  OPERATION SINDOOR ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN SARASIJ MAJUMDER It will be difficult for Pakistan to come out of the loss it suffered in this 4-day KINETIC WAR, fought only in the airspace, involving Fighter Jets, Missiles, and DRONES as attacking weapons. Pakistan claims that J-10C jets, equipped with PL-15 missiles, were used in combat, and that they downed multiple Indian Rafale and other fighter jets. GOI has not accepted any loss of Fighter Jet. No image of Rafael lost is available. GOI is not declaring the HITS it inflicted upon Pakistan. Even then, I have pieced together the information and provided a picture. A. The expenses due to direct losses of HARDWARE may be divided into the following items: - 1.0 Fighter Jets: -- May be 10 Numbers. 4-F16 as a combat loss. 2 Nos. Mirage 2000 and 4 Nos. F16, possibly due to the hit it received when parked on the Air Bases. However, this figure could be more.   Pakistan's retired Air Marshal Masood Akhtar public...

 

THIRUBANTAPURAM, KERALA

POWER SEAT NO--3

ANTI-INCUMBANCY MAY CATCH-UP

 

ELECTION is over, and Die is cast. We are only making post poll assessment.

Reflecting a general trend witnessed across the State, the two Lok Sabha constituencies in Thiruvananthapuram district had a considerable drop in voting percentage. As per the information from the Election Commission of India (ECI) at 8.30 p.m. on 26/04/2024,  the Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha constituency recorded 66.46% polling, while the Attingal constituency recorded 69.40% voting percentage. About 10% less than last time.

We will discuss on the result of  THIRUBANTAPURAM.

Of the 14.30 lakh listed voters in the Thiruvananthapuram constituency, about 9.50 lakh cast their votes on last Friday.

12 Candidates contested. The main contestants are:

1.0 SASHI THAROOR—three times winner. INC

2.0 RAJEEV CHANDRASHEKAR. CABINET MINISTER. BJP

3.0 PANNIAN RAVINDRAN—CPI.

KEY FACTORS

  1. SASHI THAROOR  is 3 times MP from Trivandrum so Anti-Incumbency will work. And he was always busy elsewhere, and in other than political matters.
  2. This is the district in Kerala with highest percentage of UNEMPLOYMENT. The total number of work seekers in Thiruvananthapuram district is 5.2 lakh; of which 3.24 lakh are women and 1.96 lakh men. All of them are eligible VOTERS. The pulse may be clear. People are fed up with no progress, no jobs, and no development in the last 15 years. Youth are increasingly frustrated about the high unemployment rate. People want to hear how an MP, a party, or a leader can transform and improve their lives. That is precisely what the situation is here.
  3. BJP’S vote share is rising since last 3 election, now they have 33% vote share and positioned at a very close 2nd place.
  4. BJP has filed a strong candidate, a cabinet minister Rajeev Chandrasekharan. He is expected to look after the constituency much better than Mr. Tharoor.
  5. Trivandrum has a large Hindu presence and majority of them are General and OBC voters who are backbone of BJP vote bank.
  6. Christian community of Kerala has close ties with RSS and BJP. Few churches have shown support for BJP,  recently, and also they screened Kerala Files in church.
  7. Growing Anti- CPM sentiment in Christian community has developed. A fraction of Christians believe CPM is more into appeasement politics for Muslims so they find BJP as an alternative.

DEMOGRAPHY, AND ELECTORATE.

The Trivandrum Parliament seat is having 66+% of Hindus, mostly OBC & forward castes, Christian 20(-) % and Muslim 13++ % population form the  33 +%.  BJP has a strong base of around 32% of votes in the constituency.

In 2014 BJP scored 31.3%, CPI 25.6% and Cong 41.2%. BJP positioned itself in the second place in the RACE, though Congress won.  Also, the CPI has been relegated to third position which is also a good achievement of BJP, compared to Past.

In 2019 BJP scored 32.32%, CPI 28.5% and Cong 34.1%. Shashi Tharoor polled 2,97,806 and O Rajagopal polled 2,82,336 votes. The margin in 2019 has been too thin.

WHAT EMERGE:-.

In 2024 the fight is even closer between Shashi Tharoor and Rajiv Chandrashekar because the incumbent minister and a former minister are in the fray. The fight between the two has only intensified. In a three way split it may be BJP coming out successful.

In a NAIR against NAIR contest,  Mr. Tharoor may meet his WATERLOO this time.It is most likely that Rajeev Chandrashekar will win this election this time.
