  • Failure of the Mahagathbandhan
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Failure of the Mahagathbandhan In the Lok Sabha elections of 2019 in Uttar Pradesh, the contest was keenly watched as the alliance of the Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, and Rashtriya Lok Dal took on the challenge against the domination of the Bharatiya Janata Party. What contributed to the continued good performance of the BJP and the inability of the alliance to assert its presence is the focus of analysis here. In the last decade, politics in Uttar Pradesh (UP) has seen radical shifts. The Lok Sabha elections 2009 saw the Congress’s comeback in UP. It gained votes in all subregions of UP and also registered a sizeable increase in vote share among all social groups. The 2012 assembly elections gave a big victory to the Samajwadi Party (SP) when it was able to get votes beyond its traditional voters: Muslims and Other Backward Classes (OBCs). The 2014 Lok Sabha elections saw the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) winning 73 seats with its ally Apna Dal. It was facilitated by the consolidation of voters cutting across caste and class, in favour of the party. Riding on the popularity of Narendra Modi, the BJP was able to trounce the regional parties and emerge victorious in the 2017 assembly elections as well. But, against the backdrop of anti-incumbency, an indifferent economic record, and with the coming together of the regional parties, it was generally believed that the BJP would not be able to replicate its success in 2019. However, the BJP’s performance in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections shows its continued domination over the politics of UP.

  • Peoples' Mahagathbandhan
    PEOPLES’ MAHAGATHBANDHAN THE STRATEGIC VOTING GUIDE FOR 2019 WE, THE PEOPLES OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute a PEOPLES’ MAHAGATHBANDHAN to save the Indian Constitution and to bring to justice the ruling fascists for their crimes against the Bahujan peoples, are faced with the immediate task of defeating them in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Page 2 Why a People’s Mahagathbandhan? We need a Peoples’ Grand Alliance because most of our parties have failed to come together to defeat the fascists. Our parties have failed us but we cannot let them be defeated by murderous forces of Sangh Parivar. The 2019 Lok Sabha elections will decide the fate of one-sixth of humanity threatened by fascist genocide. Our Peoples’ Mahagathbandhan is a principled social alliance of Bahujan labouring peoples. The principle that binds us is that our political differences should not come in the way of defeating enemies of humanity. Fascists are the common enemy of all our peoples and we have to fight them together despite our differences. This is a practical guide for realising the Peoples’ Mahagathbandhan through the Bahujan art of strategic voting. Page 3 The Strength of Peoples’ Mahagathbandhan The fascists captured state power in India by unifying the imperialist Upper Castes and consolidating their votes. To defeat them, we have to bring together Bahujans of all oppressed nationalities, from Kashmir to Tamil Nadu, from Punjab to Bengal, and from Nagaland to Kerala. The People’s Mahagathbandhan represents the majority as it is composed of Dalits, Adivasis, OBCs, Women, religious minorities, LGBTQ+ communities, people with disabilities and all oppressed nationalities of the subcontinent- the BAHUJAN MAJORITY and their political organisations.

  • A Tale of Two Campaigns
    Bihar Assembly Elections A Tale of Two Campaigns Sarthak Bagchi Oct 31, 2015 Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar addressing an election rally in Vaishali, Bihar on 23/10/2015. Photo : PTI As Bihar enters the final phases of polling in the Assembly Elections, Sarthak Bagchi reflects on the competitive campaigns launched by the Bharatiya Janata Party led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Grand Alliance of Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav, called the Mahagathbandhan. Bagchi’s reports bring out the divergent and distict campaign strategies of the two alliances, with one clearly on a grand scale catering to a richer, upper-caste voter base, designed to razzle and dazzle, while the other targets individuals in villages and hamlets, and is low-key. However, as Bagchi points out, both campaigns have been hard pressed to strike a balance between the rhetoric of caste and development. A tarpaulin sheet has been hastily erected to make a pandal (marquee) for a mahagathbandhan sabha (Grand Alliance meeting) in Samastipur district in Bihar. Sitting under its shade, Pintu Yadav, 26, is craning his neck eagerly scanning the skies for an incoming helicopter. “All these chutka netas (small leaders) keep occupying the stage till the badka neta (big leader) comes. I am waiting for the badka to arrive by helicopter.” The badka neta Pintu was waiting for happened to be the Chief Minister of Bihar and the face of the mahagathbandhan, Nitish Kumar. Pintu and the crowd of about 10,000-odd people were gathered in the dusty ground of a middle school in Samastipur district.

    Bharatiya Janata Party (Central Office) 6A, Deendayal Upadhyay Marg, New Delhi 28 April 2019 Salient points of speech of BJP National President Sh Amit Shah addressing huge public meetings in Sitamarhi and Chhapra (Bihar) Across the country, there is only one slogan-Modi, Modi and Modi. Congress-RJD and their Mahamilavati politics is based only on appeasement. The people of this country have only one pledge “Fir Ek Baar Modi Sarkar”. The people of this country want to be the 'Sarthi' of this Vikas Yatra. ********** Mayawati said, Modi ji doesn’t come from backward caste. Mayawati ji please stop politics of falsehood, you have rightly said he does not come from backward caste but extreme backward class. ********** The demand for Backward Class Commission was lingering since 1955 but this demand was ignored by everyone including Congress-RJD-BSP. This is Modi government which has fulfilled this demand and appointed Shri Bhagwan Lal Sahni as the first chairman of Backward Class Commission. For this Modi government will be remembered for years to come. ********** At one end we have hard working Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi who works for 18 hours out of 24 hours but at the other end we have leader of 'Mahamilavati Thug Bandhan' Rahul Gandhi who goes on leave every year for 2-3 months. Even his party doesn’t have clue as to where he goes. *********** India after the Air Strike, has become third country which crossed border and killed terrorists. With this action, India has established itself as a decisive nation. ********** After air strike entire country was celebrating but there was mourning at two places, one in Pakistan and the other one at Rahul Gandhi’s office.

  • How Caste and Class Factor's Affected the 2019 Verdict
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention (IJHSSI) ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org ||Volume 8 Issue 08 Ser. III || Aug. 2019 || PP 20-26 How Caste And Class Factor’s Affected The 2019 Verdict Rishi Kumar (Research Scholar, Department of Political Science, HP University Shimla-5) ABSTRACT: Elections represent the general will of the people as expressed in their votes. In the 17th Lok Sabha elections National Democratic Alliance (NDA) represent a cross-section of the Indian urban as well as rural elite. This social basis can be identified through the criterion of caste but there is an element of class in it. The decline of the Congress party and the rise of the BJP to power, created the possibility of a new kind of cleavage based politics. This elections are also about the lessening of caste factors and the rise of class consciousness. There is a specific desire for a “better” class identity along with retaining the order caste one. The BJP has effectively projected the idea of a „new India‟ that is a land of hope and opportunity, downplaying the welfare state upon which most people‟s well-being depends. Thus, Present work is an endeavour to understand that how caste and class factors affected the 2019 verdict.
