Electing complacency

BJP has its party and government set into one common mould .Its PM and its president are on round the clock election mode. Since the policies of UPA pass enough muster not to be tampered with ,the bureaucracy merely needs to be on routine watch and little else.Whereas the Congress had a silent PM who perhaps took some wrong decisions, the BJP has a full time  campaigner who seems to have little time left for them .With ministers under the oversight of the powerful PMO ,the outputs  from periodic elections overshadow theirs.Everything is placid and mundane and no whiff of change anywhere.The low crude prices adds to the complacency. With unending Indian elections we may uneventfully touch 2019 . We could then end up with a strong BJP and an indifferent economy. Much like the way a stronger UPA-II started off in 2009 over the euphoria of its previous avatar ,and then folded up.
