2019 is only Modi Effect
After the general election, there see a lot of frustration and self righteous rage among intellectual hubris and liberals who predicted doom of BJP. The Modi effect was suffice to score over all other agenda.
At the outset, many myths are to be set apart. Clamours over voting machine were proved futile as no variations happened with the count of VVPATs. Second, communal politics was not the sole reason for BJP resurgence as around 10% increase of muslim vote share of BJP has observed. Thirdly, BJP votes increased in the categories like overall 6%, rural 10%, SC/ST 17 % and farmers 5 %. By and large all caste equations went wrong especially in UP - the gateway to Delhi.
The big reason behind the BJP sweep is that this election was purely a 'Presidential style electoral campaign' where people could see only MODI as a their leader. The scattered opposition terribly failed to project a national leader as an alternative to MODI.
The Hindu Lokniti survey revealed that one of every three of those who voted for BJP would have voted differently if Modi not been the PM candidate. In the case of supporters of other NDA alliance, a fourth said that if not for the PM they would not have voted for the party.
BJP is an ethno national party, infact with the exception of UP and Chhatisgarh entire central and north India is now firmly in the thrall of BJP leaving no space for any opposition. It's is a fact that having a cadre structure, BJP and RSS wrere strategically worked at grassroots to assure that developmental schemes are reached at people. Many takers of gas, toilet, bank account, farm benefit scheme etc. were seen cheering for Modi that turned to votes.
Though Balakot attack was not directly influenced voters, the emerged nationalists thoughts certainty boosted the persona and leadership capability of Modi to a large extent. BJP cleverly handled media to get rid from negative spread of the party and Modi. Also, when opposition deralied in uniting against BJP, Amit Sha the Chanakyan of BJP succeed to tie key alliances. But, the weak opposition certainly triggered the surge of NDA. Being the ruling party, there was no dearth for fund in NDA.
The 'chowkidar' campagin was seen not accepted by the mass as people perceived Modi as a honest man with no lucrative personal ambitions. Still he managed to win the populace with his charisma.
Modi during second term see more as a minority focused. Yet, RSS is at the top gear and Modi supposed to yield to the Hindutwa agenda. Let's wait and watch whether Modi and Amit Shah duo continue with destabilizing constitutional establishments by saffronizing the country. At last we need an inclusive, equitable and sustainable India where secularism prevails.
