*Until 1958 there are no secular or at least moderately religious conservative opponents to the INC. While the BJP are undiluted neoliberals in comparison to the post-1984 Thirdist INC, I won't vote for rabid ultranationalist fundamentalists who stir up ethnic ctrife.
Хahar 🤔:
This is the sort of question that can't be easily answered because of the multitude of parties and coalitions and the fact that no party has a candidate in every constituency. I would have been for Nehru throughout his time; apart from his being a great man, the only opposition was C. Rajagopalachari's ridiculous Brahmin neoliberal outfit, for which of course I wouldn't be caught dead voting. I would have been for Indira in 1971, certainly, but just as certainly I would be for the Janata Party after the Emergency. The Emergency would have also ruled out the Communist Party of Indira, just as the war in 1971 ruled out the traitorous fifth column that called itself CPI(M). After the fall of Desai it's hard to say; certainly I would never vote for the BJP or their ilk. Hindutva holds no appeal to me, for obvious reasons. The fact that the Congress is a monarchist party bothers me, but I suppose I would end up voting for Congress and allies anyhow. It would depend on constituency, though.

Who would you vote for in Bengal?
If I lived in Delhi, I would vote for INC or perhaps the BJP. In 1999 I certainly might have. In Bengal I would vote INC and after the split, Trinamool Congress. I would not under any circumstance vote for the CPM or any of the caste parties.
