Heartening sight✋
A great day. Fuck BJP. Fuck Modi. 😃💪
Thinking INC may end closer to or past 140 🤞
Worrying trend in India is that urban educated and rich elite are totally radicalized and are captive votebank of BJP. BJP only loses if their economic policies are severely hurting agriculturists and poor.
@def__init__e Yes, a quarter of BJP’s 64 seats have come from greater Bangalore area constituencies. The next big orange cluster seems to be Mangalore-area constituencies per Deccan Herald’s map: https://www.deccanherald.com/election/karnataka/karnataka-assembly-election-constituency-wise-result-2023-live-data-bjp-congress-jds-party-wise-performance-winners-and-losers-1218173.htm
@cydonian coastal karnataka is the most prosperous and highly literate part of the state.
@def__init__e Yup, used to live close to Mangalore in Kasaragod, Kerala. Have fond memories of that stretch, particularly of its multicultural, multilingual ethos. Quite sad to see the rise of Hindu fundamentalism (Ram Sene etc) there.
