Analysing these reactions from the ground, the Lucknow-based political analyst Professor Sudhir Kumar Panwar pointed out that not many Prime Ministers in independent India had been subjected to the kind of rapid disenchantment that Modi was facing now. “In fact, Modi should rate at the top of the table in terms of the disenchantment rate for Prime Ministers of India, in terms of both the speed with which it has happened and the scale. Undoubtedly, this sense of being let down is closely linked to the development rhetoric that Modi and his associates in the BJP unleashed during the Lok Sabha election campaign. In other words, for the people, the Modi government’s performance was about much excitement and little satisfaction. The two Budgets of his government as well as its policies did not live up to expectations,” he said.

“The negative effect of this was compounded when leaders like Shah stated that the promise to bring back black money from abroad was chunavi jumla [election ploy]. The youth who were excited by the promises of decent jobs also increasingly perceive this as another chunavi jumla. At the policy level, the government and its leaders have completely let down the important agriculture sector by indulging merely in verbal calisthenics and not fulfilling even basic promises like the increase in MSP [minimum support price]. Over and above all this, the blatantly communal politics such as ghar wapsi and love jehad have boomeranged on the ground. Clearly, all this has injected some vigour into the opposition parties, including the Congress, which were decimated in the Lok Sabha elections. It would take a Herculean effort for Modi and his associates in the BJP, the National Democratic Alliance [NDA] and the Sangh Parivar to overcome this growing negative perception about their policies and political practice,” Panwar said.
