Dear Sandeep, I wouldn't break out the champagne bottle yet if I were you. The BJP will swing back because there is no other front in India that acts as an opposition and every party suffers from an incumbency factor after a while. Congress has had a good run at the electoral ballot but that too is largely an anti-incumbency factor against the BJP.How much of that has been a vote against communalism is hard to say.
Still, we can only hope that the BJP's communal hubris is somewhat curtailed by these elections. best, selma --- On Thu, 10/22/09, Sandeep Heble <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Sandeep Heble <[email protected]> > Subject: [Goanet] Is the BJP losing the Plot? > To: [email protected] > Date: Thursday, October 22, 2009, 11:38 AM > The ‘Bhartiya Janata Party’, the > Nation’s principal opposition Party, > faced yet another setback after it suffered a miserable > defeat in all > the three States that had gone to the Assembly polls > recently.
