A Win Is A Win

Yes, I was expecting a more significant win. After all the development work — from free rations to highways, homes to toilets, cooking gas to drinking water, GDP to FDI — the multifaceted and continuous development saga of Modi Sarkar never ceases to overwhelm you. But the results proved one thing, which maybe even the Modi-Shah duo was unaware of.

  1. It’s truly disheartening to witness the triumph of falsehoods over truth. The orchestrated narrative of ‘Constitutional in danger, reservation in danger’ led to a significant setback in UP, preventing them from securing an absolute majority. It’s almost unfathomable that they even lost the city of Ayodhya.
  2. In India, a majority of the population still votes around caste and not development. No wonder Congress has ruled the nation for 50 years.
  3. RSS has deep roots, and ignoring it cost them dearly. With RSS, they could have saved UP and Maharashtra.
  4. The yardstick should l's competence, not their proximity to the top man. After the loss in the Himachal Pradesh state election, JP Nadda needed to be held accountable. His continued presence is a liability, without a doubt.
  5. Contrary to popular belief, BJP’s communication is far from being precise and articulate. Their spokespersons are a lot of bumbling idiots with little or no debating skills. This time, Congress’s communication was more pointed and effective.
  1. Modi is not BJP, and there is much more to the party than Modi alone.
  2. Rising prices and unemployment are serious issues that need to be addressed.
  3. Let washing machines be used for clothes, not tainted politicians. Having every corrupt and disgruntled politician from every other political party, Chavan, Nawab Malik, Ajit Pavar etc. has deeply impacted the image of BJP.
  4. Assuming that anyone on the BJP ticket would win, courtesy Modi’s charisma, was a hypothesis that has cost them dearly. Party, candidate and narrative are all required to create the winning magic.
  5. Conventional media is almost extinct; YouTube is the new powerhouse. If Congress knew this, how did the BJP miss it?

Modi ji, I am still with you and will be with you. The nation needs you. From China to the US, Germany to Iran, every country is scared of our growth and stance. Let us not let the overseas agenda hijack our success saga. And yes, a win is a win.
