Now that Nitish Kumar has been
sworn in for another term of office and two of the Lalu brood are in the
cabinet it is possibly the right time to tally up the gains and losses of the
various parties.
Nitish Kumar – Victor (For Now)
Lalu Prasad Yadav – Victor (Along with highly educated sons)
Rahul Gandhi – Confused Victor (Lost his way to Gandhi maidan)
BJP – Loser (But the Best thing to have happened to it)
While it may be counterintuitive
to believe that losing Bihar is the best thing to have happened to the BJP, I
honestly believe that in the long run it will be beneficial to them.
Whatever your views on the
Modi-Shah duo might be you would have to admit that they are among the canniest
politicians in the game. Two adverse results in a row will give them more than
enough food for thought. I am sure that they would have analysed till the cows
came home and . . . oops . . . I meant would have figured out what went wrong
and will definitely course correct from now on.
So what did go wrong and what can
the BJP do to strengthen itself.
In my opinion the biggest issue was Leadership.
Check hubris. You may not actually know it all. At the very least take
the entire BJP fraternity with you.
Respect Opposition.
Aspirations
