Through the lens of this Nation 54

The General Elections has just got over. One of the longest elections that Bharat has seen. May be, it is the longest in the world. The general elections results are out, and we all know now, who has won how many seats. No single party has got clear majority. Even though a single party has won 240 odd seats to be declared the single largest party. But it does not have the numbers to form the government on its own. The tally stands somewhat like this

BJP 240 seats

NDA (BJP+ TDP+ JDU+others)240+16+16+20 Total 292 seats

INDI-A (Cong +SP +TMC+others)99 +37+29+68) Total 233 seats

Independents. 18 (Not in either alliance)

BJP-NDA

Any party to form a government on its own, needs to have a simple majority, of more than half the number of MPs in the parliament, which amounts to 272 seats. Modi and his BJP have failed to cross this magic number on their own. BJP got only 240, ie 32 short. However, with their NDA partners, they have managed to breach this number and reach 292 seats. Clearly getting a majority to form the government.

Congress -INDI Alliance.

The newly formed Indi Alliance also needs 272 seats to form the government. Congress has only 99 seats, so it cannot form the govt on its own. The Indi-Alliance got only 233 seats and has also failed to reach the magic number of 272. So, they also cannot form the government, even with their combined strength.

ALLIANCE GOVERNMENT

So clearly Bharat is back to good old days of “milijulisarkaar” ( Government of Alliance). How it might play out is any body’s guess.

Scene 1. NDA government. 

A government formed by BJP, with Telugu Desam’s Chandra Babu Naidu and Janata Dal U’s, Nitish Kumar as partners. Though they are partners of BJP prior to elections, and Modiji has gone and campaigned for them in their respective states during elections, now that they have 16 parliamentary seats each in their hold, they will demand their pound of flesh. Even if Modi becomes Prime Minister for the third time, it is expected that he will be a much subdued, person.

Scene 2. Indi government.

Rumours are strife that Indi-alliance has already called these two leaders and offered to make them deputy prime minister’s if they defect. Nitish Kumar who is well known for his defecting tactics, (famously known as paltu ram in his state),may soon decide to go to the other side, if they offer him either Deputy Prime Ministers post or some prestigious ministry. He may also demand these from NDA government, to stay with them and support them. While in the case of Chandra Babu Naidu, who is a more trustworthy friend, may stay put with NDA and support them. But even if JDU and TDP with their 16+16=32 seats decide to defect and join them, they will still not be able to form the govt, because they will still have only 265 seats. Not sufficient to stake a claim to form the government.

  INTERFERENCE OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES IN INDIAN GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The Deep State has been constantly at work. Because it wants Bharat to always be subservient to USA. It doesn’t want Bharat to be united and strong. It doesn’t want Bharat to grow, to be a world leader and an economically strong nation. Deep state’s biggest assets to fulfill this job are:

• YouTube- Alphabet, American company
• .     Instagram- Meta, American owned company.
• .     Facebook- Meta, American owned company.
• .     X – Elon Musk, American owned company.
• .     WhatsApp- Meta, American owned company.

Most people obtain their information about politics and politicians from these 5 social media applications. Besides they also watch TV narratives, controlled by them. All these decide how a common man forms his opinions. They form their opinions based on what they receive from these applications and TV media. And they express their opinions also, accordingly. But once an individual starts using these applications, it is their algorithms that decides what an individual, sees and reads on them. Unknowingly we become victims to what they want us to believe. So, what we have been witnessing, hearing or reading on these, during the course of last fifty odd days, is what these applications, owned by America and sympathetic to Deep State wants us to see or read.

Hence it is no secret that this foreign controlled applications and media houses have had a huge impact on how the people of India voted. In view of the above, it is really a wonder and creditable, that despite of all this, BJP and NDA still managed to achieve the kind of limited success that they achieved.

How, national politics plays out in the coming five years with heavy  international interference, is any body’s guess. However, it all plays out, let us hope it plays out to make Bharat stronger and greater.
