Landslide victory of BJP in Gujarat in 2007 has many things to tell than analysts like to listen. What no one wants to talk
or overlooked is that Gujarat 2007 can be easily customized and repeated in UP, MP, Rajasthan and Karnataka, which is enough to get the numbers to form the Govt. at center. Many famously said that Modi''s gain is BJP''s loss, it would be more accurate to say Modi''s gain is Rajnath''s loss but not BJP''s loss. Rajnath has not delivered anything substantial since he was made party president.Moreover, most of the second rung leaders in BJP are supportive of Modi and I don''t think Modi will find it difficult to silence other aspirants in the party. After all, he has done what no other BJP leader ever managed to do with any other state in India.Measure of his strength can be estimated by the kind of victory he got, where press, electronic media, internal dissidence, opposition, incumbency factor etc were placed against him.More importantly he has already created a mass base outside Gujarat,
in expatriates, bloggers, urban masses and business community who see
him as a progressive leader.
Modi as a persona which has grown bigger than any other leader in India today. He is definitely a new face going to arrive in National Politics of India.BJP just got what it was struggling to find, and look at the way it got with a billion eyes watching.
