BJP Vs Congress: Political war on internet
BJP and Congress now decided to fight on internet. In an unprecedented instance, Bharatiya Janata Party sent legal notice to Congress party for diverting website traffic by buying a domain name which is similar to official website of BJP. According to this, BJP lost huge traffic as internet users misleaded by BJP.com. Official website of BJP: www.bjp.org BJP complaint: Congress party diverted traffic to www.congress.org.in (Congress party official site) by buying domain www.bjp.com. Due to this, when an internet user typed bjp.com in the address bar, he will go to official website of Congress party. But, as per latest data, bjp.com is still available for sale and there is no diversion of traffic to Congress website. Comment: I don’t think Congress party resorts to such cheap tactics. It might have been done by domain owner in order to propel BJP to buy bjp.com. Only time will reveal the truth - whether this incident occurred due to BJP’s ignorance or Congress’s cheap tactics. But, this is definitely an interesting development in the Indian political history and also an interesting case in Indian domain history. It is time for political parties to use experts in this field to deal with such developments. How to proceed in such instances? 1. Send complaint notice to domain registrar with details about illegal activity of domain owner. Request the registrar to give details of domain owner. Generally, registrars do not respond. 2. Repeat the same process through an investigation agency. Registrars should respond as per law. Take action against domain owner if Law pemits. Simple solution: Buy the domain … [Read more...]

Karnataka election results: BJP and JD (S) swept by-polls
BJP swept the Karnataka By-polls by winning 5 seats while JD (S) won 3 assembly seats. Congress failed to win even a single seat in the by-elections. BJP now has absolute strength (115 members) in the 224-member Assembly. The by-polls were held after 3 Congress and 4 JD(S) MLAs resigned from the assembly to join the BJP. This is a huge blow to Congress Party despite having cadre strength in at least 5 constituencies. Effective strength of BJP is now at 121 (6 independent MLAs are supporting BJP). By-elections for 8 Karnataka by-elections were held on December 27th in a tense atmosphere (stability Vs defectors). But BJP comfortably won the majority number of seats to regain absolute majority in the Assembly. Voters voted for “defectors” mean they want stable Government. BJP should utilise this chance to gain strength in this South Indian state. Caste, Money and liquor played significant role in the outcome of by-polls. Congress- self goals: 1. Lack of coordination in the Congress camp helped BJP and JD (S) to clean sweep the Assembly by-elections. 2. Congress released candidate list in the last minute. 3. Lingayats are now with BJP while Vokkaligas are with JD (S). Congress fails to plan a new strategy despite knowing this hard fact. Congress needs to do caste re-engineering to make progress in Karnataka vote bank politics. Surprise: Kumaraswamy and his wife are the first couple in the Karnataka Assembly. Bad news: M.D. Lakshminarayan, the BJP candidate in Turuvekere, suffered a heart attack after hearing his defeat news. He collapsed in the counting centre. He was ahead of his rival JD (S) candidate till the final round of counting. … [Read more...]
