Campaign upended !

BJP seems to have upended the very tenet of campaigns per se.It had all along been demanding  that it is the electorate that must come up with "people`s manifesto " of electing Modi!Sanity seems to have now  visited the BJP .It realises that it is the party that makes promises to people and not the other way round !· The much belaboured document of the BJP has at last seen the light of the day,at sunset time !.The party plank is now seen to remain the same, of course with a generous veneer of development. Enthusiasts of the development driven agenda were perhaps hoping to cross the parlous straits of 2014 ,purely on the strength of this assiduously engineered ' veneer '. They forget that it is the plank that carries the veneer ,never vice-versa. That a party plank built and seasoned thorough years of extreme political climes can only be set aside in an act of political Harakiri ,ought to have dawned much earlier on the
BJP collective.They practically fell between two stools. For the BJP,this episode coming under fading light ,has attendant damage.
