Sir,
The recent bypolls results of UP and Bihar served a big blow to the BJP making it unenviable to settle on the ceremonial chair of sovereign. Apparently, of all the participated seats, Gorakhpur defeat – registered an impression of poor planning and showcased the advent of rainy days for the Saffron Party. Does the saffron brigade find it difficult to continue its relentless rule outlined with the perspective of delivering achhe din. Well the picture in the public discourse quiet elucidates the story – TDP’s withdrawn support rises questions, also Shiv Sena stills finds hard to come on the same page in many instances.
Let’s speak of jobs first. The unemployment rate in India registered a slight increase since the BJP took the charge. It had drifted to 5 percent in 2015-16 from 4.5 percent in 2013-14 of labour force. BJPs professed emphasis on 10 million jobs, before coming to power, fails to put an impressive knock, for statistics don’t bear optimism. According to the labour bureau figures, only 1.35 lakh jobs were created in eight labour-intensive sectors in 2015, compared 9.3 lakh jobs created in Congress regime in 2011. The latest Economic Survey, based on data from the labour ministry, stated – the sluggish Employment Growth.
Apart from job, BJP’s lost on Gorakhpur seat, home seat of CM – Yogi Adityanath, to the SP by the margin of 21,961 votes, defines the lost faith among the masses for the Government. Moreover, story of Rajasthan where Vasundra Raje holds the power was left shell shocked by aggressive campaign by Congress led Sachin Pilot who scored the surprising numbers of 700, 000 voters for Congress.
What comes as a massive surprise is TDP at the loggerheads with the government. It’s not only the special status but question arises – was that enough to split the years old bond. Now Government excuses it’s good for party growth in Andra Pradesh.. Franky, one cannot escape from truth – that is BJP has got weaker in its existence. Perhaps it might touch the victory line in 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the celebrations will not cover the rumbling extravaganza.
Yours etc…
