And, it was in the hope that things would change dramatically that BJP chief ministers won resounding victories. So in Davos when I listened to the Prime Minister expound upon the successes of his style of governance, I found it very disquieting. If it had, errant chief ministers would have been pulled up or sacked for ruling just like Congress chief ministers did. Polls indicate that the Prime Minister’s personal popularity remains high, but this is more than can be said for his chief ministers or the Bharatiya Janata Party. A disturbing despondency is beginning to be evident and this appears to be something that neither the Prime Minister nor his team has noticed yet.
