520			_aThis text has been updated by merging and editing the earlier introduction and afterword as well as presenting a new afterword. The new afterword accounts for the last Lok Sabha elections in 1999 when BJP came back to power, and the not-so-good performance of the party in the assembly elections in Feb-March 2000. This book demonstrates how the BJP is not the national monolith as which it may like to present itself. The BJP and its present dilemmas and problems are analyzed systematically in a regional perspective, and some of the dilemmas of the BJP at the national level are also explored in a critical perspective.
