As to the latter, the Cassandras believe that the BJP has run out of issues or causes to champion. Crystal-gazers predict that in 2019, the BJP faces an uphill battle to cross the magical 272 mark in the 545 member Lok Sabha. The BJP, the leading party in the NDA, after mid-term reverses, is down to just 268. In fact, its support to the BJP in Maharashtra in 2019 can no longer be taken for granted. After that meeting we can expect some clear moves and party plans in the run up to the all-important 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
