"a close analysis of what happened on the ground would suggest that more than the Modi effect, it was a combination of the intensive campaign by the BJP’s regional satraps in three of the four States (all but Delhi) and a strong anti-Congress mood that did the trick for the BJP. Mr. Modi’s impact — judging by the BJP’s electoral performance where he went campaigning as well as the audience response at his rallies — appeared to be less than what was claimed by his supporters, except in Rajasthan.

In Delhi, typical of the urban arena in which the Gujarat Chief Minister has been gaining traction in recent months, the BJP found itself fighting hard to stay ahead of the one-year-old Aam Aadmi Party. This despite the fact that Mr. Modi not only addressed six rallies in four days but, over the last few months, also made frequent high-profile appearances in the national capital. This was quite visible at his first election rally in Rohini on Delhi’s north-western edge on November 29: a large section of the audience appeared indifferent, while many streamed out even before he had concluded his speech."

Secular sour grapes. Modi is doing what Indira did or what vajpayee did.
