Kink in BJP's DNA

When a party that breaks the 30 year jinx of  coalition governments at the Centre with 282 seats on its own, ends up with just 3 seats in Delhi; there is lot more than faulted electoral strategies of the BJP  or a runaway AAP charisma. The Sangh parivar has never allowed individuals to overshadow it. Modi perhaps continues to remain an outsider to the core of the parivar .One must wonder how an experienced Modi allowed himself to be cut off so effectively from the domestic scene as fringe elements were riding high on the  hindutva bandwagon  , the PM  left an onlooker and confined to a busy calendar of managing external relations.The damage has now been wrought.There clearly are die- hards in the Parivar that believe  Modi has been commissioned just to swell the GDP and that all else is out of bounds for him !Delhi elections behind us,we certainly have not heard the last of such   internal contradictions, long enduring in the BJP.
