    1 Uncorrected/ Not for Publication-02.02.2017 DC-GS/5.00/3O (MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN in the Chair) SHRI DEREK O’BRIEN (CONTD.): We are asking for withdrawal of deposit limits. Sir, yesterday, the Finance Minister made a speech. We did not come from our party to listen to his speech, nor did we come the previous day because we believe and our point was that for demonetization, Parliament was ignored and that was our way of stating over the last two days that you people don’t need Parliament because you have a one-man band. To quot from the Finance Minister’s speech--and I am going back to Para 55 of the President’s speech--the Finance Minister said, ‘a trusted custodian of public money.’ That is the Government’s role. I ask, Sir, are you the only trusted custodian of the public money because you are not allowing the public to withdraw their private money for which they pay tax? So we appeal and urge upon this Government to please stay away from platitudes. From tomorrow or Monday, please stop all the restrictions that you have placed on the withdrawal limit. One thing got confirmed after the speech, in this booklet of about 4,000 words, and the Finance Minister’s speech. The good thing, at least, which the Government has confirmed is that demonetization has not worked because if it had worked, they would 2 Uncorrected/ Not for Publication-02.02.2017 have given us some numbers.

    ASIA PROGRAM Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars One Woodrow Wilson Plaza 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20004-3027 www.wilsoncenter.org/asia Cover Image: David Talukdar / Shutterstock.com Copyright 2019 All Rights Reserved Preface In 2019, Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) achieved an overwhelming victory in India’s national election. It marked the second such election in a row that resulted in such a resounding triumph for the BJP, a Hindu nationalist party. While the BJP’s win may not have been a surprise—it had been favored by many to win, particularly with the opposition Congress Party having struggled to mount a strong campaign—the large margin of victory was quite striking. In the months leading up to the election, the BJP had looked vulnerable, thanks in great part to several losses in state elections and to soaring unemployment rates. And yet the BJP still managed to pull off a second consecutive dramatic electoral win. How did the BJP get to this point, where it has become the undisputed juggernaut of Indian national politics? This new report, prepared by former Wilson Center public policy fellow Kalyani Shankar, a veteran journalist and political analyst, breaks down the factors that helped account for the BJP’s two electoral triumphs. More broadly, the report demonstrates how the party has evolved over the years, starting from its earliest days, and how it has set itself apart from its rivals.
