Ab Ki Baar , Soch Vichar: Why BJP needs to introspect, adjust –

• How fabulous is democracy How it can bring in fresh air Opinion polls just before campaigning predicated the BJP-LED National Democracy Alliance would increase seats though it could fall short of its 400 paar target and Prime Minister Narendra Damodar Das Modi had an approval rating of 74% besideits Exit polls, taken after polling also gave NDA up to 400seats . How then did BJP end up with just 240seasts ,with its coalition scraping though to small majority on two crutches called Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu ?

Beside is;

• Let BJP reflect and adjust, Above all, let it learn how counter -productive is the curbing of dissent in the media .Media criticism is never pleasant to swallow ,but it reveals realities that ‘godi media’ will hide .fear prompts bogus praise and the illusion of universal support ,while dissenters and critics keep silent , believing that discretion is the better part of valour , the greater the fear, the more misleading are opinion and popularity polls and then the truth comes out only in a secret ballot.
• Election have a habit of taking the sheen off even the most seasoned of politicians and Recently, Modi said in a TV interview : “I am convinced that ‘Parmatma’ (god) sent me for a purpose or He does not reveal his cards ,just keeps making me do things, These results have shown Modi as just one more mortal politician, undoubtedly a very talented and successful one, but a mortal, nevertheless.

And;

Despite liberal rejoicing ,the bottom line is that BJP is here for five years, with a chance to win another five years in 2029, and but we will not get simultaneous elections for the center and states and we will not get removal of references to secularism from the constitution we will not get a Hindu state and Gone are the days when govt could rush through Bills in Parliament with minimum or o debate.
