What should BJP do to win the next election?

Governments are nothing but big, big, big organizations. Perhaps the biggest a country has. What does it do? Render services most often.

What do big organizations typically do to satisfy consumers? Identify their needs. How do they identify their needs? Of course, ask the consumers what they need and maintain constant contact with the consumers to receive their feedback. In short, conduct research studies.

Which political party has done this? Scratch your head.

It's surprising that a tool so well understood and used so successfully by far smaller organizations hasn't been deployed by an organization which manages the entire country.

Political parties are nothing but marketing organizations seeking votes
(instead of money). To my mind BJP wins the next election if they do just this – study the voters' needs formally. Requires massive massive effort but isn't it worth it?

    Research rarely translates into a great strategy.
    Furthermore from my experience, any quantitative research data is only upto 40-50% reflection of market reality due to host of factors like:
    1) Wrong questions asked
    2) Questions asked in the wrong manner and wrong order
    3) Biased responses
    4) Self filling of questionnaires by the interviewers
    5) Wrong recording or responses
    6) Data entry error
    7) Data edit error
    I too believe that some data is better than no data but I firmly believe that research should not be greatly used to formulate strategy. The consumer most times does not know what he wants. I should be knowing what the consumer wants or better still I should create something that he will crave to want. Something that he never knew he wanted.

    Why in its entirety BJP would and should win the elections? Organizations which study the customers and deploy the best marketing strategies may succeed but this country has still got the successful organizations which has good morale. Deeply down by the recent blunders, and defeat in the central election it’s non-nationalist to think of BJP as a leader of the country.
    Everyone knows about the needs of citizens, at least the basic needs don’t need the research. It’s about fulfilling it with balanced distribution of services and welfare.
