The maximum strength was thrown by the BJP in the Jalandhar Lok Sabha by-election. From central ministers to big leaders of the organization were engaged in the by-elections. The entire strategy made to win the Lok Sabha by-elections by sitting in their AC rooms failed. He was able to succeed only in the strategy of denting the Akali Dal. But nothing was achieved by that.
did not get as many votes as spent
Party leaders of Hindutva campaigners who stay in people’s homes and eat simple food, central ministers enjoyed the election vacation by staying in 3 to 5 star hotels. But when the result came out, the number of votes was much less than the number of expenses recorded in the bills of luxury hotels. Votes were not received according to the amount spent.

Most of the leaders who came from outside the BJP remained confined to holding press conferences instead of going to ground zero and asking for votes. Except for Anurag Thakur and the party’s Lok Sabha election in-charge former minister from UP, Mahendra Singh, no one worked on the ground. Remaining busy in distributing unnecessary knowledge to the workers.

Votes were not cast on Modi’s name
The BJP does not have any achievement of its own in Punjab, so it wanted to sail through the Jalandhar Lok Sabha by-election by chanting Modi’s name. BJP leaders made high-tech propaganda to take the policies of the Modi government to the masses. Vehicles fitted with electronic equipment were brought into the field.
But people found the BJP’s campaign very boring and did not give any preference. The sabotage done by the BJP in the Akali Dal definitely benefited it. Votes increased in Jalandhar and BJP came fourth, but still could not save the deposit of its candidate. He was also marginalized due to sabotage in Akali Dal.
BJP’s VIP culture
People rejected VIP culture
Whether it is the VIP culture of BJP or Congress, the people of both the parties completely rejected this culture. People did not like the glamor of the leaders who came from outside the BJP. The same condition has happened to the Congress as well.
