Jharkhand also shocks BJP: Regional parties may now overturn power

In Haryana, the BJP had to seek the support of a regional party forming a government

Ahmedabad. December 23, 2019, Monday

Now the BJP is succeeding in keeping regional parties apart from the Congress from different states and the Congress has adopted a precise strategy of using allied tactics by staying on the back foot and gaining the trust of the allies in those states.

It seems that the influence of Modi and Amit Shah at least has diminished in the Assembly polls, but only when regional parties appear to be inclined to sit with the Congress. It is unlikely that the Congress can come to power by winning the assembly elections as the single largest party.

The fact that the BJP did not succeed in co-opting the JSU in Jharkhand shows that regional parties too have become as wise as oil giants and oil giants. In Maharashtra, the Shiv Sena joined hands with the NCP and the Congress. The Congress, using diplomacy, gave the Shiv Sena the extraordinary accompaniment of keeping the BJP out of power, which was beyond the imagination of the BJP's think tank.

Even in Madhya Pradesh, the Congress, which formed the government under Kamal Nath's leadership, got the support of two Bahujan Samaj Party, one from the Samajwadi Party and four independents. This is how the Congress got seven of the 114 seats needed to form the government. The BJP had 108 seats.

This is another example of the strength of the regional party that the BJP lost to the second Janata Dal in Odisha. Without the support of Dushyant Chautala's Janata Janata Party, he could not have formed a government in Hariyama. PDP was inevitable in Kashmir. BJP has been able to survive by gathering small parties or independents in the northeast states or Goa.

In the central government, the TDP of the Shiv Sena, Chandrababu Naidu, has been torn apart and now the party of Nitish Kumar and Ram Vilas Paswan are giving a sense that it will not last very long.

With the assembly elections in Delhi in January-February and in Bihar at the end of next year, in 2020, all parties will be busy devising their strategy by changing the changing trends.
