Former Labour leader Ed Miliband is in some respects well placed to head up a review of Labour’s election defeat. Miliband may have received a smaller share of the vote in 2015 than Jeremy Corbyn did this month. But that experience may place him in a position to see that the trajectory Labour was on before Corbyn won the leadership culminated in a dead end.

Seems that the ending of 2019 is not on a comfortable note for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party — which stormed back to power this year with a strong mandate under the able leadership of prime minister Narendra Modi. But as the year ends, the ruling party lost another state — Jharkhand, a Hindi dominant state.

Although, it would be wrong to say that the party electorally lost the battle in Maharashtra this year, but the fact is BJP lost power there too. Jharkhand is the new addition to the list.

Umpteen reasons are there for a party like BJP to panic. The facade of chivalry that they wear as a cover is only meant for hiding their internal fear and related worries. Who among those in the RSS Parivar has expected such a people’s verdict in Jharkhand? In the 81 seats Assembly, BJP’s target was to win at least 65. But people gave them only 25. It was only a couple of weeks back that the BJP had to swallow a convincing defeat after staging a midnight drama, where the office of the Governor was used as a BJP office! These electoral debacles are definite pointers to the developing political scenario. It is partly the reflection of the socio-economic crisis engulfing the country.
