is this bad for NDA? yes.
is this bad for BJP's chance to take gaddi in Dilli? yes.
but it will also once and for all destroy SS. they will be gone. the mantle of being the Opposition to the Congress-Secularist fronts falls then rightfully on the BJP's shoulders without any "coalition" constraints. this is a good thing.
this election is laying the seeds of destruction for a whole host of people. BJP might seem like it's taking the hit. BUT NOWHERE...not in MH, not in AP....will BJP ultimately become the fall-guy for what is happening. others will bask in temporary glory. while some people will commit outright suicide like UT wants to do.
BJP will march on. they might not come to power. but simply every "secularist"/"third front"/"regional" alternative to BJP gets decimated. this is a happy result. it's like process of elimination. the Indian voter will be forced to go through the whole cornucopia of "fronts", systematically rejecting every one of them turn by turn, and finally wake up to see the Lotus ever untouched and floating pristinely.
BJP will march on. no need to go into gloom and doom. 2014 is turning out to be the kind of year which brings multiple forces out into play, forcing INC and their backers to fight on multiple fronts, exposing more and more of their own pawns.
you are making a logical mistake here: you are assuming that just because the alternatives fail, lotus will succeed or that the alternatives have to fail for the lotus to succeed. It may happen as you are hoping, but there are also chances that it may not happen in that way.
If lotus allies wither away, then other forces that are not necessarily in favor of lotus may rise up.
One thing should be clear, lotus is unable to bloom due to its own inefficiencies. It should not be blamed on competition or other factors. As long as those inefficiencies are not addressed, it will give rise to problems one way or the other. There is no point in blaming voters, allies or others.
All said and done, lotus will expand if it is in power in Dilli. It has the advantage of a very dedicated and motivated cadre. It has a clear ideology to take advantage of. It can benefit from growing nationalism and Hindhu awakening. All factors are in its favor. If it is ready to address its organizational issues, then it has a lot of space to grow. Hoping that allies die, so that it can cannibalize on their support base seems like scraping the bottom of the barrel.
If the allies have to wither away, then that process has to be properly managed. The allies have to absorbed rather than allowed to wither away. Many of these non-lotus parties have played a crucial role in keeping the other forces at bay. If those non-lotus parties are gone, then that strengthens the other forces.
If the lotus cannot gain and the allies wither away, the position will be na ghar ka ghat ka(bird in the hand gone and the bird in the bush also gone).
