Re : nazarhayatkhan # 1

I think the TV channels still have it wrong. Its just a swing of 2% of votes that changed the results in India. The biggest blow was the loss in AP. As much as I hate the BJP I must say that they did great things for the Indian economy. The Indian per capita income has grown over 20% under BJP rule.


Regards,

Faruk

It is surprising how the International TV channels suddenly changed their tone the very next day.

They were suddenly talking about the farmers, or how only 15% of the population had benefitted from the recent growth, or how few hundred million still lived below the poverty line.

The BJP Government had indeed succesfully conveyed its message and had convinced most of the ordinary TV viewers like us about its achievements.

But Dost-Mitter and Farzana did once in while give us a peep into the other side of the story.
