Dear Ashokji,
The expectation of the supporters of BJP was very high when BJP as the main coalition partner formed the government and ruled India for six years. This expectation was based on the fact that it being a cadre based political party having close connections with the RSS will be more responsible and receptive to the needs and aspirations of those who voted it to power. Unfortunately, once the leaders got taste of power they got into a mad rush for high life and material gain, thus alienating themselves from the main vote bank of the party. Naturally it got reflected in the result of the next general election. Once the credibility is lost, it would take sometime for the party to stage a come back. However, at present the problem is further compounded by the internal fights and power struggle. In such a situation it becomes necessary to make an issue out of every situation with the hope that it becomes a rallying point.
