Unpopular FACT : At this point of time, Even if Modi resigns/BJP hides him, and fresh elections are called with BJP having Amit Shah/Rajnath/Yogi as PM face, BJP will win majority on its own.
Is it about Modi? Yes.
Only about Modi? No.
It has gone far away than you think..
You only consider Modi vs rest theory. Modi is just a face of the forces/players taking huge advantage from behind. You only see Modi. I see those behind him. He is a large part of the game, but he isn't the complete game. You can't beat Modi if you can't beat the game.
You visit social media and follow your interests/ideology and you think it's a close contest. You think migrant workers will make Modi/Nitish lose Bihar elections. You have no idea how large the NDA victory margin is coming. Opposition has no idea of the game. The game is large.
The opposition has to run on the track NDA/BJP is running. The game is of the narrative and perception. The opposition today is far more lazy than that of 1970s revolution. Opp. needs to win a huge perception game on ground to dismantle the regime & TW/FB hashtags won't work.
The social media volunteerism/ campaigning is killing the actual spirit of revolution of masses/opposition. Cong/UPA feels it is competing in News debate/twitter so they are close. I have bad news for them. I even know they are far behind on social media too. Far behind the BJP.
Those logging on Twitter/Reddit reading tweetes in English won't change the elections/narrative. But those who wake up with WhatsApp/Youtube will. Congress is miles behind the YT/WT game. Twitter/even FB doesn't matter yet in Indian politics.
But if you say there is no scope for an opposition today, you are wrong too. People actually want another narrative. But the current opposition is just not doing enough/ lack the media and narrative. But if you keep blaming, you have no right to win. It's all on you.
