The BJP has put in an unexpectedly good performance in the Assembly by-polls, results for which were declared today.
Its best showing was in Gujarat where seven seats were at stake, six held by the Congress. The BJP won five this time, Congress two. And, this despite Modi not campaigning in any constituency personally. In Uttarakhand, the BJP won the lone seat, while in MP it wrested one and the Congress retained one.
Considering that this has happened in the backdrop of serious infighting at the national level, does it show the irrelevance of the Delhi coterie and the party's strategists? Did they adversely affect the party's performance in the Lok Sabha elections?
Meanwhile Modi Magic continues. Couldn't be due to the 2002 riots, as the media would like India to believe. Surely he must be doing something good.
