Fadnavis is a casualty of BJP-SS split. If they got the Shinde faction to defect, then the faction had to be appeased, by making Shinde as CM.
At the end of the day, India is a caste-ridden country. BJP believes Hindutva can make people forget their caste identity, and prioritize their Hindu identity. But reality is different.
Only urbanization can dissolve caste identity.
And we still hate cities. Congress has played a good game of pitting rural areas against cities, by opposition to farm reform laws, opposing manufacturing, and peddling rural freebies at the cost of urban development.
Land acquisition was already thwarted, by an Amendment in 2013, and with Modi backing out of a correction in 2015, when Rahul shouted suit-boot sarkar.
It's a longer game of slowly opposing every reform by the Congress. And BJP has not countered that.
Congress does not need to do anything, but maintain status quo of the existing problems and pretend to be saviour of one from another, without solving them. The guy who wants to solve it, will always find it difficult.
