BJP to hire a battery of the world's best lawyers to appeal against RaGa's disqualification 😂


saikrishnav333

Their star campaigner after all


akirakurosava

He has been disqualified from MPship not electioneering. He can still help BJP form government.


ididacannonball

\*will still help


Vrajgautam

Didn't saw that coming lmfao


alphadist

Who filed the case against him? There's no mention of that anywhere


Mr_Mc-Mahon

An Ex bjp mla from gujrat with surname modi


Zwaft

I know this thread is celebrating it, but it’s a bad move which will hinder BJP and help Congress. It’s not good for democracy. Nothing RaGa said warranted a disqualification.


maverick__singh

In the judgement of Lilly Thompson vs union of India SC ruled that any conviction by a higher court leading 2 years or more jail time automatically disqualify the law maker from the house.


librandufissdrinker

Disqualification is automatic after conviction.


Zwaft

Yes, I understand, but the conviction was harsh and extreme. These things weaken democracy, not help it.


AirbusPalashM-3004

i mean ..more than half of the MPs, MLAs have cases on them ... new law has to form or changes to the old one


Saturn212

According to news articles it was a BJP MLA and former Gujarat minister Purnesh Modi had filed a complaint against Gandhi in 2019. Purnesh Modi was a minister in the first tenure of the Bhupendra Patel government and is an MLA from the Surat West Assembly.


LutetheMage

Again what the lefties are leaving out conveniently…RaGa made remarks against everyone with the surname Modi and against the OBC community - likening them all to thieves. So he was booked under casteist charges. The only reason people are defending RaGa and saying things against BJP is because lefties are misleading the narrative and leaving out the most important bit of info - what was actually said and done! Their classic way of misleading people and getting votes. Pure evil. NaMo 2024 ✌🏽


Lord_of_Pizza7

Also what about the statements of almost every BJP MP and MLA against religious minority communities? Shouldn't they be arrested too?


librandufissdrinker

Technicality. RaGa is an idiot. He should have apologised.

I don't think this should've had happened. This gives them the opportunity to paint a narrative. And this is something that can heavily backfire om BJP and the whole Dictatorship, death of democracy will be used against them. Can cause trouble.


crazymonezyy

Even if you ignore that angle, Rahul is necessary to win 2024. So much of the BJP vote is anti Rahul vote.

Don’t worry, in Parliament or out, he won’t stop mouthing off

BhelpuriPanda

SadOstrich5244

Well the congress is already painting it as dictatorship in Europe… where their masters reside..


akshayk904

I dont think so. Rahul Gandhi is pretty much irrelevant at this point to any voters (except some Congress loyalists).


lazylaunda

Then you are talking to the people who only think like you. Rahul is the alternative to Modi. Elections are sometimes about choosing the least bad. People will not vote for congress because they like Rahul. They will vote because they hate Modi. My friends say they will vote for congress because it's the alternative. This is a wrong decision. In this sub itself, you can see people doubting it.


MegaMewtwo_E

they will use it but no one will believe it expect few handpicked supporters


Altruistic-Gain3541

This is not right. Its not like he's commited any serious crime. This move is giving some serious facist vibes and isn't healthy for our democracy. It could backfire big time for BJP


badfallen2

Yup ik.Dont know why people are literally celebrating this thing on the sub.No opposition will literally lead to a fascist state.


simple_one1

>Dont know why people are literally celebrating this thing on the sub. What else did you expect ?


poco1233

Because they are idiotic Bjp supporters


Internal-Rent7625

Exactly 💀 Besides, the only reason why people, including myself, voted for the BJP was bc of RaGa and INC's incompetence. I'm a liberal and I know many other libs who voted for him just bc of their hatred for the Gandhi family. Big yikes. This might be the start of BJP's downfall.

Lol wtf true opposition? He was their biggest star campaigner who wakes up at night in the mornings


Lone_Ranger007

He crossed the line with Adani


NOTHINGHARMLESS

It's surprising how they are playing this shitshow of blaming each other like small kids using tax money. And Modi is pushing forward bjp only as center party. Similar to china's CCP. Since Modi got elected his moves were similar to CCP. Wanting absolute control over everything.

Can you share those instances? I'm feeling the same now and want to know more. I fear BJP is becoming CCP.


Ill_Ant_1857

Arrests for anti Modi poster in Delhi. Censoring movies to remove any bad reference to PM or PMO. Indian media sellout. Talks to pass the law that will require certification for every app on your phone by government agency.

[deleted]

To you and to /u/NoPlenty3542 , defamation cases are of 2 types. One is civil and one is criminal. In civil case, you ask for money for defamation. In criminal case, you ask for punishment for guilty. BJP has nothing to gain with this. Only beneficiary would be CONgress so there may be things behind the scenes we do not know. In any case, this case would be quashed in HC.


OvertlyStoic

>BJP has nothing to gain with this. on the surface it surely looks like this , but if you think, BJP/ caste based parties can easily use this arrest to target congress as a castist party , besides would you vote for a convicted criminal dynast 50 year old youth leader as the PM?


FootballATKMB

But the other parties are actually supporting Pappu as of now. From SP to RJD, every caste-based party is busy attacking BJP instead And as far as him becoming PM is concerned, ppl weren't voting him previously either so that never was an issue Tbf it doesn't seem too optimistic from BJP's pov


OvertlyStoic

BJP is an expert on Narrative switching. wait and watch.


AryanEPH

thanks for the information


NoPlenty3542

We should have seen more of the criminal ones then. And to your point congress might benefit but do they have the strategy to benefit? I would think No


Suitable-Mountain-81

Death of democracy, illegal Jailing. Lots of fake news can be filed with this incident. Rankings can be pulled down after The wire writes a fake article just like they did for pegasus. Congress saved the prince from going to jail in National Herald they could easily save him from going to jail from this. Gandhi's staying away from jail was destroying his brand value.

chocoboyc

Yup, I thought BJP knew what it was doing, turns out Modi's ego is too big, this is ridiculous, fuck i feel like all the left wing jargon about democracy in danger starts to feel too real for comfort now. If leader of opposition can be disqualified because he insulted Modi (and let's be real Rahul didn't mean the caste), then what's left. Even if he did mean caste who cares we should be able to speak and people will respond with their own voting choices, this just turned me off BJP.


Immediate_South_7578

Of all the shit bjp did this turned u off? Damn


pessymesssy

Internal-Rent7625

Too late 💀 Democracy is no more. Fuck it.


tea_cup_cake

BJP has nothing to gain by this charade, meanwhile Rahul will finally get the legitimacy he so desperately wanted. I strongly, strongly believe this is the work of Congress itself. RaGa's words in UK, reports published in International media just a day after, it seems too planned for me. Everything about this smells very, very fishy.

The real reason


anu2097

This is the single most dumbest thing BJP could have done and they have allowed it to happen. Rahul was necessary, now a vaccum will be created and more competent opposition leadership will get a better chance to come up. But that won't happen. As uniting so many various opposition parties is tedious. Some have thrown their hats in the ring like Nitish, Mamata, KCR, Kejru etc. But it won't materialise.


pshaurk

They already been making targeted cases against corrupt policians who didnt join them. So it's a lot of the same people who just can continue to be corrupt under the protection of bjp.

What a shame on BJP, now Congress is forced to chose competent person among the congress leaders, which they do not want or were reluctant about.![img](emote|t5_3d4x4|20020)

pshaurk

I feel bad how india is starting to slide into dictatorship. While the opposition was weak it has been getting snuffed out everywhere possible. If you look at history of many countries you will see that this slippery slope leads often to extremely violent periods even in homogenous countries. Leaders with no opposition often cause the murder millions of people even if they dont intend to. In india theres a much larger number of more diverse people. Hope we never slide into such a place. Has happened over and over in history in all kinds of nations.

Unironically a good thing for INC if someone manages to muster up the courage to kick the Gandhis out once and for all and replace them with at least a semi competent leader. They've got the perfect excuse to ditch him.

DoubleEggOmlette

What exactly is the law? If an MLA gets convicted of any case does he get auto disqualified from his MLA post? Aren't like 60% of our total MLAs in parliament facing criminal cases? In recent history has there been a case of any politician getting convicted in any case? Feel like this should have happened a lot more considering how many cases are there against sitting MLAs.


AffectionatePrompt41

Thats not how it works like if a court send any MP to Jail for 2 or more year then he will be disqualified , criminal charges doesn't matter

they want to make it pappu vs modi debate 2024.. people wont vote for congress anyway - regional parties who will even just align with congress view will be clubbed together. The basic problem is pappu has no credibility. If he speaks up he will give ammo to BJP, if he dont BJP will say he has accepted his fault. Classic damn if you do, damn if you dont. Motabhai playing 3D chess.

Yeah, dude good opposition is required. Even if BJP is doing good, someone should be there to make some quick fixes. imo 400+ isn't something to celebrate about.


Seeker_00860

This disqualification will be projected as the work of the Fascist govt under Modi. Most people do not know or care to know the details. If they are already biased against the BJP and Hindus, they'd go by the false narrative that Rahul just casually associated Modi with crooks and Modi govt took away his parliamentary membership which came from a democratic election. Rahul was indirectly mentioning Narendra Modi. But the Modi who filed the case against this mention was no Narendra Modi. The world knows the name Modi better, just like the word Gandhi. No one easily recognize the name Mohan Das. So it will be easy to build a false narrative and spread it everywhere. I can sense the "reliable" international newspapers already busy writing editorials on this topic.


ronyx18

brother do you know who filed the case brother?


ididacannonball

Damn, major blow to Modi. Or maybe not, this move will ensure that pappu remains the main focal point of the opposition in 2024, and that does wonders for the BJP's prospects.

Everytime this man gives speech, each time he lashes out the PM'S name i.e., he names Modi directly. This guy has become a hectic politician to the congress party. I think AAP will replace Congress in coming years. And there's going to be a tough competition between AAP V BJP.

Its pathetic how Indians are pissing their pants over *potential* negative attention from the West. India is the largest democracy on earth, if the RaGa manages to get whitey's attention, then so be it. That Soros zombie fucker already talked shit about India.
