So finally the results are out and Modi must be laughing his heart out sitting in front of his TV on the unending analysis by experts on his big win. The mediamen --- the psephologists, reporters, news anchors , political analysts seemed red faced and looked like bunch of jokers. Obviously Modi ultimately turned out to be that glib and complex personality who could not be fathomed correctly and no wonder the exit polls which was part psephology and part wishful conjenctures went horribly wrong. The already polarized voters of Gujrat at least seem to have perceived him as clean, man of integrity, a man who has delivered on development , a man who can protect Gujrati Asmita etc. and so they have reposed faith on him . It was Modi all the way%u2014Modi won but his prominent ministers lost. Modi won but his seniormost party leaders are dissenters. Modi won but the Sangh Parivar is not celebrating. Modi won but the BJP high command is edgy. The list can be very long if not endless. There is lot of similarity to Indiras win before emergency. I am not sure it is the best way of winning for him personally howsoever grand it might look.
