Rift within the BJP leadership and “diktats” by party president Amit Shah coupled with weak “mass connect” has led the party towards a disastrous defeat in the Assembly polls on Tuesday.
Not the least, much hyped Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s expensive suit with his name on it too has provoked “distrust” among the people, mainly from rural backgrounds.
Soon, as the poll results started to pour in, it gave a rude jolt to the ruling party and many of them felt that they had failed to connect with the masses, the way AAP has done in the last few months.
“Also, it seems that people started disliking the approach of the central ministers in public. Some of the statements went against us. The outsider-issues also proved costly and selection of candidates should have been done more carefully rather than setting scores with the party leaders,” a senior BJP leader said.
Lastly, attack of all the cabinet ministers and posing five questions everyday to AAP went against the party. On the other hand, AAP concentrated on ‘Nukkad Sabhas’ and focused on door-to-door campaigns to hear out local problems, which the BJP failed.
