He will never resign. If he resigned all the privatisation contracts will be restructured and therefore all the billionaires investing in railways like Adani logistics will crank Modi's ass since all the railway stocks will crash.

Modi needs all yes men in the cabinet and billionaires need a Yes man as PM.

I think something similar was discussed by Raghuram Rajan at a press conference. A second colonisation. This time by billionaires from Gujarat

Sure I will. Thankyou.

Obviously this is not about Gujarati people. They are just the same people as anywhere else in India.

I have specifically mentioned Gujarati billionaires. You know which guys I am talking about.

There are many recent incidents to think of which points in a similar direction.

In Varanasi the livelihood of small boaters is being taken away by large steamers owned by Gujarati billionaires.

In Ayodhya 4500 houses and shops of poor people were bulldozed to build five star hotels owned by Gujarati property tycoons.

In Ahmedabad the biggest semiconductor plant is being built predominantly funded by tax money and low interest loans from Public sector banks but owned by Adani. I mean they literally own the country at this point and if you are paying taxes you are working for them.

Yes. Even if India becomes the largest economy by GDP

What is the point when per capita income rank is 136 and HDI rank at 134.

And the majority of people make less than $4 a day.

That's not gonna improve by much.

Right now 810 million people are extremely poor dependent on free food grains.

It's only getting worse.

Every little contribution helps. I am not a loyalist of any party but you have to play your part to keep democracy alive.

In fact I am a big fan of both Vajpayee government and Manmohan Singh government. Both maintained the sanctity of the post of prime minister. The biggest public servant. Then Modi came and started his "Mujra"

Otherwise not much can stop billionaires funded authoritarian hatemongery from taking the gullible population for a ride.

Now BJP is crippled and just barely standing on the legs of two left wing parties who hate them.

Even if Modi remains in power you will see him becoming a docile housecat

Yeah it's embarrassing that they lost assembly elections in Karnataka to congress and are still able to comeback.

MP is understandable. Just like UP they don't have a strong state identity and their caste and religion takes centerstage.

MP was congress stronghold until a few years ago when BJP bought some MLAs and installed shivraj singh chauhan

Since then they are running hate campaigns continuously. So MP has become the new UP. It's not surprising they got every MP seat.

UP people have become wiser. Bihar, MP and Rajasthan have gone backwards.

What I am afraid of is if they are able turn MP into Gujarat, then they may not need UP anymore. The signs of this are visible in what they tried to do with Indore seat.

The trend shows Hindutva bandwagon shifting south.

Gujarat is BJP monopoly. Legislature, executive, judiciary, media, law enforcement, education, businesses, they control everything and nobody wants another Gujarat.

It is but the hospital would fire them if they accept it.

I understand that. Here the ruling party is giving free food to 810 million people. That's the majority of the population.

That's not enough. They need free healthcare and education, electricity, water, housing.

Everything that helps them be uplifted to middle. At least most of them.

I am looking at this from an electoral perspective.

We have a majority of poor people and most of them vote. While most of the middle class don't vote.

Which means these poor people are the real kingmakers in India

These people are happy to give away their vote just for food. They deserve more.

But they won't know it until they are educated

And they are not getting educated until they ask for free quality education.

It's a catch 22.

It's hopeless to see the majority of the votebank so desperate. A healthy democracy cannot function like that.

Someone has to convince poor people to ask for the right services to uplift them to the middle class.
