Indians are beginning to like Modi

Uttar Pradesh went to the polls and the Bharatiya Janata Party managed to effectively tap into segments among the Other Backward Classes and Dalits, besides its upper-caste vote base.

The BJP must not interpret the scale of the victory as an endorsement of majoritarianism or an excuse to raise the political pitch on divisive issues such as the Ram temple in Ayodhya. Going into the 2019 general election, Mr. Modi and his party will be closely monitored on how much they adhere to his promise of taking everyone along. This results prove that UP is no longer a centre of caste and religion based politics. It is a state which consists of Hindus and Muslims in large numbers who elected BJP in a hope of better future.

People country wide are searching for the best leaders who can take India into the best developing era thus making the country fit into the World’s best developed countries. Country's youth with their enthusiasm are desperately looking for the non-corrupt leaders with inclusive development. Most of the Indian people are finding one in Modi, who is non corrupt and looking forward with his hard work to make the country move to heights in the World arena. Only problem with BJP is that its second line leadership is not developed properly. This line needs more people who are non-corrupt. Some people who recently joined the BJP seems they are more corrupt and have never done any sort of real service. So the party has to remove all such elements and make the party fresh and clear and find more leaders who are the torchbearers for the future generations.

Since the party secured absolute thumping majority, BJP has the sole responsibility to utilize the position to develop the state and improve basic amenities. The government must also keep away from communal agenda and look forward to considering the welfare of all section of society in the state.

The best thing is that the Muslims too voted for the BJP under Modi because they too want development and a better quality of life. This fact has depressed those people who are pseudo-secularists and who constantly try to convince the Indians that the BJP is anti-Muslim. It is very clear now that Modi is liked by people belonging to all sections.
