It’s primarily Modi Mania in Delhi ?

The second last phase of polling is on 12th May, just a day after and the capital city Delhi is also going for polls for its seven parliamentary constituencies. It’s usually said n predicted that which ever party wins in Delhi sets the mood for the national victory. In a nutshell, Delhi is usually considered as the political barometre of the nation’s mood.

But since Delhi state assembly elections are in 2020 it’s not the case this time. However, there are exceptions sometime.

While the BJP won the Delhi ( central) citadel in 2014 securing an absolute majority on extensive Modi wave, in Delhi’s assembly elections it lost to AAP badly/ miserably getting just three seats with Congress nil.

However, despite suffering a humiliating defeat, the saffron party’s vote bank remained intact at 46% or little below, while the new political entrant AAP snatched the entire anti BJP Congress vote bank on anti corruption plank.

But this time being the general election and post impact of Pulwama effect, there seems to be special adoration for prime minister Narendra Modi in majority community n major parts of the country and in Delhi as well. It’s primarily Modi mania in Delhi.

If you go in any part of Delhi and talk to people in any section of the society, except the minorities , people are fully tuned in, with the sentiments of ultra nationalism n national pride , quoting national security as an important issue that can be taken care by only prime minister Narendra Modi.

All other issues like demonetisation, GST ,agrarian crisis, sealing n unemployment etc have taken the back seat. Sounds shocking.

My friends may disagree with me, but I have no hesitation to say that despite the existence of the majority community’s ultra nationalism stance n prevailing Modi undercurrent, both the anti BJP parties and their leaders have taken a hypocritical stand by contesting separately n thus directly helping the saffron party score 7/O or at the most 6/ 1 victory in Delhi.

This is something like knowingly committing the political suicide. It’s a simple laymen’s arithmetic in Delhi. While the BJP had total 46% committed n dedicated votes out of the total both Congressn AAP had 54% or more percentage.

Had both the parties been together they would have more cohesively given the BJP a resounding defeat as the division between the committed minority, unauthorised colony n JJ cluster votes n to some extent the middle class n traders’ votes which is happening now, would have stood with them ( the AAP n Congress combine) unitedly who are badly annoyed with the BJP due to sealing n unemployment issues.

But contesting separately in order to finish each other politically in the capital, both Congress n AAP have become a mockery in the eyes of electorates who’ve not only shifted their loyalties from them but would result in the division of votes say in the ratio of 25% n 30%votes thus giving a direct benefit to BJP whose vote bank may enhance more than 46% due to this division between AAP n Congress.

Moreover the existence of Modi under – current followed by the wave of ultra nationalism, the majority of the voters have been polarised in favour of the saffron party thus killing the chances of both Congress n AAP. What’s your take friends?
