Election Results 2018: The 5 M's Machine, Modi, Mandir, Money & Media, factors leading to hung results in Hindi heartland
As the trends of the election suggests a complete debacle for the ruling BJP, the Hindi heartland has completely rejected the policies of PM Modi and given a chance to the Congress.
The Congress has raided the BJP in its own bastion of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, to make a comeback and prove that ‘Congress abhi zinda hai’.
The Man of the moment in Chhattisgarh, Bhupesh Bhagel, also known as the Chanakya of the Congress in MP, has emerged victorious leading his party to a state where they have cracked the leadership of Amit Shah and Narendra Modi.
Bhagel said, “People of Chhattisgarh took the fight in their own hands. We are grateful to Rahul Gandhi, we fought for the ppl. We got more seats than expected, high command will decide who will be CM.”

Although, for the 2019 Lok Sabha election, the election machinery of the BJP and the Amit Shah school of election management is still intact and the Modi juggernaut might have now come to a standstill, but they will plan a new strategy and the RSS will come even stronger.
The lesson is now about the Mandir issue and the BJP needs to accept the fact that polarizing the voter in the GenNext era might be tough as the real issues of unemployment, inflation, rupee, mob lynching are real and people are facing it single handedly.
At the last, its the Media which needs to play its part with a pinch of salt as the BJP has managed to fix the most of the information outlets and the money injected in the election is playing its part.
