Introspect.........!!!

A month after the elections results were announced, a debate fuelled by the sadistic taunts of BJP’s detractors continues to rage.Why did the BJP stumble at the hustings in a political milieu that appeared to be so heavily inclined in its favour? Has the appeal of Hindutva dissipated? Political pundits indulge in pharisaic pontification and television anchors deliver endless bytes on this burning issue.It is time to hit the pause button, rewind and review in entirety the BJP’s election campaign,the verdict and its post-mortem,with a degree of objectivity.Instant reactions are often too emotion-driven to be able to provide a concrete and correct appraisal.
