BJP takes gujarat. hope we have no doubt about it? coming as it does after the disastrous demonetisation and GST, among other factors, the BJP has reason to celebrate. The saffron party did ride on the shoulder's of lies and a deceptive campaign...
The BJP would feel emboldened now to carry on with its divisive agenda as the clueless opposition continues to fumble. The congress setback perhaps illustrates the sloppiness of its strategy as it set out to face Modi-Shah duo in their den.
On the other side there is more noise -- self-congratulatory, defensive, condoning voices in favour of the congress and Rahul Gandhi-- that hardly makes sense. An undue haste in giving certificate of efficiency to the young leader is quite visible. But that can wait.

We need to keep in mind that gloating over despite the congress defeat in Gujarat would mean, quite again, lessons not learnt.
(meanwhile hope Prakash Karat is celebrating!).
After the bihar victory in 2015, this certainly is an ongoing descent for the congress-led opposition and unfortunately for the country.

p.s., if the opposition is not willing to bury its differences and get together Gujarat is most likely to repeat itself in the future.
