Looks like downfall of BJP started with missing the bus by a fraction in Karnataka.  Results of four parliament and eleven assembly seats across the Nation gave a jolt to BJP which failed to retain most of the seats won by it earlier.

TIME IS RIPE FOR PRESIDENT OF INDIA TO INTERVENE AND SAVE DEMOCRACY  In TN 18 MLAs were unceremoniously disqualified by speaker without any valid reason and without giving them chance to make an appeal with speaker office. In Telangana, TDP and Few congress MLAs defected to TRS and one of them even became minister. In AP 21 YSRCP MLAs defected to TDP and four of them became ministers.

Now same speaker acted at jet speed and disqualified the MLAs to ensure stability of KP government in TN and to ensure AIADMK joining NDA govt at centre. This is real sad day for...
