When the new BJP –led government took over, there were instant
apprehensions that it would adopt a muscular tone and would be very
assertive. Initially, it was also expected that the government would
send some cold signals to various countries. All trough the campaign,
the BJO touched the feelings of most Indians that our foreign policy as
not successful and the old methods and policies might have to change.
Indians generally felt that a country the size of India was not getting
due respect from neighbors.
