Senior journalists Bhupendra Chaubey, Sudeep Mukhia and Amit Goel largely agree that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made miscalculations on several fronts.

Where BJP lost the plot

The party harped on Hindutva even where the concern was misplaced, for example in West Bengal
Trinamool Congress (TMC) is a stronger organisation than the BJP in West Bengal
Dalits who had supported the BJP in the last elections felt alienated
Vasundhara Raje's loyalists as well as Rajputs in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh were disenchanted
Jats could not repose faith in the BJP in Haryana
