LK Advaniji's analysis:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The mention of Gujarat in Advaniâs speech is significant because of Modiâs leadership in the state and Advaniâs close bonding with him. It comes at a time when the prominence bestowed on Modi during the campaign has been cited by some party insiders as well as allies like JD(U) for the NDAâs poor performance.
<b>Advani also stressed that internal feuds had damaged the partyâs prospects.</b> Speaking about the partyâs poor show, Advani said, <b>âWe have to find out why our performance was poor in states like Rajasthan, UP, Delhi, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Orissa. We also have to find out why we won less than the expected number of seats in states such as Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.â </b>
<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It was internal feuds (Gujarat, Rajasthan, MP and Uttarkhand) and external vote breakers like MNS in Maharasthra. Allowing party to diminsh in Punjab and Orissa.
But frankly it looks like in last two rounds the BJP decided to let INC win . maybe there is national issues at stake which we dont know. BJP could have raked up many issues but didnt.
