A corrupt Business Model.
BJP (the party under Modi's leadership) allegedly spent 100 billion Rs on advertisement. Like cunning businessman they exploited a loophole in the law; the parties are exempted from disclosing the source of their income!
With this amount of money, every child in India could be educated for free. Imagine that for a second.
The huge spendings, presenting a lipstick-on-a-pig development model of Gujrat[1] and bogus-voting (with many people publicly claiming to do so[2] to no brunt by the law) BJP has won these elections.
The money input allegedly came from businessmen Ambani & Adani. They gained 1.5 billion dollars today itself![3] Adani has quadrupled in value over past 6 months.
A very sad day for the minorities indeed. But India is so huge that even if a thousand die, people are unaffected. People have a very weak memory and any deed, howsoever bad, is easily forgotten within days. Add to that the ignorance of people to indirect influence of any event; people wont respond until they get the heat directly. I have lost hope. I feel I don't understand the majority of my nation.

- abhigupta 12y agoTo put it another way, Majority of Indians don't understand or your share your beliefs either. Simply put, Modi won because Indian people believed he represents a better alternative to anyone out there by wide margin. I find it hard to put much credibility in the above ideas, when it is implied that somehow stock market going up and Ambani and Adani companies increasing their Market Cap is caused by them potentially donating money to an opposition candidate in an election and caused for concern!
- chaofguan 12y agoMods , please take this post. This is blatant hatred.
- kefka 12y agoJust because you do not agree does not make it hatred.
- datacog 12y agoThis is a very biased comment, with incomplete details. Most of this comment seems to be based on paranoia and twisted media reports.
- kang 12y agoThose who do not agree please consider this as a work of fiction and just ignore.
