    Obviously this is not about Gujarati people. They are just the same people as anywhere else in India.

    I have specifically mentioned Gujarati billionaires. You know which guys I am talking about.

    There are many recent incidents to think of which points in a similar direction.

    In Varanasi the livelihood of small boaters is being taken away by large steamers owned by Gujarati billionaires.

    In Ayodhya 4500 houses and shops of poor people were bulldozed to build five star hotels owned by Gujarati property tycoons.

    In Ahmedabad the biggest semiconductor plant is being built predominantly funded by tax money and low interest loans from Public sector banks but owned by Adani. I mean they literally own the country at this point and if you are paying taxes you are working for them.

    Yeah it's embarrassing that they lost assembly elections in Karnataka to congress and are still able to comeback.

    MP is understandable. Just like UP they don't have a strong state identity and their caste and religion takes centerstage.

    MP was congress stronghold until a few years ago when BJP bought some MLAs and installed shivraj singh chauhan

    Since then they are running hate campaigns continuously. So MP has become the new UP. It's not surprising they got every MP seat.

    UP people have become wiser. Bihar, MP and Rajasthan have gone backwards.

    What I am afraid of is if they are able turn MP into Gujarat, then they may not need UP anymore. The signs of this are visible in what they tried to do with Indore seat.

    The trend shows Hindutva bandwagon shifting south.

    Gujarat is BJP monopoly. Legislature, executive, judiciary, media, law enforcement, education, businesses, they control everything and nobody wants another Gujarat.

    77 years to be precise.

    Yes as well as to help uplift the majority of the poor to the middle class.

    If most of the poor becomes an educated middle class and most of them become electorally active then the government cannot win elections just by distribution of freebies months before elections.

    They have to work on middle class problems for affordable and good quality healthcare and education, sanitation, transportation, potable water, 24 hour power supply.

    The few poor that are still left out will also be able to have a better standard of living owing to these services.
