A HUGE BLOW FOR MODI, AMIT SHAH AND YOGI
The shameful defeat of the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party in 3 of the four parliamentary and several legislative by polls in the country has confirmed to the core that the Modi and Yogi charisma is expeditiously fading out and the electorates of the country are slowly and steadily losing confidence in the saffron party, always believing in polarising votes on majoritarianism than actually bringing results on the ground. It seems that the anti BJP opposition parties’ accusations and charge against the Modi government and the prime minister that it’s a party of rhetorics than fulfilling the pre poll promises has actually started showing results at the hustings.

The logic put forth by the senior BJP leaders that since the prime minister Narendra Modi and the BJP chief Amit Shah usually don’t take much interest in the by polls’ campaigning and therefore the responsibilty of the BJPs’ loss can’t be attributed to the fading image of prime minister Narendra Modi (as claimed by the anti BJP opposition) is not a logic that satisfies the political analysts of the country. It’s just like the hindi proverb or muhavra ” Khisiyani Billi Khamba Noche or ” Angoor Khatte Hain” for the BJP leaders after these shameful blow.

The fact of the matter is that the credibility of the prime minister Narendra Modi and the over confident and fiesty Amit Shah is on a fast downward slide as both these leaders and the entire ruling party government has been banking on mere rhetorics and false promises than satisfying the electorates of the country by delievering them.

The government seems to have completely failed on several important fronts like controlling inflation, increasing petro products prices, complete lack of employment, decreasing growth rate, increasing farmers suicides, distressed agrarian sector, increasing sufferings of the small and medium entrepreneurs, lack of opportunities for women in terms of their socio economic empowerment, failure of the government on the women safety front, deteriorating health, educational and economic sectors and enhanced fiscal controls on the middle class as well as the entire business community of the country. Not only thus but the obnoxious incidents of shameful rapes and brutal murders of the minors and the women are also on the rise with no hope of any relief.

The farmers of the country are badly annoyed and furious for want of farm loan wavers and non fixation of adequate procurement prices for their produce as promised during the 2014 national elections and thereafter in various assembly elections. And above all the prime minister’s umpteen foreign tours have irked the countrymen as the government seems to have failed in the domestic front on various pivotal issues. In addition to these shortcomings, the youths of the country foresee their bleak future.

The gap between the haves and have not has widened immensely with the rich becoming richer and the poor poorer. There had been no progress on bringing black money stashed in fireign banks and depositing lacks of rupees in the bank acciunts of the countrymen.

The antagonism on the part of the countrymen, particularly the minorities due to the widespread communal hatred environment and the dalits of the country compounded with the disenchantment of the people of the forward castes has finally exhibited their collective annoyance in the by elections of Phoolpur and Sitapur in UP and prior to these in the by elections of two parliamentary seats in Rajasthan finally, followed by the ruling party BJP’s shameful defeat in Kairana and three other parliamentary constituencies of the country out of total four including (in) several other legislative seats.

The defeat in Kairana parliamentary constituency and Noorpur at the hands of the SP and RLD supported by the combined anti BJP opposition parties like the BSP, Congress and the Samajwadi party including the left has made one thing absolutely and transparently clear that the days of the BJP and its NDA allies are gone and 2019 would not be easy for Narendra Modi, his saffron party and the NDA.

The incessant defeat of the saffron party in the bypolls in UP and other parts of the country are definitely a warning signal for prime minister Narendra Modi in particular on whose shoulder the entire saffron party, its leaders and the NDA is banking for the 2019 election’s outstanding success.

The possibility of the combined anti BJP credible opposition unity has made it absolutely clear that if they really unite honestly and with transparency forgetting their squeezed and vested political interest and make calculated amicable seat adjustments at all the state level set ups on various parliamentary seats formidably and comprehensively against the mighty BJP and its invincible leader Narendra Modi they would be for sure a very powerful and formidable force in the 2019 general elections, come what may. What’s your take friends?
