1) Rashid kidwai writing in ndtv.com, says that the CJP “movement ” might boomerang on opposition and not necessarily on BJP.
2) OTHERS have started seeing a new AAP.
3)The point to be considered is that, there is a generation that is rootless and is not connecting to the main stream parties. Will this turn into votes is still a question mark.
4) while the revolts in Sri Lanka and elsewhere (colour revolution ) succeeded ,it failed in Iran and Bangladesh to change the system.
5) It looks increasingly possible to do a TVK type upheaval with media’s help.
I’m not aware of all the details of this issue (haven’t been following) but it seems very counterproductive for the Chief Justice to call unemployed youths “cockroaches”.
I came across this article (while looking for something else):

Rootless and all addicted to sm. Good political parties are built on a strong foundation both ideological and organizational.
Maybe I’m cynical but this seems to be just a flash in the pan. The proverbial two minutes of fame via the sm amplification.

In India, this form of cynicism has become the liberal class’s dominant mode of engagement. Modi’s supporters are dismissed as “bhakts,” caricatured as irrational, unthinking masses. But this gesture, far from being subversive, is a ritual of withdrawal. The liberal does not wish to engage with the forces that produce majoritarian sentiment; rather, they perform their distance from it. What masquerades as critique is in fact resignation—a refusal to confront the ideological terrain upon which the Right has built its mass appeal. ###
The above comming from a dalit’s perspective is interesting.
