HAS BJP LOST THE RACE IN TAMIL NADU ?
HAS BJP LOST THE RACE IN TAMIL NADU ?
With Vijayakanth deciding to join the four party group of Vaiko, the public perception appears to be that BJP has now been humiliated, as it has been going behind Vijayakanth almost with a begging bowl.
While there would be lot of animated discussions within the BJP itself about this alliance fiasco, one wonders as to whether central leadership of the party should accept responsibility for the present unenviable situation.
What is shocking is that BJP leadership at the central level does not seem to know it’s strength and has failed to position it’s role in Tamil Nadu in an appropriate manner, relying on propagating the development oriented forward looking agenda of Modi government. Instead, it has sought alliance with Vijayakanth and also with PMK and rebuffed by both. In the process, BJP has lost a glorious opportunity to build an image and base for itself in Tamil Nadu.
Many well wishers including the undersigned thought from the beginning that BJP should contest election in Tamil Nadu on it’s own, even if it would lose all the seats ,which may not happen. Even by aligning with Vijayakanth or some other outfit , BJP could not have won many seats but only would have lost it’s identity.
Now that the damage has been done, BJP should immediately look for some credible and knowledgeable spokespersons to competently explain Modi’s vision and achievements to the people in Tamil Nadu, particularly in TV discussions which are widely watched. BJP should not hesitate to look for such spokespersons who understand and appreciate Modi’s governance , even if they happen to be outside the party fold.
Still ,some lost grounds can be gained if Modi’s programmes can be suitably presented to people in a credible way.

Unless BJP show its strength by contesting the elections on its own in TN, no party would like to align with it. BJP ruling at the centre has a golden opportunity to create a good base for itself in the state. more

Tamil Nadu politics is a Dravidian Politics. Be it DMK or AIDMK. Voters in Tamil Nadu are quite educated to bring to power any of thses two parties with alternation. BJP has to open its accoiuunt in TN. A decade back BJP was not known in any of the southern states.Today BJP has its party base in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and also in Kerala. If god willing ,in this election if BJP starts its mark, then it can progress to any height. It will take Time, more

BJP has no strength in TN since long, hence tried to rope in Vijaykant to increase its mass base. This strategy might not have worked for various reasons, for that central leadership of BJP or Modi should not be made a scape goat. Modi's work might be giving a slow result but it is steady in its performance and delivery. He is covering I to E factors, i.e. Initiation to Execution. Give him some time. Thanx. Shankar Rudra more

I fully agree. BJP should go it alone, and speak more on achievents to make people aware, like jan dhan linkage to aadhar crop insurance , linking it to land records, to prevent corruption by vested interests and middlemen, and all pro poor and farmer policies> It is sure to pay dividends! more

Because attitude and ignorance of congress for many decades Tamil nadu shifted their allegiance to regional parties DMK and ADMK. Now it is difficult to break the hold of these parties. Also the love affair of Tamil people with film personalities(however undeserving they maybe) makes it difficult for party like BJP where such cult following not followed. We can gauge the public preference when useless people like Vijaykant who can not properly stand on his legs can aspire to become CM. Of Course it was foolish of BJP to run behind such useless people and they should develop a proper political leader for Tamilnadu politics instead of relying on such jokers. Somewhere I doubt Amit Shah's ability as the president. more
