Why NaMo succeeded in 2014 and why should I think that he would do so in future as well, Part 2

Why NaMo succeeded in 2014 and why should I think that he would do so in future as well, Part 2

Continued from Part 1....

We are discussing the elections of 2014 and in continuity, we may observe that though unwittingly, the forces staunchly opposed to the candidature of Mr Narendra Modi, have contributed immensely to his victory. It may seem incongruous but let us discuss and try to see if this has some truth in it.

This is true that for over a decade the opposition kept on insinuating against BJP in general and against Mr Modi in particular accusing him of being somewhat like a man eating ogre. It is a fact that some people might have been swayed by this propaganda for some time but gradually people started seeing through the crap and decided to let the bygones be bygones and adhered with BJP & NaMo.  

It is also a fact that the previous ruling coterie was getting mired in one controversy after the other by each day and the series of court decisions that went against the actions of the sitting political parties and with so many of their leaders being accused in cases of big corruption, their fate had been sealed.

Of the alternates available to the people, BJP with its clearly defined leadership and relatively clean track record, the choice for the people was obvious and they voted for BJP and NaMo in droves.

One important and crucial aspect of this election was that a succession of court orders going against the actions / decisions of the previous ruling dispensation had its impact on the business / industries.  The economy and investment environment was at its nadir and there was a situation of hopelessness.

Although nothing can be said definitively in absence of information in this regard, but it is a common perception that this situation might have prompted the big guns to prefer BJP and NaMo. As such, it is often said that though the masses vote in elections but it is the classes that make the governments.

Also, the extra ordinary track record of development seen in Gujarat, under the leadership of BJP and Mr Modi, was an inspiration for the people across the nation, and they voted for him with hope.

Let us hope that BJP, under the leadership of Mr Narendra Modi, will keep the hopes alive.
