As the five-state assembly elections, including Rajasthan and Telangana, approach their final stages, journalist Umapathi reflects on the unexpected setback faced by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Rajasthan elections. This development has raised questions about the narratives propagated by the BJP in the media, claiming a majority in Hindi-speaking states, widespread respect for Prime Minister Modi, and support from individuals with Hindu sentiments.
Umapathi suggests that the tide has turned against Modi following revelations about his ambition to secure a victory for India in the recent Cricket World Cup and capitalize on that achievement for political gain. He asserts that Rahul Gandhi’s criticism of Modi, in reference to this cricketing failure, reflects not just his personal opinion but also the expectations of the people.
The journalist contends that this election has brought to the fore a decade-long undercurrent of popular discontent with the BJP, leading to what appears to be an impending electoral defeat for the party in these five states.
