Why were they punished once, but not again two years later? Charisma is above accountability and Modi apparently benefits from the same phenomenon.
In both cases, voters seem to have been attracted by the figure of the strong wo man. Unsurprisingly, supporters of the BJP were overrepresented among those who support such a system. The demand for a strong leader was related to an acute sentiment of vulnerability. The same Pew survey revealed that while crime took the top spot on the list of the most pressing issues, with 84 per cent of Indians seeing it as a big problem, terrorism came immediately next for 76 per cent of the respondents before corruption and unemployment.
This was in tune with the idea that ISIS appeared as the main threat to India to 66 per cent of the respondents, ahead of every other threat. Let's reshape it today.

It would, thus, take many more blunders like COVID mismanagement to break the magical spell over die-hard bhakts, and millions of Indians would never abandon their unshakable and genetically-prompted faith in the infallible guru.
Popular frustration may surely be reflected intermittently in some forthcoming bypolls, but that does not ensure radical change. None in the opposition can hold a candle to Modi, in his mesmerising oratory skills or in electoral strategies. There is, sadly, no national-level opposition leader, not one, to challenge him. Several non-BJP regional leaders have sworn their allegiance to him and the few chief ministers who are opposed to him are quite content to lord it within their own fiefdoms.

The next round in India will be fought in an Uttar Pradesh that has been brutalised by Yogi Adityanath. Its elections are in February, but no serious unified opposition to the BJP is noticeable, but one can keep hoping. The citizenship law is still a burning fuse. These insurmountable difficulties notwithstanding, when people united and are determined to safeguard their values, they can move mountains.
We just need to recap the manner in which Mamata Banerjee and Bengal challenged the tsunami of money and Central police power and shattered the cast-in-stone national media narrative — financed by the ruthless duo. It is a very recent lesson worth remembering and it can help us transcend the gloom brought in by other irrefutable facts.
If we look back further at history we will see that Indira Gandhi was also in a similar invincible position in — when the people of India decided to teach her a lesson.
Opposition parties had united, unlike now, but not very effectively and since the Emergency was still in force, Indira played skittles with them. One remembers every frustrating day during those months, as a participant-observer who was caught between diametrically opposing pulls — that of a former student activist till July of and of an IAS officer coopted into the establishment thereafter.
As a junior magistrate in Burdwan and an assistant returning officer, one saw it all at close quarters.
