The election was transiting in phases; so was the public mood.
The common refrain was, "chunav palat gaya hai"; the election has turned.
This election was not contested by political parties, it was contested by the people.
The BJP is likely to fall well short, of the majority mark of 272.
In the context of the party's stranglehold over money, a servile media, spinelessness of institutions like the Election Commission, any number below 300 would be a defeat for the regime.

Counselled him to not grab, but to let go; to live without blemish.
Arvind began by doing good work, initially.
When liquor trade brought in loads and loads of money, he drowned in it.
If he is innocent in the matter, it screams for a response from him. Incident has happened in his residence, and involves his personal assistant.
And there is a strong inference that it was done at his behest. And that inference gets stronger, with his continuing silence and his inaction.
Do you think that the personal secretary is going to misbehave with a Rajya Sabha member, who the chief minister has praised in the past - unless there is a tacit consent in this matter?
AA Party now consists people who are a close cabal of criminals. .
Already there is a criminal case of money laundering, against the AA party. The party itself has been named as the accused.
Birds of a feather flock together, and not one party member has stood up to condemn the assault. Their behaviour has now exposed them Clearly something terrible has happened. And it has happened in the chief minister's residence. The offences are serious, and some of them non bailable. Yet the chief minister, is silent.

While going to the federal executive committee meeting in Goa, in 2002, he had made up his mind that the Gujarat government would be dismissed, if Narendra Modi refused to resign.
But Vajpayee withheld his decision, because his Home Minister Lal Kishan Advani, threatened to resign from federal cabinet.
Remaining in the Indian Union meant economic backwardness and linguistic subjugation.
But the China war brought changes to the Constitution.
The sixteenth Amendment banned, parties with autonomy ideals, from contesting elections. Annadurai vehemently debated against this amendment in parliament, but could not stop it from being passed.
And Annadurai worked at better cooperation between the Southern States.

The words socialist and secular were inserted in the Preamble of the Constitution under the 42nd Constitutional amendment moved by the Indira Nehru Khan's government in 1976. The amendment had changed the description of India - a sovereign, democratic republic.
It is not possible for policy makers to vary, alter or repeal the Preamble - it is not equivalent to an ordinary statute.
Also, the insertion is against the rights to freedom of religion, concept of judicial review. And so, it violates the Constitution. Only a limited amending power has been conferred on the Parliament.

It is only fair, that people who pass laws are qualified, with a basic education, so they know the implications, positives and negatives of the laws they enact.
The federal governance's involvement goes beyond Defence, Railways, Post and Telegraph.
In the name of being a "Welfare State", it creeps into all spheres of social life, and enacts laws. Such law makers will be better off, if they are educated enough to have working knowledge, of these processes.
When Rajendra Prasad expressed these views, Nehru resisted. And felt that Prasad's observations can be taken to mean, that the Constituent Assembly not having confidence in his governance. Nehru threatened to resign. And succeeded in passing all his bills.
