The RSS expectations were also unrealistic especially since the NDA was a coalition and the BJP in it did not have a proper majority to make the changes that the RSS was wanting.
The defeat of the NDA last time was really due to the rout of the TDP in Andhra Pradesh for variuos reasons-CBN hubris, farmer suicides and development. Had the TDP got even half the seats that it lost the NDA grouping would have the required largest single block and formed the govt.
The lack of support by RSSand others is typical of how Indian groups operated throughout history. By not extending their whole hearted cooperation, the groups to show their pique or self importance have managed to bring about the worst non-performing, place holding government in India's history.
If you look at every major defeat of the India the root cause was at a critical juncture one group or the other to gain marginal advantage in their perception had withheld their support and ensured the defeat of those they felt had slighted them. The end result is that it brings to power those interests that pursue the groups with more zeal than the defeated one. This is because the new party in power knows it has to defeat the groups or it will in turn get affected later. So it is a lose-lose all the way.
This gets repeated due to lack of or sense of history. And the teachers are there to ensure that history is learnt the worng way.
