The BJP's 'akla chalo' challenge

History awaits to be rewritten after a long time, not surely for a common man's good government dream coming true, but quite definitely for a unified national vote in the upcoming elections. From jhuggis to glass walls, everwhere the discussion seems to encircle the BJP's Prime-Ministrial candidate- Mr. Narendra Modi.
He has a presence, which a coomon man, a college student, a housewife and a rikshawala feels.
Since, 1984 there has been no government formed on the basis of unified votes. All went into coalition with other parties.
Mr. Modi has a national projection of a modern and aspirational leader, an image also elevated by RSS. In 1996 the brand 'Vajpayee' with a sense of innovation, tried to capture the masses, and was successful, though it took it two years to be fruitful. At that time the part made several alliances, but lost them all, in the wave of 2002 Gujarat violence. Today the BJP has only two allies viz. Shiv Sena and Akali Dal.

If Mr. Modi wins the elections, then it will be the first such single-handed victory and one of its kind national wave after the assassination of Indira Gandhi in 1984. Since then the regional parties have grown stronger, hence prevented a single leader to come up.
Lets wait and see, who gets the bookmark in the history of pilitics.
