Are Nasiruddin Shah and Arvind Kejriwal helping BJP from set back?

Serious analyses of the reasons behind BJP's defeat, so that lessons can be learned for 2019.

BJP gets a 5-0 drubbing in elections. It is not a defeat but a paradigm shift. It is a culmination of what we have been fighting for the last 4 and a half years.

For a few days, we concentrate on rejoicing etc. But there are few serious analyses of the reasons behind BJP's defeat so that lessons can be learned for 2019.

Instead, we fall back on discussing Nasiruddin Shah's statement. Without realizing the stupidity of it all...his statement and the issues raised hark back to the pre-11th December era. Our approach should be: we defeated the atmosphere of fear on 11th December. We have to move on...the final nail in BJP's coffin is yet to be driven in.

Then we get stuck in the Rajiv Gandhi Bharat Ratna confabulations, which was a Sanghi plot to divert attention from the 11th December 'disaster'.

Even our approach on the ghastly murder of a girl in Agra is faulty. We are unable to link it with the general collapse of law and order in UP, under a BJP Govt.

The Sohrabuddin judgment should have been taken up, not as proof of BJP's power over the judiciary, but as its defeat, its desperation over the inevitable.

THE NARRATIVE THAT WE DEFEATED BJP, THAT HOW DID A BIG SHIFT OF THIS NATURE TOOK PLACE...SHOULD ENGAGE US...THE TRIUMPH OF SANATANI POLITICS OVER HINDUTVA, THE REVIVAL OF 'KISAN-NAUJAWAN' ISSUES ETC... THESE ARE MATTERS BJP DOES NOT WANT US TO DISCUSS...
