How did BJP’s blooming lotus start to wither, which mistake proved costly? Know everything

New Delhi: BJP had set a target of crossing 370 for itself but BJP could not come close to majority on its own. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s margin of victory in Varanasi was 1,52513. Why did the BJP’s lotus, which looked so confident before the elections, start wilting?

The benefit of free ration is affected by inflation
BJP had focused on the beneficiaries of the central government’s scheme. BJP also got the benefit of the free ration scheme but the impact of inflation reduced this benefit. People were troubled by inflation and were also constantly discussing it but this issue was not addressed by BJP in the elections, which disappointed the people. BJP workers themselves kept complaining about inflation but it was ignored.

Unemployment was heavy
Throughout the elections, the youth in almost every state kept talking about unemployment and kept citing it as the biggest issue. Unemployment was already there but the situation worsened after Covid. The private jobs that were there earlier were lost during Covid. Many small shops and small businesses came to a standstill. This situation was evident in any mall or factory. But the BJP kept praising the better management of Covid and did not talk about employment. The opposition raised this issue. The youth were also upset by giving different exams and waiting for their results and then the exam getting cancelled.

fire of agniveer
Ever since the new scheme of recruitment in the army, Agneepath, was implemented, there was opposition to it among the youth. It also became an important issue in the elections. The youth were angry about it and the Congress promised in its manifesto that if it comes to power, it will end this scheme and implement the old recruitment process. The fire of Agniveer also scorched the lotus of BJP.

From statement to candidate
Questions were also raised on the selection of candidates in BJP at many places. Voting was done on different issues in every state and no single national issue dominated. BJP did not benefit from the continuous rhetoric on Ram Mandir. After some BJP leaders talked about changing the constitution, the opposition made it an issue and said that they want to end reservation and doubts also arose in the minds of the people.
