Now, it's left to the INDIA coalition to convince JD(U) and TDP to leave NDA and join on their sides:

  • Nitish Kumar wants a good role to satisfy his ego. I remember how their bargaining failed because he wanted to be the prime minister - which is weird - I mean, a minority ally demanding a higher position is fucking stupid - why would the Congress ditch Mallikarjun Kharge for this doofus? Besides, he's a Hindi imperialist bastard, who can't respect the diversity of culture in India.

    Asserting that Hindi was the national language, Nitish Kumar reportedly launched a tirade against English which he said was imposed by the British; some later speakers switched to English after his outburst.

    He's been offered the role of deputy prime minister, which holds no special status in the Constitution, but parties are free to choose one. I hate this person so much, but there's no choice.

  • TDP might probably demand special status for Andhra Pradesh, because the division of the state into Telangana and Andhra Pradesh resulted in the state losing the city of Hyderabad, which affected the area tremendously - and from that day, they haven't voted INC or it's allies.
