A BJP wave in Uttar Pradesh is sure to end in a victory for the party in the Akhilesh-land and of course Narendra Modi will be celebrating in his Lutyens Delhi abode.

But if he needed any more incentives, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah’s tweet tirade should get him feeling a little extra confident... for 2019.

Not contesting for any seat himself, Omar Abdullah took to the social media outlet to congratulate(??) the BJP and their leader on another precedented victory...

...And All but Conceded Defeat in the Next General Elections:

In a nutshell, there is no leader today with a pan India acceptability who can take on Modi and the BJP in 2019. At this rate, we might as well forget 2019 & start planning/hoping for 2024.

...A Need for a Drastic Change in Strategy Is Needed, He Tweeted. "Criticising the PM Will Only Take Us So Far"

Punjab, Goa & Manipur would certainly suggest that the BJP isn’t unbeatable, but strategy needs to shift from criticism to positive alternate. I’ve said this before & I’ll say it again the voter needs to be given an alternative agenda that is based on what we will do better. Criticising the PM will only take us so far. The voter needs to know there is an option available to them that has a clear +ve roadmap.
