India – Illegitimate National Electoral Outcome

Indian election was held and over now with the outcome arguably raising numerous questions on the means in the face of non-correlating ground reality. The voter frustration over election deception is a brewing storm post election given dissatisfaction en masse on Prime Minister Narendra Modi government’s first term performance.

There is no doubt election is transformed into a formality to legitimize illegitimacy. 

The elected members of Parliament along with political parties so-called victory draw attention in this regard.

The carefully managed and calibrated election to favor those to silence democracy beckon focus.

BJP’s apparent landslide victory exceeding personal and party expectations despite PM Narendra Modi’s dismal record on social issues and economy in particular not barring national security in the absence of evidence on much touted Balakot air strike is indeed too good to be true. 

PM Narendra Modi having unlawfully, unethically and undemocratically eliminated  real candidate the ex-BSF soldier Tej Bahadur Yadav out of the race on false reasons, the so-called invincible Prime Minister Narendra Modi is hailed victor in Varanasi amid massive rejection and disillusionment among Indian electorate including Varanasi voters at large.

BJP guaranteed victory to supposedly opposition heads of political parties like Congress head – Sonia Gandhi, President Rahul Gandhi from Kerala by showing loss in home turf Amethi.

The trend continues with SP leaders Mulayam Singh Yadav ( the one who yearned for PM Narendra Modi’s return during his speech at Parliament closing session), his son SP leader Akilesh Yadav in the SP & BSP coalition in U.P. also spared to muzzle any dissent upon contradictory position in his constituency. 

In J&K – the National Congress leader and former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah is allowed to win in the embattled state as BJP’s vocal opponent. The inverse would have unraveled BJP’s spin and upset the applecart for the national party default to three seats in defiance of anti-BJP sentiment in J&K. 

In West Bengal – rather than crashing and crushing Trinamool Congress (TMC) and TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee, BJP slams the brake in the near head on collision to avoid major raucous and post election turmoil in the otherwise volatile eastern state. The move quietens TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee relegated to be satisfied in retaining Chief Minister post on bare margin. 

Down South – In Andhra Pradesh –  BJP axed TDP and Chief Chandrababu Naidu visibly active in interlocutor role pre-election in the hope of bidding farewell to Hindutva ideologue BJP at the centre only to be recipient in reverse format. 

BJP knowing well that YSRP blossomed in Andhra, BJP let that bloom as any interjection or disruption would have aroused suspicions on BJP’s selective election maneuver. It so turned out that BJP wish in Andhra Pradesh  to see rival Chandrababu Naidu led TDP out of the scene materialized without BJP doing anything in that respect. 

BJP flex muscles and makes inroads in the other half of the territory – Telangana by gaining four seats having faced colossal defeat in the assembly polls in October 2018 to propagate Narendra Modi wave conspicuously  missing back then and now.

Tamil Nadu – BJP generosity towards Congress ally DMK to receive more than they could handle pretty much sealed DMK from crying foul on EVM mismanagement that would have forced DMK to submit to similar counter argument on their extraordinary ballot bonanza. 

Kerala – BJP allowing status quo in the southern state is an insurance policy to deter popular demand on vote fraud unequivocally committed in this election following suit from earlier electoral events. 

Karnataka – BJP’s dominance admittedly from horse trading in the south western state was registered to convey Hindutva guided BJP determination to overrule election norm. 

Delhi – PM Narendra Modi denying recognition of people elected local government represented by AAP was established in the aggressive assault deploying devious tactics to morph EVM enabled clean sweep in the capital state.

Uttar Pradesh – the northern state was primarily the sitting duck with BJP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath handling home ministry or interior ministry misused power witnessed in unprotected transportation of EVM’s from polling stations regardless of those EVMs being empty or full. 

Likewise, EVM magic was more potent than Modi mantra in northern states – Bihar, Rajasthan and central state Madhya Pradesh. Though same scenario apply nationwide on EVM facilitated winnings in most parts of the country leaving the remaining intact to offset speculations and obfuscate non-existing Modi mania. 

Gujarat cannot be excluded either in EVM scandal. The western state in the backdrop of Modi disenchantment was impetus in BJP manufactured election gimmick.

In nutshell, BJP essentially won over opposition in permitting the relevant members of political factions to maintain their respective Parliamentary and State assembly status confining them to contentment on individual success via unopposed or weak challenges practically delivering electoral advantage to every one of them.

Conversely BJP stifling valid probe on EVM debacle and fraudulent usurpation to power by riding on unpopular Narendra Modi band wagon evident in the biggest political stunt ever declaring the end of democracy with fanfare. 

Meanwhile, the election commission and Supreme Court as silent spectators generate the impression on the constitutionally set up institutions metamorphosis to renegades much to democratic system decline. 

Anything obtained deceitfully is unsustainable and disintegrates due to delusional claims forging distrust and decadence.
