Ruchir Sharma notes:
Indeed, the BJP victory in Uttar Pradesh does demonstrate the appeal of its Hindu nationalist and majoritarian ideology, charismatically sold for almost a decade by its leader, Narendra Modi, and backed by an unrivalled political machine. But no single storyline can explain a country as diverse as India and the BJP’s success reflects the continuing appeal of the resumes of its top leaders as much as their strong-arm tactics. They are first generation politicians who rose from relatively humble origins and are seen as incorruptible figures, working relentlessly to advance their cause.
Contrast that to the fifth-generation scions of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty who lead the rival Congress party, with their palace intrigues, philosophical musings, pet liberal causes and overseas getaways. The mismatch — entrepreneurial drive versus elite entitlement — is more and more glaring.
