The Saffron party has taken a beating... The Bihar debacle of the Saffron party is not going to be just an election loss for Bharatiya Janata Party. It is going to serve as leverage for the political adversaries in this ‘game of death’—it will boost up the morale of the Congress party who has been feeling relegated all this while—they realized now that hard work armed with fine strategies is an answer to the Modi Wave. The event is also the indication that the relevance of Modi Wave is on the wane. In fact, the poll verdict has watered and nourished the withering Indian democracy, kudos to the Bihar voters.To the BJP led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government and also to the Hindu brigade, it is time to learn that irrationality and arrogance have no buyers in modern India. Bihar poll verdict is nothing but the boomeranging of the over brimming enthusiasm of the Saffron diehards. India has been passing through a phase of irrationality and orthodoxy under the Modi led NDA regime. There is no gainsaying that the country will continue to witness the trend in the absence of the likes of the Bihar poll verdict. This is the finest method to check the Saffron crusaders. Much as we don’t wish and want it, for the Hindutva movement permissive atmosphere of communalism has stalked our country.
Meanwhile, the RJD-JD(U) victory in Bihar is giving tremendous relief to the hobbling Congress party. The message is clear now that any party can take on the Modi Wave any given time. The several trips of Narendra Modi t Bihar for the canvass have failed to show the usual magic of big chest Saffron babu. The Bihar verdict also brings a sense of security to minority groups who have been feeling insecure. Further, the Sunday’s poll verdict is also a strong message to the world that modernization/development (main poll plank of Nitish Kumar) is what the people need and not communalism. Lastly, Amit Shah who is billed as the finest strategist of the BJP has lost his credentials.
