The political spectrum for the INDIA coaliton is nutsIt's basically anybody but BJP
basically every left leaning parties around the world are big tent parties. conservatives are way more tribal by default. this is why they prefer and are able to further fracture their opposition because they know anyone left of them are not a monolith.

Any books or articles on this? shyt is fascinating
Nap would have this thread doing numbers... if he just didn't violate his Coli Parole on the same day.
I need @Professor Emeritus take
I honestly haven't been following Indian politics in a while and hadn't followed the election at all. This the first I heard and it's happy news to me. I fully expected Modi's coalition to win this election and they almost certainly will still form the government, but losses of that magnitude are a good sign.
For those who don't know, Modi and the BJP are basically carbon copies of Trump priorities on every level, just replace White Nationalism + Corporate Capitalism with Hindu Nationalism + Corporate Capitalism. And they are much more competent than Trump and have more political control.

What’s crazy is BJP has done better in urban areas but lost lots of ground in rural India
Holy shyt, that was brilliant. I can't believe they allowed him to say all that without just shouting over him. He so incisively and concisely ripped the facade to shreds.
I don't know if I would have expected it, but it doesn't sound outlandish to me. Much of urban India has become cynical and cares about nothing but money. They'll do a deal with any devil so long as they think a job is coming, and the BJP has still positioned itself as the "economics" party, much like Republicans in America, regardless of whether their track record justifies it.
Rural India, however, tends to have a broader set of concerns. BJP tried to fukk over the family farmers and they haven't forgotten that. BJP doesn't give a shyt about environment or villages or tribal rights, they just support giant corporate farmers and mega industrial projects that destroy everything, and rural people care about their old ways of life. Yeah a lot of those rural people have regressive social values that align with the BJP's regressive rhetoric, but they also see the BJP selling out to the highest bidder and that impacts their actual way of living more than some hate speech about Muslims ever will.
Looks like he was doubling down on the racism in this election too. Gonna be fukking crazy to watch Democratic politicians kiss his ass and normalize him after this shyt:

Remember, the main opposition leader was recently sentenced to 2 years in jail for defaming "people who have Modi as a last name", under the SAME law that Modi himself is violating right now. And all he did was list three criminals named Modi and say that it seems the criminals keep having the same last name. So under current hate speech enforcement in India right now, people with Modi as a last name are a protected community you can't insult, but the Muslim community is fair game.

Rahul Gandhi gets 2 years for Modi defamation in India
An Indian court has found opposition leader Rahul Gandhi guilty of defamation over his remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s surname.

He pulled a Trump and blatantly lied, saying he hadn't mentioned Muslims:

Modi responds by saying, "I'm surprised. Who told you that while talking of 'more children' it is a reference to Muslims?" He then goes on to state, "I neither mentioned Muslim, nor Hindu."
But his EXACT words:
"And back when they were running the government, they had said Muslims have the first claim to the country's resources. This means, after collecting people's possessions who are they going to distribute them to? They will distribute them to those who have more kids. They will distribute them to the infiltrators."
This lying sack of shyt is going to instigate another anti-Muslim death riot if he gets enough power.
Modi Claims He Never Said Muslims Were ‘Infiltrators’ or ‘Had More Children’. This is Not True
In a series of speeches starting from Banswara in Rajasthan in April, Modi has openly targeted Muslims and falsely claimed that the Congress intends to snatch reservations from SCs, STs and OBCs and hand them to Muslims. Official party videos have built on this. So why did he try to backtrack?
