People were not impressed with Modi on account of the following:-

(i) People liked him because he was chaiwala's son and he should have remained the same.
(ii) It was a shame to wear a costly suit and display it. Obama made fun of him by calling him "Fashion Icon".
(ii) Father of the Nation traveled all over the world in one veil of khadi. Examples have to be set.
(iii) In a country where we call our children as 'aap', who advised him to speak "Barrack".
(iv) Lal Bahadur Shastri was the PM for two years. Earlier he wore a coat lent to him by Shri Nehru ji. The first coat which he got stitched was the one before going to Tashkent, where he died.
In country of poor, we cannot display lavishness. The learned Janta of the country immediately retorts back. Still nothing has been lost so far.

Be cautious with young voters, reduce retirement age

BJP may now be extremely cautious with young voters and reduce retirement age to create employment even if it is only a notional one. Young voters are extremely active in making or unmaking of a wave and they punish with a vengeance.

Historic perspective behind victory of AAP

The landslide victory of AAP in Delhi elections needs to be seen in the proper historic perspective. In the post-independence period, Delhi had a strong pro-BJP (Jansangh) sentiment due to a large number of refugees forced out from West Pakistan. To neutralize it, the Congress resorted to mass settlement of a large number of migrants from Eastern India. The AAP party capitalized on the dissatisfaction of these migrants by offering them sops-like free water, power, and allowing them to erect jhuggis wherever they pleased. Thus Delhi is going to be at par not with any international city, but with slums of Kolkata and Mumbai in the near future (in regard to jhuggis and unauthorized housing). Ironically, AAP which started as an anti-corruption movement in high places in India has not shied away in securing political power for itself by offering bribes through electoral promises to the voters. It remains to be seen if the older Delhi-wallas whose families have spent a few generations in Delhi are going to accept this political change or are going to file a PIL in the Supreme Court against this blatant political corruption.

S K Sharma

I entirely agree with Sh. A.K.Saxena giving the reasons for defeat of BJP in Delhi. I would also like to add that organisations like RSS, VHP etc. thought that the election of a BJP government has given them the licence to say and do whatever they wanted forgetting that the people of India had voted for change in the form of Sh. Narendra Modi.

Schools: Central government Is not giving us land to make schools - blame BJP.
wifi : we are not getting security clearance to set up wifi- blame BJP.
Women Security : Home Guards are not enough to cover entire Delhi. We have asked Centre for help but it is not helping -blame BJP.
Water : we are not getting water from Haryana. We have complained but nothing happened-blame BJP.
Lokpal sorry Lokpal : Delhi already has Lokayukta. Home Ministry asking why two parallel laws are required - blame BJP.
jobs : we have asked centre to extend their job schemes to Delhi but we are unable to get them to do so - blame BJP.
VIP culture: Home Ministry had thrust house, car, z grade security on us. What can we do ? We have to accept -blame BJP.
Price Rise : Price Rise is subject to Centre's policy and we can't do anything. Let's protest by dharna - blame BJP.
Crimes : Delhi police is not under state, so AAP cannot do much about crimes, -blame BJP.
And so on & on….. Once a mistake, twice is stupidity, God Bless Delhi.
