Modi is not really neoliberal at all. He is more of a statist and economic nationalist like Putin or de Gaulle. Take the Tariffs against Amazon and co. for example. His only substantial achievement in terms of economic reform has been GST and that was simply a rollover from Singhs Governement. The one thing he really has in common with Thatcher however is that both used a military conflict to win reelection when both have only questionable economic success in their first term.

NDA mostly seems to be in line with expectations where third parties are strong, but BJP overperforming massively where there is no third party and in the Hindi-Hindu belt.
Esp. Rajasthan, Gujarat, Karnataka and MP seem way off when considering the assembly elections, unless there was significant vote spitting (voting INC regionally and BJP nationally).

Rahul Gandhi is still trailing in Amethi. And why are NDTV pundits taking Telengana results at face value?

India vote share:
NDA: 45%
UPA: 30%
Others: 25%

Four BJP seats in Telengana almost secure now. If there is anything that i would not have expected, it is that. It shows that the BJP has managed to penetrate the dravidian south outside of karnataka (where the BJP is at 25/28, and where the Cong-JD(S) Government is probably dead). The BJP is truly a national Party now, which is all the more remarkable considering its hindi-hindu-hindustan campaign. Also the Congress is on 55(+11) right now, almost 60% of the UPAs seats are from Kerala and TN.

Anti-muslim Terrorist Pragya Singh Thakur has won by more than 200000 Votes for the BJP in Bhopal.
She is charged with a series of bombings that killed six people and injured more than 100.

Imagine if the Congress had run Masood Azhar as a candidate.
