The conversation highlights how Modi's "messiah" image has faded. Despite fulfilling key BJP promises like the abrogation of Article 370 and the construction of the Ram Temple, the party's "400 paar" slogan fell flat, landing at 240 seats instead of the previous 303. This forced the BJP into a coalition government, significantly altering its decision-making.
Evidence of this shift includes the Modi government's recent acceptance of a caste census (previously opposed) and increased engagement with states in federal relations. The speaker criticizes Modi's aggressive campaign rhetoric, suggesting it contributed to his declining public trust. Notably, the BJP even lost the Ayodhya seat.
