Bihar verdict: Has the 'Modi magic' faded?


New Delhi, Nov 8 (IANS): The Bihar poll outcome has come as a big disappointment for the BJP whose efforts to rake up extraneous issues like beef-eating and Pakistan, which were not considered germane by a politically conscious electorate, led to a drubbing that the party leadership least expected. Analysts said the results were without doubt a personal defeat for Narendra Modi, who staked a lot in the campaign, was its most visible face and addressed more rallies than any other prime minister in a state election.

The BJP, which announced "development" as its main plank, kept changing its election pitch apparently realising that the Grand Alliance of Janata Dal-United, Rashtriya Janata Dal and Congress was putting up a well-knit cohesive fight and giving it a run for its money.

In came acute sarcasm on remarks of RJD leader Lalu Prasad on beef eating. In the fifth and last phase, the BJP inserted advertisements in local dailies about Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's silence on remarks on beef eating in an apparent effort at polarisation. In a damning indictment of the party’s campaign at what was seen as "communal polarization", the Election Commission had to step in to stop release of more such advertisements.

Some of Modi's remarks were seen as aimed at evoking loyalties of caste and community. He talked of Lalu Prasad not honouring tradition of Yaduvanshis and accused the Grand Alliance leaders of attempts to give away part of reservation quota on religious lines -- an allusion to Muslims.

Modi struck some false notes in his campaign addressing more than 25 well-attended rallies. His repeated talk of power shortage in Bihar found few takers as delivery of electricity had vastly improved in Bihar in the 10 years that Nitish Kumar had been chief minister.

Modi's talk of "Darbhanga module" in his last election speech and his poser whether people wanted "a government in Patna that protects terrorists" raised many eyebrows.

BJP president Amit Shah, who also addressed a large number of rallies, did his bit in stoking controversy and said that if BJP loses in Bihar, "crackers will go off in Pakistan".

Modi and Amit Shah's repeated references to “jungle raj” had few takers for which Lalu Prasad had a riposte Sunday when he said “if Bihar has jungle raj, we are today all kings in that jungle”.

The election verdict, in which the BJP is poised to finish third behind JD-U and RJD, is likely to have ramifications both for Modi and Amit Shah with dissenters, who had chosen so far to remain silent, expected to raise their pitch in the coming days.

Modi had announced a Rs.1.25 lakh crore package for Bihar prior to the polls but failed to convince people on his promises of development.

Vijay Pratap, national convenor of Socialist Front, a socialist organisation which is not into electoral politics, said the electoral verdict was "personal defeat of faces of Modi which are divisive".

He said Modi has many faces with one face talking of development, another of "sabka saath, saabka vikas" and other faces being divisive.

"This is defeat of his style, his amoral politics where he lost connection between means and ends," Pratap, who is also involved with South Asian Dialogues on Electoral Democracy, told IANS.

"He used his divisive face in this election which is very sad for democracy," he said, noting that the BJP's insertion of advertisement on cows in the last phase of the five-phased assembly polls had sought to "distort public discourse".

Pratap said there was an attempt to catalyze communal and caste polarisation.

Referring to Modi announcing the development package, he said "the way he announced it was an insult to the people of Bihar".

Pratap said Modi had addressed the largest number of rallies by a prime minister in a state election and no prime minister had "shown such partisanship" but it will take some time to prick the "Modi bubble".

"Opposition parties will have to put their heads together in polls in Punjab, Uttar Prdesh and West Bengal," he said.

Veteran journalist and political commentator Kuldip Nayar said the "magic of Modi has faded".

"He put his reputation at stake by addressing so many rallies. His magic will wane within the party also," he said.

Nayar said there was an indirect effort at polarisation by the BJP in the Bihar polls and it remains to be seen if the party learns its lessons.

Political analyst and senior journalist S. Nihal Singh said the verdict was certainly a personal defeat for Modi.

"After all, he was the chief campaigner of his party," Nihal Singh told IANS.

BJP's campaign posters also centred around Modi and Amit Shah with marginal representation of local leaders.

Nihal Singh said advertisement in newspaper pertaining to the cow and eating of beef and Shah's remarks about crackers bursting in Pakistan were attempts at polarisation.

He said BJP's earlier formula of Modi being the face of the election campaign did not click.

"The Modi wave has waned," he said, adding that there was disappointment among the people on development promises also as Modi had promised a lot ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

He also said there was a healthy convention earlier of the prime minister not getting too much involved in state elections.

    There was no "Modi Magic" just hallucinations during LS elections and lure of 15 lacs in their account!!! And plenty of other promises over promises...There was nothing "real" about Modiji\BJP!!!

    Now that has worn off, as promises have remained promises as they are carried forward in other elections now, but fooling people all the time is "not at all good\wise" which Modi\BJP is learning the hard way.
    Only thing improved in the Nation after they came to power was to give their wayward vocabulary a boost. It did improve\made progress tremendously which made people call those leaders as "Motor Mouths".
    I hope all this come to an end soon
    and allow us to live in peace and harmony in the days to come.

    Cheers to Lalu - he does what he says and I am waiting...to praise him in the near future.

    This is very simple .In 2014 people believed Modi Bhashans and hoped that he can deliver and make development .The mandate and Votes were for development . People of Maharshtra ,Haryana ,Jharkhand again gave him chance . But Modi could not bring development and also spoiled the peaceful atmosphere of Nation by Dividing communities. He thought of playing communal card to divide the people and get majority of Votes. This will work on long run. The 2019 bjp rule will end and they can not come back for another 20 years because modi misrule.

    let's not forget that all anti Modi leaders ( anti - India development politicians ) came together , just to defeat Modi. that's the only reason. Unfortunately that's the fate of our country that when ever some one tries to do something beyond on the development roadmap, all oppositions ( who can not digest seeing the country developing in their opponent's hands ), they all will come together, just to stop the govt and in turn the developments. With in few months we will get to see the fightings between these alliance parties... they are not going to be alliance for longer period. that's sure. But according to me , nothing should stop Modi and his development plans... or else it will be a major disaster for the country.

Just because and Indian is following another religion than Hinduism doesn't make him/her less Indian. Religion is personal and being Indian is nationlist if BJP tries to divide the country they can never achieve development Indians are for development, unity and wise now. High time to learn from developed countries and not follow religiously motive countries like Pakistan, IRaq, Syria,etc. One side BJP is blaming those countries and other side playing the same game here.

Our present PM Modi is worse than Manmohan Singh. In fact I would like to say that there is no development in Gujarat and it has been hyped like he did during Lok Sabha election in 2014. Even his own fellowmen in Gujarat will bring him down completely and send PM Modi into retirement as early as possible.

Modi's support base is from upper class,urban,pro-hindutva people who are anyway going to vote BJP even if it is Modi or Yediyurappa.But he is good at marketing his own brand with help of corporate world and electronic media.Wherever he found a good credible opposition like Delhi or Bihar there he failed to perform even after having good base for BJP.Bottom line is No propaganda,cast equation,communalism,cow politics ,dynasty politics,freebies works unless you give a good pro people govt on ground.

    MR. MODI WAS THE THREE TERM CM OF GUJARAT, SOME HIGHWAYS AND BUILDINGS ARE VISIBLE BUT THE VILLAGERS LIFE WAS FAR BEHIND BOTH IN EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE WHEN COMPARED WITH THE SOUTHERN STATES THUS STANDING AT THE 10TH RANK.

    THE INTERNATIONAL CREDIT RATING AGENCY "MOODY'S' GAVE A LOWER RATING TO INDIA DUE TO MODI'S WEAKER REIGN OVER THE PARTY MEMBERS.

    THE EDUCATIONAL JOUNRAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL SOCIETY 'LANCET' DEGRADED THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM DUE TO THE HEAVEY BUDGET CUTTING OF 50% FROM THE WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND 20% FROM THE HEALTHCARE. THE MODI GOVERNMENT WAS NOT AT ALL CONCERNED WITH THE LOWER STRATUM OF THE SOCIETY WHICH IS 33% OR 400 MILLION OF THE INDIAN POPULATION.

    BOTH THE CHRISTIANS AND MULSIMS NATIONS WERE WATCHING THE WAYWARD MARCH OF INDIA SINCE BJP TOOK CONTROL OF NEW DELHI. THEY WILL BE RELIEVED TO READ THE ELECTION RESULSTS.

    NATIONAL DISORDER AT THE TOPIC OF BEEF. 40% OF THE BEEF LOVERS WERE CHALLENED BY THE FEW FANATICAL BEEF WORSHIPPERS LIKE THE CM OF HARYANA. DID MR. MODI RECTIFY THE CM'S MILEADING AND JUNGLE RAJ STATEMENT? DID MR. MODI EVER SAID A FIRM WORD AGAINST THE DAYTIME MURDER OF AN INNOCENT PERSON IN DADRI IN U.P., AND THE DESTRUCTION OF A FAMILY BASED ON THE BEEF ISSUE?

    UNDER THE BJP RULE, THE NATION WAS MARCHING TOWARDS DISORDER AND ANARCHY, FOLLOWED BY HIGH INFLATION.

    WHO CARES FOR THE POLITICAL RHETORIC OF MR. MODI IF EVENTS ARE MOVING AT THIS DIRECTION ?

    IF THERE IS AN ELECTION IN GUJARAT, IT WILL BLOW THE BRAIN OF THE BJP PARTY.

    EVEN ONE MONTH BACK, THE BIHAR ELECTION RESULT WAS VAGUE, BUT BY THE LAST DAYS, THE TREND WAS DRASTICALLY CHANGED AGAINST THE BJP LIKE A DIVINE HAND WORKING.
