Lok Sabha elections 2019: Modi a great actor, but he has a poor storyline

Congress, which has brought Priyanka as a new charismatic communicator in the poll fray, will be able to deploy a negative campaign against Modi govt to tap voter discontent, just as BJP did in 2014

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shot virtually the last arrow in his quiver by providing sops to voters in his Interim Budget. Having doled out the last lollipop, he has only his famous oratorical skills to enthuse voters to re-elect him. But does he have a compelling story?
 
In the run-up to the 2014 general elections, candidate Modi had an unmatched narrative. He promised development, 10 million jobs a year, an end to farm distress, elimination of black money and a corruption-free governance. The key theme of inclusive development was summed up in the slogan “Sabka saath, sabka vikas”.
