So, what ‪‎BJP‬ should learn from ‪Assam‬ and ‪‎Bihar‬ Assembly Elections Results ?

So BJP is leading Assam and rising for a historical win in North East for the first in history after Independence. But how Assam assembly was different from Bihar assembly polls. 

Here are few conclusions from Assam and Bihar, which BJP should definitely realise if thet are struggling for State Politics or dreaming to get majority in Rajya Sabha :

1. A good face of State Leadership.

2. Narendra Modi is a national figure.

3. Narendra Modi is a polarizing factor, attracts crowd.

4. All crowd of Modi is not voter.

5. Identify the key issue of states.

6. Separate study teams should declare for southern states.

7. Amit Shah and Modi should understand, national politics is away from State Politics.

8. Too much visits of National, Cabinet and Ministers wont effect voters, finally its state leadership and goodwill works of party and reliable state leadership.

9. Rigorous working in state 24x7 and your attachment from voters, will only effect voters in State.

This is irony or joke to say, how BJP gained in Assam. Assam is widely suffered by Bangaldesis, that Sonowal converted into election theme of BJP. Same way BJP failed to impress Biharis because entire compaign was moving all around Modi. Modi was the image on which party was expected to sail his boat. But people of Bihar were knowing well that, Modi can not be his CM. Second entire politics was leaded by national leaders, out of that many of them were from outside Bihar. Rivals of BJP targeted the same things, which BJP was legging in Bihar.

In Assam, situation was totally different, Sonowal was tested candidate of Assam, who made core issue of Assam as election theme. Same experiments were tested during Lok Sabha polls, were half of the seat were crushed by BJP and main figure was Sonowal.There are lots of things for BJP to learn from Bihar and Assam. Modi is national figure. He may become PM 10 times but BJP must understand that state politics is away from National politics. Feelings of statesmen attached during such polls. They want to elect their own local people, who will always traceable for him.One more big reason of Bihar was youth. Youths were totally ignored in that election. After Lok Sabha Modi has not given any sound message to youths about their employment and about their addition for country, lots of youths were expecting their role in party, activities but all sudden fails. 

Social Media users are also embarrassed by Modi and BJP, Modi even not asked a cup of thanks, what users were expected. No one can ignore, Social media users were key voters of Modi and them changed entire national politics by their strong zeal. Still lots of youths are emotionally attached with Modi, but emotions will not feed stomach and add in employment. Sound income youths are still embracing Modi, but middle class and lower-middle youths are totally embarrassed by Modi and BJP.

Realizing these facts BJP and Amit Shah is holding one Social Media meet in Delhi on 22nd May this month, let us see, how much they are adding values for party and how far Modi and Amit Shah are successful to re-energize the youths in their campaigns and state missions.

Return of BJP Monk : Murali Sharma in Odisha

Social Media has become a vital platform to express our views and after arrival of Modiji Govt in 2014, now SM has become a revolution among youths and all class people.

Murali Sharma meeting with Rajnath Singh

                               This is a story of a BJP monk, Social Worker, true nationalist and a social media warrior. But the story does not begin here, it is somewhere near 2013 Sep, when Lok Sabha fight was very crucial and sometimes bilateral and sometimes trilateral angle of fight made the fight very interesting. The stake of BJP and Modiji was on bet.

                                 Meanwhile there were lots of chaos in Odisha BJP in 2013. Modi tsunami was expected to blow Odisha, experts were claiming for new equations. Unfortunately things were not moving on track, a BJP leader of 2 decades, had a RSS family background and himself member of RSS, sidelined and dumped by State Leadership assigning a miserable reason of Indiscipline/anti party activities that even the leader himself did not notice in himself.

A Story in UT MIRROR of Murali Sharma during suspension in 2013

                                   Let us go in flashback of 1990s. Fall of VP Singh Govt, withdrawal of support by BJP, rise of a new student leader in Barbil.

He explained the logic of Economic Blockade of Kheojhar due to lack of minimum basic facility like Pessenger Train, NH etc. Demonstration against Black marketing of fertilizers and Gherao of corrupt Babus are also few activities by which Sharma attracted the attention of entire Odisha towards Kheojhar.

                                                   Mining Scam and plight of River Baitarani are two major updates of Odisha. Sharma brought Mining Scam in public domain, busted it via a huge rally in Kheojhar town. He fought against MNCs to stop use of Holi River Baitarani for commercial interests. He also highlighted the pity conditions of farmers of Kheonjhar. Sharma is termed as Baitarni Putra by local villagers. Apart from this Sharma is also great Art lover & columnist. He has promoted Odisha’s ancient martial heritage of Paika Warriors for many years.

                                           Now flash back over, real movie starts from here. Sharma served suspension from BJP in Sep 2013 for anti-parties activities, in between tussle of Lok Sabha Polls 2014. Angry BJP workers and Sharma fans demonstrated in front of State Party Office and all over Kheonjhar. In Press release Sharma termed allegations as baseless and explained his status, in which he clearly mentioned that there was no such anti-party activity was going on that, we were occasional friends sitting at my Bbsr residence, discussing about ULB Polls miserable performance of party – a kind of private chit –chat. Suddenly media persons came and asked for a bite, reasons behind this meeting. Sharma told to reporters that this is just a common gathering, no party motives. Asking for a bite – Sharma told that we are working to strengthen party and our focus is General elections.

Murali Sharma on Leaderboard of Run for Unity

                                           Murali Sharma was very active in Social Media that time, he was somewhat shocked, anxious about his future course. He made SM as a tool to connect with people of all over Odisha and India. He started sharing various activities of BJP and Modiji.

                        On call of Modiji – Run for Unity, Sharma aggressively campaigned for it on ground as well as SM. An Event post of Facebook by Murali Sharma surprisingly attracted 7500+ participants in Bhubneshwar for Run for Unity program. This program was quite successful, added Sharma as Rank-4 in All India Ranking Leaderboard of Run for Unity.

                                   Sharma was not confined to SM only, since there was no official role in BJP, he started acting as a mentor for several teams. On demand of several Modi fannisters, he formed a team – Modi Sena and decided to add values for General Elections. He never limited his participation in political affairs only. Modi Sena was hit among youngsters in Odisha, especially during Modi’s Vijay Sankalp Samavesh, Bhubneshwar in Feb 2014 during LS2014. Thousands of Modi Sena volunteers gathered at rally ground with banners of Modi Sena to make that event successful.

                                            Bharat Raksha Manch, BRM and Hindu Jangruti Samiti are two other profiles of Murali Sharma. Sharma is acting as National Convenor of BRM and active volunteer of Hindu Jangruti. From Bangladesi infiltrators to other National Security matters are several time highlighted by Sharma in several occasions and several platforms. Through BRM, he is awarding the families of Army personnel’s, who lost their life for our country. Through Hindu Janjagruti, he is spreading the message of Sanatam dharm to all over India.

Sharma meeting with Rajnath Singh along with Tirtha Shankar

                              Recently BRM, Bharat Raksha Manch has highlighted the issue of Cow Saver guy of koraput Tirtha Shankar Sahu, who allegedly harassed by Odisha police on false allegations. Sharma met with Home Minister of India along with Sahu and asked for justice for him.

                                   Really this BJP Monk has surprised many of us by his various social and political contributions towards BJP and people of Odisha. Still he is working day and night to serve BJP and humanity, apart from this that he was not in party. Answering to one question regarding his works, apart from Suspension, he replied Atal ji lines as – Kya haar me, Kya jeet me...... ho kuch per, haar nahi manunga.

Murali Sharma on joining BJP again

                                       Finally BJP has returned this Monk, after seeing his rigorous activities day and night for society, party, RSS, Modiji and humanity. There is a great joy among Murali Sharma’s supporters. Thousands of party workers collected at party office, along with Sharma, while meeting to BJP State supremo. Social Media activists are also very motivated and energized by this action and hopeful for bright future of BJP in Odisha. We are also giving our best wishes to BJP and Murali Sharma for this new Avatar in Odisha.  

Parliament Logjam on National Herald Case - A Political Vendetta or Frictional Politics

Vendetta, an English word, now politically recognized. Cambridge Dictionary define as – A long and violent argument between people or families in which, one group tries to harm the other in order to punish them for things that happened in the past. Looking to the meaning of Vendetta, from no angle it seems like a political but it is in use in Indian Society by top brass leaders of India, describing their positions. Some are recognizing himself as victim – innocent, alleging to other brands for misappropriate uses of such.

November 27 2015, Suddenly social media started smiling, when they heard about a distinguish Chai session, Chai- Pe-Charch, very extraordinary word – Chai, I guess- it was  biggest nightmare of UPA during Lok sabha polls. People were astonished but considered as mood of nation. Astonished, why because, PM Modi had invited Madam Sonia along with Ex-PM Dr Manmohan Singh for bilateral dialogues and to find a mid way over GST.

GST Bill was introduced during UPA regime in 2013 but after oppose of few states rolled back. NDA efficiently suggested many changes and re-introduced this year with an addition of four components as per oppose of States. Petrol and Liquor are kept out from the list. Entry tax also excluded. A bonus benefit is suggested as 1% tax levy for maximum of 2 years. Means all 4 demands, which were in oppose during UPA regime, considered logically.

Movie was playing very nicely. All actors of UPA and NDA were performing their characters efficiently. People from every section were hopeful for GST-DJ and were asking each other about the consequences. BJP was very happy, was expecting a major breakthrough after Bihar defeats. One Bhajan song in the movie also ended gently when Chai wala PM offered tea to Madam Sonia and old owner Dr Manmohan singh of the same place at 7 RCR. Chai-pe-charcha completed successfully. Parliamentarians were in healthy mood. SP and JDU specially cleared their stand on GST in favor of govt. BJP was busy in calculating required numbers to pass GST in Rajya Sabha.

Suddenly a political asteroid landed among Parliamentarians and everything changed. Ghost of National Herald damaged entire calculations.  The Delhi High Court dismissed plea of Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi to quash the summons issued by trial court in the National Herald case. A festive mood circled the Modi fannisters and Dr Swamy camp. Saffron social media started celebrating the moment. Dr Swamy claimed the victory of justice. Anxious on GST, Modi Govt immediately sidelined himself and declare it words between Court and Dr Swamy. BJP cleared, they have nothing to do with National Herald in political terms.

UPA realized the fatal position and declared it as nothing but a Political Vendetta. Madam Sonia and RG also declared it as Vendetta, questioned on intensions and interventions of Govt over National Herald.

Entire political scene suddenly changed within an hour of rejection of plea over National Herald. Congress intensified his attacks in Parliament also. BJP completely denied any involvement and declared it as whims and fancies of a particular family. Rack-suck continued for many hours first in Parliament and later-on Parliament postponed for full day. Next day also similar attacks are carried out by Congress and counter parts of UPA. Anxious BJP questioned the intensions of congress and UPA and stated the fear of Winter session washout similar as Monsoon session due to continuous Parliament logjams. Finance minister Mr Jaitley reminded the legacy of first Parliamentarian of India, Mr J L Nehru  and his words in the first meeting of Parliament and encouraged for bilateral talks and requested to settle the issue through debate – the  healthy culture.

First try to Understand, What is the case of National Herald. The National Herald Case is the ongoing case filed by Indian economist and politician Dr. Subramanium Swamy against politicians Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, their companies and associated persons in a court in Delhi. As per the complaint filed in the court of the Metropolitan Magistrate, Indian National Congress granted an interest-free loan of 90.25 crore (US$13 million) to The Associated Journals Limited (AJL), owner of National Herald Newspaper. It was alleged that the loan was either not repaid or repaid in cash which is in violation of Section 269T of the Income Tax Act, 1961. A closely held company Young Indian was incorporated in November 2010 with a capital of 5 lakh (US$7,500) and it acquired almost all the shareholding of AJL and all its properties (alleged to be worth 50 billion (US$750 million)). Dr. Swamy alleged criminal misappropriation by Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi in this matter.

Prima facie, It persist like Parliament logjam is aiming to put pressure on running Govt to minimize their interventions in the National Herald case, if any or Congress and UPA is confronting himself for further proceedings of Parliament to to bring Govt in a compromising position.

In this matter, Modi Govt is simply trying to encash opportunity in two modes. First –  Trying to ride over Social Media trials in their favor and simultaneously they want to encash the popularity of Dr Swamy in their own favor. Second – after a big setback in Bihar, BJP has received an opportunity to harness their anti-corruption image and want to make up all losses of Delhi and Bihar defeats, for that BJP is involving himself in more and more Main Stream Media trails to clear and reflect their stands on corruption.

Govt has three major challenges. First they want to pass Bills in parliament where UPA is enjoying majority in Upper House (Rajya Sabha). Second, Govt wants to give a clear indications to his supporters that their stand is very clear on corruption. Third, Govt knows very well that so far they have not implemented a single big plan, which may touch the grass root level of Indian voters and Govt is very much hopeful in mode of financial touch with GST.

Rahul ji and his team has major three challenges. They want to gear another Bihar in Assam, West Bengal and UP. The National Herald may be a big damage to Rahul’s clean image irrespective of his party. Social Media expert – Mr Prashant Kishor has also suggested the same to Rahul ji to create an image of BECHARA. Means Rahul ji is a nice guy, irrespective of party and politics, means he will not do the same as previous leaders of Congress has done if he voted to power. Second – Rahul ji knows very well, Social Media is power of Modiji. A wrong message is coming to ground that Congress is saving his bad deeds by logjams of parliament. And again he is realizing that his all tourism to common man and ground people will go in vain if traced in national Herald. Third, This is holy truth that BJP is continuously losing grounds as so far they fail to reach the poor common man, hence if they will not create a tussle then they will be under tremendous pressure to run the parliament and pass the bill in wake up of country progress. Then entire credit will reach to Modi ji accounts automatically.

Each Parliament logjams is extra burden on every common man, which leads to a loss of Rs 2 crore per day. Apart from this, sometimes this may lead to more than 100 crores in a week due to late implementation of financial activities or obstruction in delay in decision-making. Economy of country also effects from it,  which finally kills human emotions and expectations of crores of citizens/voters of India and they feel like direct dacoity in the pockets of every tax payers.
Recent Parliament logjams are also reflecting, one type of Friction Politics in India. Congress and UPA is obstructing Parliament houses but fail to give a clear message to common people of India.

Not scared, I am Indira’s Daughter-In-Law, says Sonia Ghandhi.

Congress  claimed that disruptions in RS were a protest against BJP’s inaction in Vyapam and Lalitgate Scam.

Democracy can’t function on and fancies of anyone, says Modi ji.

Democracy has two threats – Mantantra and Dhantantra, says Modi ji.

We oppose Polavaram - BJD

Democracy cannot be restricted to elections and Govt alone, says Modi ji.

Modi teri tanasahi nahi chalegi – Chant of Opposition during Logjam inside houses.

Modi, Amit Shah fought legal battles with dignity, BJP never disrupted Parliament – M. Venkaiya Naidu

BJP under pressure from RSS to block GST Bill – Randeep Surajewala.

No link between GST, National Herald issue – Rahul Ghandhi.

Arun Jaitley seeks Congress support to GST, says India can touch 9% growth.

Looking to entire wordings of parliamentarians, it is quite clear that these people are not very clear on their stands. Simultaneously Modi Govt is giving a helpless message to Indian people, which are expecting a Macho -   56 inch after giving them clear mandate. Modi Govt is fail to run both houses, which is the sole responsibility of ruling party.

End of this Story is, A clear message is coming to us that Indian Politics is riding on Personal intensions, welfare and country is secondary. We want development, best facilities and welfare of every last men of society  and in return we are paying our duties in form of tax and civil liabilities. This is a highest disappointment to every voter of India, who feels that leader is working or in feel of Political Vendetta, ignoring their problems. Also this is a biggest setback that Parties are not clear on their stands and they are not aiming the final goal means progress of every last common man. These days voters are also amid confuse over Frictional Politics of various parties. In recent development, In Bihar Assembly Polls,  the victory margin of winning  Candidate was less than NOTA votes in 23 assemblies. Means many people had casted  NOTA which cannot be considered, good for democracy in any aspects. This is leading to a national shame for all us that even parties are failed to provide a single suitable candidate.

We do appreciate our Parliamentarians efforts. Please settle your disputes among each other and work jointly for the welfare of your own people. We request continuous running of both houses. We urge for proper dialogues, Parliament Logjams can never be a true practice of sensitive leader. This is the duty of ruling party to convince opposition at any cost, which reflects the beauty of democracy. Let us work together, Let Parliament work.
