Varanasi, one of the holiest of the cities, shot into limelight in the beginning of this year for reasons other than religious or spiritual. BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi had announced his decision to contest for Lok Sabha from Varanasi constituency. That catapulted Varanasi into the most watched city, by politicians, by the media, by professionals, by common people and, most importantly, by Election Commission of India (ECI).
As was expected, Varanasi witnessed a high-pitched electoral battle. Modi was declared elected by a margin of 3,71,784 votes over his nearest rival Arvind Kejriwal of AAP. The Congress candidate came third followed by that of BSP. Modi’s party, with as well as without its electoral allies, won a majority of the seats in Lok Sabha. Modi was sworn in as Prime Minister on May 26.
As a routine revision of the voters’ lists was held this month, it came out that 3,11,057 fake voters had cast their votes in the May Lok Sabha polling in Varanasi. This figure had come out at the initial stage itself. The district administration expected the number of fake voters to go up to 6,47,085 by the time the revision of the entire constituency was completed. This is quite a mind boggling figure. Even three lakh fake voters in a single high-profile constituency is exceptionable.
Election Commission had of late been trying hard to gain greater credibility. But the Sampath-Brahma-Zaidi trio has reversed the process. A question mark now hangs over its credibility after the discovery of lakhs of fake voters in Prime Minister Modi’s constituency. Forgery of such a gigantic magnitude could not have been possible without the complicity of the Election Commission machinery. One should be excused for presuming that only the touts and pimps were assigned the duty as observers and micro-observers in Varanasi.
The people’s faith in the integrity of the Election Commission of India has been badly shaken, though it is difficult to say at this stage in which form it will manifest.
Modi wins Gujarat: How ?
Posted on: December 16, 2022
Prime Minister Narenda Modi was gripped by panic as the results of Punjab assemby elections showed that AAP has received 92 seats out of 117 — without any fanfare. In fact, no one was taking AAP seriously (even though it was the main Opposition party in the last Assembly). But winning with a thumping majority! That too, without any visible campaign like other parties! AAP Convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has, for quite some time, been saying that Gujarat will be our next target. Now Modi, who had earlier dismissed Kejriwal’s statements as sheer bravado, was in panic.
He paid attention to Gujarat like he has paid to no State so far. On an average three days in a week he started spending in Gujarat and ianugurating completed projects (which were few) and promising new projects worth huge money. He promised projects worth Rs 3050 crores to the State on June 10, worth Rs 21000 crores on June 18; over worth Rs 8000 crores and worth Rs 2900 crores on October 30 to November 1; Rs 15670 crores; 5860 crores; 4260 crores; 3580 crores; and 1970 crores on October 19-20.
This is not exhastive list but only a glimps. Modi arm-twisted Maharashtra (as it was ruled by break-away group of Shiv Sena which had formed the government with BJP) getting Air Bus project worth about Rs 21931 crores. Vedanta-Foxconn semiconductor chip project with a total investment worth Rs 1.54 lakh crore was also taken from Maharastra. Gujarat has bagged projects worth Rs 2.62 lakh crore in the first half (April-September) of the year, pipping Karnataka and Maharashtra
Of the total fresh investments Gujarat attracted during April-September 2022, the share of the private sector proming 21.5 per cent; 224 private projects were announced involving an outlay of Rs 1.96 lakh crores.

castemen, how Modiji is the best Prime Minister the country has had. But more important was persuasion, purchase and threatening the people with a view to creating an atmosphere of fear all-around. Few were spared, some in ignorance, and others who defied the BJP dictates.
Following is the number of seats received by various parties in 2022 and 2017: BJP 156 (99), Congress 17 (77), AAP 5 (0), Others 4 (6).
Musings on Bihar outcome
Posted on: November 9, 2015
A major cause, among various others, of BJP’s humiliating performance in the Bihar Assembly elections may be Amit Shah’s inability to enroll fake voters in large numbers as he was believed to have done in Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency from where Narendra Modi had announced his decision to contest. Later the attempt to rig the Delhi Assembly polls was thwarted by the vigilant Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leadership.
Modi was elected from Varanasi in 2014 with a margin of three lakh and odd votes. When the Election Commission later undertook the task of revision of electoral rolls in Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency, over six lakh forgeries in the electoral rolls were discovered.
Perhaps sensing the manipulations in Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency, AAP and Congress Party leaders complained to the Election Commission about the bogus entries in the voters’ lists before the Delhi Assembly elections but the Election Commission did not pay attention to their complaints. The matter was then raised before the Delhi High Court which pulled up the Election Commission and asked it what action it had taken on the allegation about the presence of a large number of bogus voters in various Assembly constituencies of the national capital.
Only then the Election Commission made a move and detected over 1.2 lakh bogus voters in the electoral lists of Delhi. Narendra Modi’s party, which had done ‘so well’ in the ok Sabha elections only a few months earlier, suffered the worst ever imaginable defeat in the Delhi Assembly elections.
The atmosphere of insecurity among the minorities created on the eve of the Bihar Assembly elections might also have alienated a large sections of the peace-loving people of all castes and creeds from the BJP. The abusive language used by several BJP leaders, most notably by Narendra Modi and Amit Shah also militated against the chances of the BJP. To say that those who would vote against the BJP would be trying to please Pakistan betrayed only mental sickness of BJP president Amit Shah.
An offshoot of the Bihar Assembly elections is the new lease of political life given to discredited Lalu Prasad Yadav by the most absurdly handled poll campaign by the BJP leaders. The alliance of Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad Yadav turned out to be a deadly combination for the BJP leaders to handle. Soft-spoken Nitish Kumar enjoys the confidence of the majority of the people for his simplicity and his zeal to do something for the common man. He could not be expected to stand up to Narendra Modi’s mostly irrelevant jibes. It was left to Lalu to reply to Modi in his own boorish language which the Yadav leader did brilliantly.
