🚨 Tamil Nadu just exposed BJP’s playbook for destroying democracy.
TVK won 108 seats. 35% vote share. 1.7 crore votes. The single largest party in a 234-seat house by a massive margin. The people spoke with absolute clarity.
BJP got 1 MLA from Tamil Nadu. They lost the mandate comprehensively. But through a centrally-appointed Governor with an RSS background, they are attempting to hold the state’s democratic transition hostage.
Governor Arlekar refused to invite Vijay for oath. Demanded he “prove majority at Raj Bhavan” - a condition that exists nowhere in the Constitution.
Article 164 says the Governor shall appoint the CM who commands confidence. Not “after proving it to me in private.”
The Supreme Court in Rameshwar Prasad v. Union of India (2006) was crystal clear; Governors cannot act as agents of the Centre to destabilize or delay popularly elected governments. This isn’t grey area. This is settled law.
Remember Karnataka 2018? Yeddyurappa (BJP) had 105 seats; fewer than Vijay today. The BJP-appointed Governor invited him immediately. No conditions. No “prove your numbers first.”
Maharashtra 2019? Fadnavis was sworn in at 5:30 AM without a majority. The country woke up to a fait accompli. No Governor demanded signatures upfront then. Rules change when BJP is the beneficiary.
This is the same party that used Governors in Goa, Manipur, and Meghalaya to bypass the single largest party and hand power to BJP-friendly coalitions. Tamil Nadu is just the latest chapter.
This is not about Vijay. This is not about TVK. This is about whether the people’s mandate means anything in Narendra Modi’s India, or whether a Delhi-appointed Governor can simply override 1.7 crore voters.
The Constitution is not BJP’s property. Federalism is not their gift to give or take.
Tamil Nadu’s voters deserve better. And every Indian watching this should be afraid, because today it’s Tamil Nadu, tomorrow it could be your state. 🇮🇳
@ShivAroor Time for India to abolish the Governor post.
Governors cost the public over ₹700 crore annually & live in the biggest palaces of any state.
They serve NO function that cannot be handled by existing institutions.
End this colonial nonsense. 😀
Well done @anuragdhanda.
This needs to be clearly spoken.
BJP is trying to use national security issue as poll issue by allowing Pakistan to operate in Punjab.
Amit Shah must know that this is punjab and punjabis know how to neutralize BJP
महाराष्ट्र चुनाव 2024
मालशिरस विधानसभा सीट से शरद पवार के कैंडिडेट की जीत हुई.
लेकिन इस विधानसभा में एक गांव है- मार्कडवाडी. गांव के लोग कट्टर वाले शरद पवार का समर्थक हैं.
गांव के लोगों ने कहा- BJP को 100 वोट मिलना मुश्किल था, लेकिन EVM में 1003 वोट मिले.
फिर गांव वाले अपने स्तर पर बैलेट पेपर से वोटिंग करने में लग गए. पूरी तैयारी कर ली, ताकि दूध का दूध और पानी का पानी हो जाए.
बैलेट पेपर से वोटिंग पूरी तैयारी थी, लेकिन प्रशासन ने रोक लगा दी.
अब आप सोचिए - गांव वालों को बैलेट पेपर से वोटिंग करने से क्यों रोका गया.
इससे न सरकार बन रही थी, न ही सरकार गिर रही थी. बस EVM में पड़े वोट और बैलेट पेपर में पड़े वोट का मिलान हो जाता.
इस बात से क्या नुकसान था?
Punjab AAP has 96 MLAs which sent 7 RS MPs to put party & gov interests in the parliament in centre gov !!
Now, 7 of these MPs have joined BJP & will represent BJP interests in parliament which has just 2 MLAs in Punjab.
Its Joke on the name of democracy in India under Mosha.
I called Aditya Dhar a BJP propagandist 3 months ago.
Now everyone will see it. It was subtle in the previous film, but he went so blatant this time in overconfidence. Remember how I said, well-made propaganda is more dangerous? Ab toh well-made bhi nahi raha. Lol
Nitish Kumar Reddy can’t bat.
Washington Sundar can’t bowl.
But they got selected, and Axar Patel, who can bat and bowl better than both, got dropped.
What a clown BCCI has become. 🤡
