'Modi magic' waning, says CPI-M

New Delhi, Feb 12: The 'Modi Magic' seems to be waning a little too fast, the CPI-M said Thursday, in reaction to the BJP's election rout in Delhi. "The Delhi electorate has busted the myth of `Modi invincibility'," said an editorial in "People's Democracy", the official organ of the Communist Party of India-Marxist said. "They did so resoundingly. With a mere three legislators out of the 70, the BJP now faces a similar situation in the Delhi assembly as that of the Congress in the Lok Sabha. In fact, worse. "The BJP does not qualify to claim the post of the official leader of the opposition in the Delhi assembly," it said. The editorial pointed out that the Bharatiya Janata Party campaign pumped in thousands of crores in advertisement campaigns alone, projecting that the people of the capital will repose their faith in the Modi government. "Modi himself took the lead in his election speeches saying that what the country `feels' will reverberate in the Delhi elections as well.
