The outcome of the 2018 assembly elections in the Hindi heartland reinforces one major aspect of the electoral journey of BJP under Narendra Modi and Amit Shah: the duo has not been able to retain a single state, with Gujarat as a reluctant exception and Goa was not exactly a victory.
We were warned by sympathisers about the charisma of Narendra Modi and the management skills of Amit Shah. But several myths have been blown away. The myth of the invincibility of the so-called brand Modi lies in tatters. That elections can be delivered solely through management and machinery, is another urban legend that has come crashing down. |
