New Delhi. BJP, which had set a target of winning 370 Lok Sabha seats for the party and 400 plus for NDA, got a big shock in this election. Both these targets were set by PM Narendra Modi himself, but BJP got only 240 seats. Due to this, BJP is facing sarcasm from its supporters on social media and from its opposition parties in politics. In 2014 and 2019, BJP had the pride of winning majority by winning 272 Lok Sabha seats on its own, but this time it could not even get a majority and is going to run the government with the support of TDP and JDU. BJP leadership has taken this very seriously and every Lok Sabha seat is being assessed, where the party’s candidate contested the Lok Sabha elections.
In fact, this time BJP not only lost on many seats, but the votes of its important candidates also decreased. PM Narendra Modi himself won by 1.50 lakh votes. Whereas, in 2019 he won the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat by 5 lakh votes. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh also won by less votes than in 2019 from Lucknow, which has always been a stronghold of BJP. Losing the seats of Ayodhya and Amethi, which have Ram Mandir, is being said to be a cause of panic in BJP. Similarly, there are many seats where BJP could win by only 500 or 1000 votes. Apart from this, the way BJP has been continuously winning bumper elections in UP since 2017, the defeat received from Samajwadi Party there has also been taken seriously by the party leadership. BJP is also brainstorming on the setbacks in Maharashtra, Bengal and Bihar.
According to sources, after assessing the win and loss on all seats, the BJP leadership is going to take tough decisions. In tough decisions, BJP can also take action against responsible leaders. In such a situation, in the upcoming assembly elections, tickets of many leaders can also be cut. Leaders can also get show cause notices. Many such videos are also coming out on social media, in which BJP leaders are allegedly seen creating an atmosphere against their own candidate. The BJP leadership is keeping all these in mind in its assessment. Overall, the BJP leadership is now preparing how the party can be made the leader once again.
