Victory

Woes next door

The victory of Mohamed Muizza in the presidential election in Maldives aroused considerable interest as well as concern in India because of his avowed pro-China policy.

How BJP successfully managed the electoral battle

But as in any electoral battle, what really matters in the end is which party won. Four of the five states will see the BJP governments again. It was obviously Narendra Modi’s magic that seems to have brought the saffron party back to power in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur.

Emphatic victory

As she savours the triumph, Mamata Banerjee has been notably gracious ~ “Me and my party are yet again in boundless gratitude to the people. Celebrate these victories in peace, without getting trapped in provocation of any sort.” The BJP has been routed, most importantly in urban centres where it had performed well during the Assembly elections last summer.
