Overconfidence led to the downfall of the BJP… The saffron party should learn from the article in the RSS magazine Organiser

You don't win by sharing selfies

RSS member Ratan Sharda's article mentions the BJP's slogan 'Abki Baar 400 Paar'. Sharda says that the results of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections are an indication that the BJP needs to correct its path. He says that the results did not go in BJP's favour due to many reasons. According to Sharda, the results of the 2024 general elections have come as a reality test for overconfident BJP workers and many leaders. They did not realise that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 400+ call was a target for them and a challenge for the opposition. He said that goals are achieved through hard work on the ground, not by sharing posters and selfies on social media. He said that BJP workers were happy in their bubble, enjoying the glow emanating from Modiji's aura. They felt that victory would be ours.

Mistake in selection of candidates?

The article further states that the notion that Modiji is contesting all 543 seats proved to be of limited value. The idea proved suicidal when candidates were changed. They were imposed at the cost of local leaders and turncoats were given more importance. It further states that sacrificing even well-performing MPs to accommodate latecomers proved to be detrimental. It is estimated that about 25 per cent of the candidates were seasonal migrants. It can be seen that local issues, the track record of the candidate mattered. The apathy of local BJP workers was also due to this factor.

Yes, we were proven wrong, after the election results PK accepted his mistake and also told the reason for BJP's defeat

Questions raised on the merger of NCP

The article has made a critical comment on the political developments in Maharashtra. It says that Maharashtra is a great example of unnecessary politics and avoidable manipulation. The NCP faction led by Ajit Pawar joined the BJP while the BJP and the divided Shiv Sena had a comfortable majority. Sharad Pawar would have disappeared in two-three years as the NCP would have lost its strength in the fight between the cousins. Why was this wrong move taken? BJP supporters were hurt as they fought against the Congress ideology for years and were persecuted. In one stroke, the BJP reduced its brand value. After years of struggle to become number one in Maharashtra, it became just another political party without any difference.
