Actually in the first phase, the constituencies were not BJP's strongholds. In that case low turnout probably helps BJP. Traditional supporters of a party just don't vote if they are unhappy with their party. They usually don't switch sides. Although 60% is still a good percentage.
If in the remaining phases, the turnout is bigger than 60% then that will be good for BJP.
