New polarisation

The cold shouldering of the Sena by BJP and then the personal attacks on Modi by Uddhav Thakre were a part of the planned polarisation of the past master Amit Shah . The mock pre-poll tiff between the BJP and SS were  thus meant to keep votes straying away to Congress /NCP  has paid off. It is a backhanded compliment to the UPA-II policy of inclusiveness that had channeled welfare across the weaker sections as the BJP was aware of popular perception of its avowed pro-business slant . The bright spot in all this; a new wave polarisation through a larger agenda has come to replace the hackneyed and worn out caste / religious sequestration.That said the BJP did get away with the old formula in UP in the LS election. Credit must go to the BJP that prescribes medicines as per the illness and makes a success of it. May be because the BJP put its faith on  an younger generation ,with an assertive leader at the top.
