END OF THE MODI ERA

Jay Kumar Jay Kumar
10 Jun 2024

Even with a campaign that is estimated to have cost 70,000 crores, a 'Saffronised' Election commission, brutalising and imprisoning of opposition leaders including Kejriwal, Soren, and Kavitha, freezing the financial resources of Congress, 400+ Godi media channels, unabashed Islamophobia, and above all Ram Mandir and Hindutva forces, Modi has fallen way short of even a simple majority. This paints the end of the Modi era. It is firmly over.

It is firmly over because BJP has lost in UP and got a sound drubbing in the cow belt. It has lost its vote share by double-digit percentages in multiple states. BJP is now dependent on Naidu and Nitish to come to and remain in power, which means that Modi is politically neutered. His autocratic ways will not work anymore. His operation 'Kamal's will not work anymore. Most critically, Congress has more than doubled its seats, and there is clear evidence across India that there is an undercurrent, if not a wave, against Modi and the BJP.

The media will have to give the opposition some space, Rahul Gandhi will become the toast of the pro-democratic forces in the nation, and Sanghis will have to take a step back. Babus will not be able to brutalise the common people and opposition. Courts will not give brazenly sanghi verdicts. ED and EC will have to fall in line, and so will the SC, and stop being so brazenly and cravenly Sanghi.

Most critically, Gadkari and RSS must be smacking their lips, waiting to exact their own revenge on MoSha. Within the saffron ecosystem, the wings of MoSha will be clipped. Gadkari and other challengers now have the space to grow more powerful, form their own factions and work with opposition parties in case of no-confidence motions. MoSha will be cut to size.

Ambani and Adani will have to reconsider their policies, start funding opposition parties, and help them gain positive coverage on all their media properties. Half of MoSha's power comes from the money A&A spends and their media channels, which spout hate 24/7. With that on the wane, MoSha's appeal will fade quite rapidly.

Mosha has never worked in coalitions or formed a government in which they didn't have the absolute majority. Naidu and Nitish each own MoSha's political 'jewels' to threaten MoSha whenever they act up. Even if Modi is the PM, he can only do something with Naidu and Nitish's permission. They are bound to use their tight grip on MoSha to meet their needs. If Naidu and Nitish decide to support the INDIA coalition in government formation, MoSha will be finished.

And that is just the beginning. It will be slow, long painful walk into the sunset for MoSha, for their ERA IS OVER, FOR GOOD.
