India's election: The impact of independent journalists https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dxr1cfZ4JE Jun 7, 2024  FRANCE 24 English India is the world’s biggest democracy and also has one of the biggest media landscapes. But some critics say there has been an illusion of choice. Politically the opposition is not on a level playing field and mainstream media are accused of being mouthpieces of the government. We speak to journalist Smita Sharma and Saurabh Shukla, co-founder of The Red Mike, an independent media outlet with more than half a million followers on YouTube.

India's surprising election results and the verdict on the media https://youtu.be/wTITvNd0eHo?t=36 | The Listening Post Al Jazeera English . Will this new configuration loosen the screws on Indian media and give them space to reinvest in journalism rather than the sycophancy that dominated the airwaves so much of the time this past decade?

How Does The West See India's Poll Results https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQJSvt6UStg  For months Western media and think tanks were busy in dissecting the possibility of a consecutive third term in power for India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi and its possible negative consequences--in their view--about backsliding of democracy in India, erosion of institutional independence and rising majoritarian tendencies and more. The outcome of the world's largest election may not have been on the expected lines for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party or BJP since it fell short of majority on its own in the lower house of parliament but Prime Minister Modi is going nowhere. He is all set to take office for the third time on Sunday, albeit at the head of a multi-party coalition. So, will Modi 3.0 be any different than the previous two terms? This is certainly unfamiliar territory for Modi. For over two decades, he has headed governments with full majority, first as chief minster of Gujarat and then as prime minister in the last 10 years.

Modi 3.0 suggests he may have to curb his instincts, accommodate demands from fickle allies on domestic policies but one aspect in which the new government is likely to continue its previous approach is in the foreign policy space.

BSP polls more votes than victory margin in 16 UP seats http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/110747609.cms Had these seats also gone to the INDIA kitty, it would have taken the NDA’s total tally down to 278 and the BJP’s to 226. Rema Nagarajan / TNN / Jun 6, 2024,

IN UP, MAYAWATI'S BSP FAILED TO PLAY SPOILER FOR OPPOSITION, HURT BJP MORE https://thewire.in/politics/in-up-mayawatis-bsp-failed-to-play-spoiler-for-opposition-hurt-bjp-more .. After being outrightly rejected by the people again, Mayawati has once again blamed Muslims for her loss, arguing that despite fielding a large number of candidates from the minority community its voters failed to back her Bahujan Samaj Party, writes Omar Rashid.

Going solo proved to be disastrous for Mayawati as the BSP not only failed to open its score but could only manage to secure around 9.4% votes in Uttar Pradesh where Dalits make up 21.5% of the population.

P Sainath on Lok Sabha Results 2024 And What Lies Ahead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5zlJE22Cow  NewsClickin

The outcome of 2024 Lok Sabha elections may not have given clear majority to any political party. But it did give clear indications that Indian politics and democracy shall be centred around people's issues. During the campaign attempts were made by the ruling party to steer the narrative towards non-issues like mangalsutra, religion-based reservation etc. However, the people, who have been bearing the brunt of uncontrolled price rise and unemployment, economic and agricultural distress, seemed to have voted on issues that affect their lives.

What do these results tell about the character of Indian politics? Have the Indian working class and peasantry, while struggling to find its unity amid the many religious and caste-based internal conflicts, still sided with the democratic values envisioned in the constitution and tried to reign in the autocratic rule?

Parakala Prabhakar Interview: 'मोदी में गठबंधन सरकार चलाने की क्षमता नहीं' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW558NQ_JCw    Jun 7, 2024

Can Modi survive floor test in the parliament? Can he run a coalition govt like Atal did? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Nl3iLkFIlg  Modi will be sworn in as the Prime Minister for the third time. This time he does not have the majority of its own ? He is dependent on Allies. Parkala Prabhakar says that he will be surprised if Modi govt passes the floor test .
मोदी सरकार की सबसे बड़ी चुनौती है संसद में बहुमत साबित करना । चंद्र बाबू नायडू और नीतीश कुमार ने फ़िलहाल मज़बूती से मोदी को समर्थन देने का फ़ैसला किया है । लेकिन सबसे बड़ा सवाल कई बार पलटी मारने वाले इन नेताओं पर कितना भरोसा किया जा सकता है ? क्या वो समर्थन की पूरी क़ीमत नहीं वसूलेंगे ? जाने माने बुद्धिजीवी और वित्त मंत्री निर्मला स्वीकारने के पति परकाला प्रभाकर का कहना है कि मोदी के लिये फ़्लोर टेस्ट पास करना मुश्किल होगा

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNnAQbv7FJg In a 30-minute interview to Karan Thapar for _THE WIRE_, Dr. Parakala said he is not at all sure how long the new Narendra Modi government will last. To begin with, he questioned whether it will even be formed and then, if it is, he questioned whether it will survive a vote of confidence in the Lok Sabha. If it does he said there is a very high possibility that in the next few months the Prime Minister may be changed, either under pressure from his own Party or the RSS or NDA allies. And there is even the possibility that Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar could walk out.

Dr. Parakala Prabhakar said the challenge facing the Prime Minister is a simple but monumental one: “Can old Mr. Modi become new Mr. Modi?” When asked if this is possible, Dr. Parakala, in turn, asked a question, have you ever heard of a wolf in sheep’s clothing actually imagining himself to be a sheep? Dr. Parakala said Mr. Modi has always been a wolf in wolf’s clothing.

The Modi Myth Has Been Shattered, Is It Time for Him to Resign? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkJu2rg_0F4 The Wire Jun 4, 2024 
All the results of the Lok Sabha elections 2024 are out, it can now be said that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has not been able to repeat the success of the last two Lok Sabha elections, and has fallen far behind the claims of getting a majority.

The BJP, which gave the slogan 'Abki Baar 400 Paar', is leading in 240 seats till the time of writing the news, which is much less than the majority figure of 272 in the 543-member Lok Sabha. At the same time, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is around 290 seats.

Although the NDA alliance is getting the required majority to gain power at the Center, the possibilities cannot be ruled out. NDA allies like JDU and TDP play an important role in this 2024 election.
