New Delhi
Delhi has voraciously voted for AamAdmi Party and elected Arvindkejrival as its CM for next 5 years. But the big take from the results does not lie in the promises that were made by AAP; rather it lies within the BJP.
Delhi assembly polls were an open battlefield where both faces of BJP were putting up the fight together, and today’s results clearly show that the better one lost the polls. Since the time PM Modi registered historic win in General Elections 2014 and sworn in as Pradhan Sewak of India, a clear divide between two factions of the party are being noticed, by all.
One that is dreaming, working, putting up efforts and developing India through bullet trains, smart cities and connecting – communicating freely through social media, under the leadership of Narendra Damordas Modi. And the other is still not ready to leave its ultra-medieval (that sounds cynical to today’s generations) approach and promotes Hindus having four kids, @#$#zadas, and beat the bush around all those things that are not only non-sensical but does not signify itself with the progress of civilization.
Many analysts have been saying this Modi does not have enemies outside; rather he is continuously bombarded with enemies within his party. Opposition does not care about development and they also do not leave any stone un-turn to weave controversy around any and every opportunity gifted by so called radicals.
Several insignificant and unknown institutions raking up in the name of Hinduism are not only taking away the core support, Hindus from BJP; they are also taking away youth- the biggest supporter of NarendraModi and his development agenda. The support base that dreams big and look towards its PM to deliver ground results for them.
The youth today neither wants to be directed on having a particular number of children nor do they want somebody to put a limit tag on their expression of entertainment (AIB). Youth loves freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of love, freedom of expression. They saw Narendra Modi as a leader who not only will fulfill their dreams but also guide them to realize their duties towards nation, family and themselves. They love when their PM connects through social media and shares thoughts through ‘Man Ki Baat’.
The small traders or the baniya community who has always been with BJP, through their thick and thin, constitute a significant and impactful support expected that Modi being a Gujarati will help them in getting rid of the taxes that creates dent in their earnings. Kejriwal learnt this lesson and did a good homework. He weaved his election manifesto around freebies like free water, cheap electricity, slum free Delhi and so on.
He continuously connected and communicated these offerings of his party in one on one meeting with voters. His people’s contact on ground was far more rich and large than any of the Delhi BJP leaders (whose disconnect inflated post BJP led central government).
And the final dent was Kiran Bedi’s inclusion and declarations as CM candidate by BJP. Not only strong cadre of BJP experienced a divide but also many professional communities (traders and lawyers in specific) openly opposed her candidature.
Well, the most heartening part of Delhi results is that BJP vote bank has stayed with it and it secured 32.7% votes in comparison to 33.7%, which it got in 2013. But the numbers could not convert into seats as the whole of Congress support shifted its loyalty to AAP.
