Prime Minister Narendra Modi is confident that his Bhartiya Janata Party will again come to the office at the Centre in the re-election to be held next year amid criticism of the government’s inability to create jobs and for reduced prices of agricultural commodities and rural wages, a tax reform GST that led to increase in unemployment and a demonetization of crucial denomination currency resulting in the depletion in liquidity.

Despite the reported high economic growth, the recent fall of the rupee to a very low value this which also led to heightened prices of the imported fuel and as a result creating inflation. These resulted in protests both by the public as well as by parties.

“There’s no improvement in our life. We eat two basic meals a day but struggle to save for soap and detergent,” Misri Lal, 52, said in Bhomada village located in Madhya Pradesh state, where he earns less than Rs. 150 a day by keeping a watch a yellowish-green soybean farm.

There were some series of interviews held with the common people in the country, and they said that they are not at all in agreement with the current political setup of the Modi government. But the country has got 1.3 billion as its citizens and due to this, one cannot estimate about how far the disillusionment had spread and how much it could affect Modi and the BJP party in the coming general elections.

Despite the economy not running as it should be, the BJP still calls itself a Hindu nationalist, a political plank, which helps in playing with the voter’s emotions. The aides of Modi inside the party are very much confident that the party will not get affected by the election and will have the same performance as it was in 2014.

They are also very much confident that the BJP will fare well in all the three big state elections due to be held later in the year 2018.

As per the opinion polls suggestions, Modi will continue to stay in power, but the opposition to coming very close to become an issue for the party.

The term raised by Modi during his election campaign in 2014 of “ache din” is currently being mocked over the social media in the country.

Some of the officials from the BJP anonymously say that they cannot say it surely about the current sentiment of the people of small towns and villages of rural India.
