The BJP has taken 4 out of the 5 states . Rahul, Akhilesh and Mayawati have failed miserably by just concentrating on Modis name while Modi campaigned in gali , gali in the name of development.The verdict of March 11, 2017 has given rise to the slogan ‘Just chant Modi’s name and given a resounding defeat to the entire Opposition. The challenge before the prime minister now is to deliver on his promises. At the same time, the Opposition has to gather the confidence to return to the political dangal.
With the elections in Gujarat and Himachal round the corner, both sides will have very little time to put their plans into action. For Rahul Gandhi, the road to reviving the Congress’s lost glory is long and hard. The Aam Aadmi Party will have to do a rethink on its strategy. They fought the elections in Punjab with a lot of sound and fury.
A discussion on Mayawati is needed . Her graph has been falling since 2012. Now she is shifting the blame of her loss on to electronic voting machines. She just switched sides from Brahmins to Muslims and she failed. When it comes to the Samajwadi Party,the election results have proved that Akhilesh Yadav’s hard work has proved futile. Even along with the Congress, the party could not win 100 seats in Uttar Pradesh.
Along with Amit Shah the credit for this landslide victory also goes to Narendra Modi. Almost three years into his tenure, he hasn’t let even a stain of corruption taint the government’s record.
It is Modi’s magic that the voters’ confidence in him hasn’t been shaken despite the hardships faced by them owing to demonetisation.The miracle of 2014 is repeating itself. Amit Shah looked at politics with a new perspective. He knew the minorities won’t vote for his party. Therefore, not even a single Muslim was given a ticket.
But Modi promised development for all.
