Results a reality check for BJP, says RSS ideologue

"They did not realise that Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji's call of 400+ was a target for them and a dare to Opposition," Sharda said in an article published in the latest edition of RSS-affiliated magazine Organiser.

"Targets are achieved by hard work on the field, not sharing posters and selfies on social media. Since they (BJP leaders and workers) were happy in their bubble, enjoying the glow reflected from Modiji's aura, they were not listening to the voices on the streets," he wrote.
