Elections are nothing but with playing with human emotions, like striking the iron when it is hot. All pandering of constituents is like feeding the bhakra for the eventual bali.
Dealing with emotions boils down to shaping fears, desires & honor of humans.
Targeting NRIs with the accusation that they are far removed from the ground reality is nothing but arm-chair critiquing. It does not take a rocket-scientist or a brain-surgeon to figure out NRIs by virtue of being outside India are indeed removed from the reality. But that gives them another angle or perspective.
Ideologies are developed by groups and forced upon the grass-root level. Hazaar ideas will be developed and attempted, not everything will click.
Elections are about calculations and miscalculations, no party ever gets it right all the time. BJP needs good vision and plumbing work to get the message through its system, energize people at the grass root levels. What does energizing mean? It means creating more activists who will stand up for it and speak for the party. Who will come out in droves and vote.
And I doubt if all BJP supporters think BJP will be the cure for all the problems of Desh, a prominent member in another forum pointed out that NRIs could be trapped in such a fallacy. The member has hoary reputation, but still ends up at generalization.
