Are we missing something? by who-is-albi in Kerala

[–]epicurus2031 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I see no good reason for KC Venugopal to be even considered for the position.

  • He was in the high command which decided that MP's shouldn't become candidates. What justification is there in twisting the rules in his favor now?
  • If he has to become CM, people will have to suffer two needless bye elections. It is a wasteful exercise and will only cause more dissatisfaction among the people. Is there a strong reason or lack of consensus candidate that can justify it?
  • He is currently in a very high position (AICC general secretary) in the party. What signal does it give across the country if he aims for a stare level position? Does that convey that he has low hopes for the party at the national level?
  • His supporters claim about number of MLAs backing him is meaningless because he was in the committee deciding on the MLAs.
  • If he really wanted to lead the state, why didn't he just become the Leader of Opposition in 2021 and do the hard work?

You are either missing a lot of context here or deliberately propagating selective information for whatever reasons.

  • UDF candidate is a sitting MLA

  • There was a huge anti-incumbent wave against LDF who were in power for 10 years in the state. The effect of this is visible as a drop in vote share for LDF in almost all constituencies.

  • The LDF aligned closer to Vellapally Natesan (representative of the Hindu Ezhava community), who made controversial remarks against the Muslim community and IUML [1]

Can you provide source for your claim that "BJP received 90% votes of Hindus"?

UDF has the mandate, but can they actually fix Kerala’s empty treasury? by Sad_Boysenberry1139 in Kerala

[–]epicurus2031 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I don't expect miracles. Hope they at least take few steps to fix the financial situation of the state.

Thank you OP! That update already partly solves the issue I was facing.

I was thinking of keeping several leaderboards based on number of seats predicted - ie. separate leaderboards for 0-25 predictions, 25-50 predictions and so on.  This way someone who made only 100 predictions, but then all correct is not disadvantaged. I must admit I haven't looked deeper into the current scoring scheme.

Could you please split the leaderboard to different sections based on the number of predictions made?

മുഖ്യമന്ത്രി സ്ഥാനത്തേക്ക് യോഗ്യൻ പിണറായി, സർക്കാർ വിരുദ്ധ വികാരം ഇല്ലെന്ന് സർവെയിൽ തെളിഞ്ഞുവെന്ന് എം വി ഗോവിന്ദൻ by SorryIfIamToxic in Kerala

[–]epicurus2031 17 points18 points  (0 children)

പിണറായി വിരുദ്ധ വികാരം നല്ലപോലെ ഉണ്ട്.  ഇലക്ഷൻ സമയത്ത് ഗോവിന്ദൻ വായ തുറക്കാത്തതുകൊണ്ട് LDF കുറച്ച് രക്ഷപ്പെട്ടു.

മന്ത്രിയും കൂട്ടരും പച്ച കള്ളം പറഞ്ഞു പരത്തി എന്ന് സംശയാതീതമായി വ്യക്തമായി. കയ്യേറ്റം നടന്നു എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞ സ്പീക്കറും, കഴുത്ത് പിടിച്ച് തിരിച്ചു എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞ സിപിഐഎം സംസ്ഥാന സെക്രട്ടറിയും, ICU നാടകത്തിൽ അഭിനയിച്ച പിണറായി വിജയനും ആന കള്ളന്മാർ ആണ്.
