Like the leech that waits to get onto a body and start sucking blood, like a hyena waiting for an opportunity to slyly cheat the other animals, like terrorists waiting to create mayhem in India, so is the congress that was waiting to get its hands on governance and start the machine of corruption & mismanagement.
The main and I say MAIN reasons for India ousting the family and congress in 2014 was corruption & mismanagement. Just corruption. They lost multiple states before and after 2014 for the same reason. If this was the case, one would assume that they have learnt their lesson. Even a kid learns lessons quickly when he/ she gets a “Time Out”. But the congress seems to want to get more “Time Outs”. The hindi saying “Kutte ki Dum” is most appropriate for congress. Before anyone jumps on me, this is just an analogy.
Congress won 3 states viz: Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh in Dec ’18…Yes, just the last month.
If you go purely by #s, this cannot be considered a handsome victory (except Chhasttisgarh) after BJP was serving these states for more than 2 terms.

Nevertheless, a victory is a victory and so is a loss. But what comes after this victory is interesting. Here goes:
- Rajasthan – Fake Names on Farm Loan Waiver List: The first scam (small one when compared to what congress has done in the past) has started with the loan waiver embezzlement case in Rajasthan. Farmers in Dungarpur district of Rajasthan found the names of more than 1600 people from the village whose name featured in the list and never took the loan. Gehlot’s government had announced farmer loan waiver in Rajasthan in the very first cabinet meeting. The report emerged from Gowadi Village, Sagwara Tehsil in Dungarpur district of Rajasthan. When people checked the name of farmers on the online link provided by the state government they found the name of more than 1700 people from the village whose name figured in the list but they never took the loan. So the question is, where did the money go?
- Madhya Pradesh & Rajasthan- Urea/ Fertilizer Crisis: Supply of urea has been highly mismanaged by the governments in both these states. Procurement of Urea which is a basic fertilizer has become more of a pain leading to farmers standing in lines for a long time outside distribution centers. This has lead to farmer protests resulting in lathi charges. Given this is a critical Rabi season, the anger of the farmers has doubled… But the situation hasn’t changed much. Incidentally, Rahul who has the time to tweet and repeating the same lie on Rafale, has not found the time to talk about the farmer issues in his states. I haven’t come to Karnataka yet.
- Punjab, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh - Farmer Deaths: Incidentally, 1 farmer died every 12 hours between April and August in Karnataka. But the media was busy focusing on the fake farmer protest elsewhere. Similarly, with the farm loan waiver being ineffective in Madhya Pradesh, 4 farmers have already committed suicide in the first 2 weeks of the new government being sworn in. Punjab is no different when it comes to farmer death.
The point to understand for our liberal, elite and “Laal Salaam” gang is that these deaths will happen in any dispensation. So, trying to make a regime change isn’t the solution. The real challenge is to find the right solution for the farmers which doesn’t seem to be the focus for the MSM or the liberals. Obviously, farmers were used as a tool in these states and will now be discarded.
All this in just 4 weeks and we have a few more years to go!
Bottom Line: Losing these 3 states can be a blessing in disguise for the BJP & Modi. They get an opportunity to highlight the corruption, mismanagement and poor governance by congress and this will help them as they head towards May 2019. As for congress, If Rahul gets to see beyond the illusion of Rafale scam, I hope he gives a serious thought for the farmers.
