BJP lists its reasons for Lok Sabha poll loss

• Is it just me, but the main reason that i think BJP lost the election was the frequent walkouts during parliament sessions instead of having productive debates. I don't mind, I support manmohan.

  But for your reference here are the details.

  At a closed-door meeting, a three-member committee led by party leader Bal Apte presented its report on the Lok Sabha debacle. Senior party leader Arun Jaitley though denied that such a report existed. The main reasons listed for the party's defeat were:

  • Lack of unity among party leaders.

  • Failure to connect with youth.

  BJP failed to corner the Congress on 26/11. Instead the party let the Congress and the media divert the issue and bring in to Kandhar issue.

• Party's election slogans failed.

• Varun Gandhi's hate speech also led to BJP debacle.

• Projection of Narendra Modi as the future prime minister damaged the party's prospects.

• Campaign should have been more meticulous, synchronised and effective.

• Personal attack on Manmohan Singh did not go well with people.

• In Punjab the alliance partner's attitude affected the performance of National Democratic Alliance.

• In Delhi the BJP lost the game even before it was played.

• In Haryana party failed to assess the popular mood.

• Break up of alliance in Orissa at the 11th hour left the party unawares.
