they have influence in Karnataka and Telangana. The communists need to do their best to retake Dakshin Kannada and Udupi back, like they did in the 1980s. Their reign improved the lives of beedi workers and poor farmers.

      Yeah it’s embarrassing that they lost assembly elections in Karnataka to congress and are still able to comeback.

      MP is understandable. Just like UP they don’t have a strong state identity and their caste and religion takes centerstage.

      MP was congress stronghold until a few years ago when BJP bought some MLAs and installed shivraj singh chauhan

      Since then they are running hate campaigns continuously. So MP has become the new UP. It’s not surprising they got every MP seat.

      UP people have become wiser. Bihar, MP and Rajasthan have gone backwards.

      What I am afraid of is if they are able turn MP into Gujarat, then they may not need UP anymore. The signs of this are visible in what they tried to do with Indore seat.

      The trend shows Hindutva bandwagon shifting south.

      Gujarat is BJP monopoly. Legislature, executive, judiciary, media, law enforcement, education, businesses, they control everything and nobody wants another Gujarat.

        So those who doesn’t vote for INDI alliance has gone backwards and thise who voted for Congress are wiser.

        How old are you?

        You realise that people of UP still voted for Muslim and Yadav appeasement.

          People who voted BJP in the cow belt are also voting for high caste appeasement.

          Building temples is not going to fix unemployment; inflation; corruption; rape culture.

          Ergo it’s just appeasement. No real benifit. Like giving candy to a baby knowing their teeth will rot.

          But most people voted for major issues this time like poverty, unemployment and inflation which affect the poor and middle classes

            and what was in Congress manifesto that tells you, they’re going to fix that?! Nothing. They only wanted to give they didn’t shared a single visionary plan.

            Only reason INDI got more seat is people grow out of same government. If Modi does fear mongering then so does Congress. There is no difference between them.

      They opened their account in Kerala, Thrissur

      Sort-of surprising to see them lose seats in the North and gain seats in Kerala.
