    Unfortunately India is going back because of BJP or RSS. These days no quality in ED, IT, ISRO, Elections, defence, Supreme Court, CBI etc These are all rubber stamps. ISRO is failing due to centre government interference and lack of quality management.

    I dont feel the opposition has got any mileage to beat NDA their ego is making a fool of themselves Modi i guess will rule the next term even if the public is against him There are always core voters of a party- BJP, Congress and other the victory always lies on the shifting voters- BJP is master mind in dividing these voters by bring AAP or Owasi or local voters in vote divide

    Readers, the landslide victory of Vice Presidential candidate Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar is a clear indication of a lopsided opposition parties, even their own betrayed their party whip to vote for Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar !!! The INC used Veteran Congress leader Margaret Alva as a sacrificial lamb... Mamta didi hate, for the Congress netas was on open display... Is this victory going to be the benchmark for the general election in 2024 ???
