2. MARKING its seventh anniversary in power at the Centre, the ruling BJP enters its eighth year grappling with two unprecedented challenges within: one, a dent in public trust in the government during the second Covid wave; And, two, the first chipping of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Teflon coat.
3. The sharply falling Covid curve and the safety net announced for children and a section of the next of kin may have brought some respite but many senior party leaders The Indian Express spoke with underlined the enormity of the challenges ahead.
4. “Our hardcore loyalists remain with us but for the first time since 2014, we are hearing voices from within our supporters and fence-sitters about the Centre’s competence and leadership,” said a senior leader who is in charge of the party in key states.
5. “Signficant reserves of that political capital we had have been lost,” said a senior BJP leader, who is also a member of the Rajya Sabha. “The party and the government will have to tread with extreme caution because we have become prone to attack, criticism and that shield isn’t as strong as it was a few months ago.”
6. “This is the lowest period for us since we took charge in 2014,” said a senior leader in charge of key states.
7. The lingering grief of those who lost their loved ones, the ongoing vaccine crisis, the economic uncertainty and, more importantly, the very public spectacle of mismanagement – from families helpless and hapless to WhatsApp videos of the party declaring a Modi victory over the virus – all mark out the long haul the party faces.
8. These leaders accept that while the critics include the “usual suspects, the same set that attacks us over note ban, NRC, J&K, China, GDP,” there is disquiet in every home across party lines.
9. “Only the idealistic ideas or views....

India is run under the centralized system constitutionally and or unconstitutionally under the brutal majority of lawmakers as being witnessed in my India:
(i) “The States in India are almost powerless except.... right of the liberty of corruption and corrupt means as India is run under the centralized system constitutionally and or unconstitutionally under the brutal majority of lawmakers as being witnessed in my India, but in conspiring manner-
(ii) ‘To plan together secretly to commit an illegal or wrongful act or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action’-defined by Google; under divisive policy- by playing divisive policy to further promote “divisive politics”.http://www.
“The bigger issue that many leaders talk around is how centralisation of power and the leadership is playing out”.
10. The bigger issue that many leaders talk around is how centralisation of power and the leadership is playing out. “From being a party with a cluster of leaders at the centre and regional satraps in the states, since 2014, we are now a very top-heavy party. The BJP, despite its mammoth support base, dedicated cadre and a credible ideology, heavily depends on its top leadership for its electoral victories. A number of elections since 2019, has proved, most recently in Bengal, that where Brand Modi does not work, the party can’t win elections,” said an office-bearer.
11. So state to state –both where it is in power and in opposition – BJP leaders and cadres are facing public criticism and anguish. “The loyal support base felt let down by the party governments. Our voters feel cheated,” admitted a party leader from Uttar Pradesh, where elections are early next year.
12. “District level leaders are talking about illness and death in villages and fear. Young men who returned home from Mumbai and Delhi to their villages are this time more wary of going back until they are vaccinated, that is draining their economics too.”
13. Another unnerving aspect of this crisis for the party is that it has hit its strongest support base, the urban middle class. “Unlike in the demonetisation issue, GST implementation or in the migrant labour crises, the middle class is angry. This is the first time when their bank account or their phone numbers didn’t matter because of mismanagement and scarcity. People lost their loved ones, the dead do not go away especially if they have died without proper care or facilities,” said a party leader. “That will need time and a lot of effort for healing.” Extract from: Written by Liz Mathew | New Delhi |Updated: May 31, 2021 7:15:33 am: The Indian EXPRESS: https://indianexpress.com/
14. “Make in India Policy: The Make in India programme listed three major objectives. They are: to ensure the manufacturing sector's growth rate to 12-14 percent per annum; raise the sector's contribution to GDP to 25 percent by 2025; and create 100 million additional manufacturing jobs in the economy by 2025”: Google defined.
15. PM’s Make in India programme has failed to achieve its desired objective: The campaign seems to have failed to generate interest among investors, local or global even as the manufacturing sector in several Asian economies is expanding at a pace faster than India’s: https://www.
16. Have Indians To Depend Always On Roughly Calculations And Expectations Like On False Promises Of The Nexus In Ill-Equipped India? http://www.thekhalsa.org/
Would Indians continue to be impressed by “Wax poetic” speeches based on ‘Roughly Calculations And Expectations’ Like On False Promises Of The Nexus In Ill-Equipped India?
Oh! My Indians! When to decide now rationally-sensibly for change-reforms in India?
