Analysis of Assembly elections in India 2016

Here is my analysis of the results of recently concluded Assembly elections in India, on state by state basic.

ASSAM - BJP swept to a historic two-third majority in this North Eastern state. Rahul Gandhi kept on sticking to a obscurantist Gogoi, whose rampant pampering of minorities, the presence of the AIUDF a pro-Muslim party allergic to many and influx of illegal immigrants from neigboring Bangladesh, all helped to fuel a rare Hindu backlash, who though divided by caste are occasionally  united by existential crisis. This was one of such occasions.

BENGAL - Mamata is the new Left in West Bengal, the old CPM wine is recycled in TMC Bottle. Whatever left was of Left, has been totally decimated. Minority pampering and illegal immigration is a serious issue in this state. BJP had a golden chance to latch on to it and reap some tangible electoral benefits, a la Assam. But it lost the opportunity to build on it. Modi magic can't always deliver. It's time for BJP to groom a local leader in the state, rather than falling back on faddists like Bappi Lahiri. Their actors cum political parachuting turncoats like Hema Malini, Satrughan Sinha etc are proven to be more liabilities than assets to the party.

TAMIL NADU - Amma Brand worked in a state, where Congress party has been  virtually impotent since the days of "Amma Indiramma" due of her pragmatic alliance with Anna MGR. In the fight between the Dravidian Duo, the protégé of MGR survived. People of Tamil Nadu haven't forgotten the corruption by the extended clan of Karunanidhi. The later should thank the mother nature for giving him some hope by pouring some extra amount of rain last December, which gave Amma a little scare in the seats from the northern part of the state which was impacted by unprecedented flood only 6 months back.

KERALA - God's own country is the only place where the Goddless Communists thrive, after they have been become an endangered species in Bengal like its Royal Bengal Tiger. The most educated state is toing and froing between the Communist and Congress led governments, and wisely so to keep them on their toe. It's another matter that the down in moral Congies did everything wrong in power to keep repeating its history.

PUDUCHERRY - Only place Congress can boast of a decent performance but no one hardly cares about this politically insignificant Union Territory.

Contrary to opinion of many, BJP has hardly gained anything from these elections, except Assam. In fact it failed to break the firewalls of Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, who between them have 100 Parliamentary constituencies up for grab.

The biggest loser however is - Congress, a party which now survives on piggybacking on its partner parties, like parasite leeches and mosquitoes feeding off on others. The concept of Congress Mukt (free) Bharat (India) seems to be well on fast track.

If Congress were a Corporate entity, Rahul Gandhi would have been sacked for non-performance long ago for failing to deliver the desired results. Sadly, such fixing of accountability can't be expected from family led feudal fiefdoms.
