Another Indian Election: The Art of Stealing

 

Another Indian Election: The Art of Stealing

Ah, democracy in India—where elections aren’t just a festival but a full-blown circus featuring power plays, mudslinging, and, of course, some good old-fashioned vote stealing. This time, the plot thickens as our very own Prime Minister Modi faces off against a man who seems to delight in staying one step ahead of him: Arvind Kejriwal. The battle is set in Delhi, a city where Kejriwal has earned the trust of its citizens, potentially reminding Modi that not everyone is eager to sing his praises. Shocking, I know.

Let’s rewind a decade or so, shall we? Once upon a time, many believed Kejriwal was a kindred spirit of the RSS, destined to be Modi’s trusty sidekick. A bromance for the ages, right? Wrong. Kejriwal turned out to be less of a sidekick and more of a thorn in Modi’s side. Not only did he shatter illusions, but he also showed that the anti-corruption movement, possibly orchestrated by the BJP itself, could backfire spectacularly. Kudos to Kejriwal for that plot twist—turns out he actually meant all that anti-corruption talk. Who knew?

Now, let’s address the real elephant in the room: Modi’s alleged love affair with Adani. It seems like keeping Kejriwal in power is a major buzzkill for Modi’s grand plans of awarding lucrative contracts to his billionaire buddy. Tough luck, especially when pesky citizens of Delhi keep exposing BJP’s efforts to “cleanse” voter lists of dissenting voices. Thousands of voters conveniently disappearing? Just another day in the democratic paradise.

Of course, this isn’t the BJP’s first rodeo. Tried-and-tested strategies from Haryana and Maharashtra are being deployed, proving that the ruling party’s ingenuity in election tactics knows no bounds. And while opposition parties gnash their teeth and cry foul, let’s be honest—they could use a crash course in playing the game. It’s not exactly rocket science: when the system is rigged, you don’t win by playing nice.

To those still clinging to the illusion of voters making rational choices, let me burst your bubble. The average voter, bless their heart, often decides based on what’s handed to them—be it promises, propaganda, or plain old cash. Throw in a compromised Election Commission and judiciary, and you’ve got a recipe for governance by the highest bidder.

But wait—there’s a glimmer of hope. The Aam Aadmi Party, despite all odds, seems to have delivered on its promises. Imagine that: a political party actually doing what it said it would. No wonder the BJP is scrambling to rewrite the rulebook in Delhi, deploying every trick in their arsenal to keep power firmly in their grasp.

Will the BJP succeed in stealing yet another election? Probably. Should we act surprised? Absolutely not. After all, when winning at any cost is the mantra, why stop at a little voter list manipulation? Stay tuned for the next episode of India’s great electoral soap opera, where the drama never ends, and the results are anything but predictable.

In India When History Becomes a Casualty of "WhatsApp University"

  In India When History Becomes a Casualty of "WhatsApp University" I find myself compelled to write this blog thanks to a handful of BJP loyalists who generously read my work and return with their “unique” interpretations of history. While I appreciate their engagement, it’s hard to ignore the logical gymnastics they perform to defend their views. So, here’s an attempt to set the record straight, even though logic may not be their strongest suit. Let’s start with the fascinating phenomenon of "WhatsApp University," a factory of misinformation designed to produce unwavering faith in an alternative version of history. Take one particularly fervent admirer, for example. She not only despises Rahul Gandhi with unmatched zeal—despite his lack of any substantive power—but also passionately declares that Subhash Chandra Bose was India’s first prime minister. Yes, you read that right. Subhash Chandra Bose, who mysteriously disappeared in 1945, was somehow governing India t...

Justice Weaponized: Why Injustice Wrapped in Religion Fuels the Fire in Kashmir and POK

Note: This article is an opinion piece based on interpretations and historical conjectures that align with the author's point of view. Justice Weaponized: Why Injustice Wrapped in Religion Fuels the Fire in Kashmir and POK Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2025/10/blog-post_21.html Some conflicts aren’t unsolvable; they’re intentionally left unsolved. Kashmir is one of them. Like Palestine. Like systemic racism. Like apartheid. At the heart of each lies a common thread: injustice, not just its presence, but its purposeful misuse to divide, control, and profit. Injustice does not discriminate, but once it is dressed in religious or ethnic colors, it becomes a weapon that does. The world has seen this story before. When Jews were dehumanized in Europe, millions perished while the world rationalized it. When Blacks were enslaved, segregated, and brutalized for centuries, systems justified it as “order.” Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs all have suffered when justic...

India at the Brink: Power, Division, and the Fight for the Nation’s Soul

  India at the Brink: Power, Division, and the Fight for the Nation’s Soul Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2025/10/blog-post_14.html India stands on a knife’s edge not because of foreign threats, but because the system meant to serve the people has turned against them. What we are witnessing today is not just inequality. It is the organized betrayal of the majority by a privileged few, aided by a government that no longer pretends to act in public interest. A powerful bloc of India’s elite, closely tied to the Gujarat lobby, has handed the reins of the nation to the most hardline wing of the BJP, ideologically powered by the RSS. This alliance has given rise to a regime obsessed with control: of politics, media, religion, wealth, and truth. Wealth has been extracted from the people and delivered to corporations via tailor-made laws, deregulation, and privatization. Public assets are built with public money, but the profits flow into private hands t...
