Not really. The political growth of the BJP is all artificial and due to external factors - from the loss of institutional political knowledge that the Congress suffered due to its split and the back to back death of their leaders (Sanjay Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi) to the capitalist-right who were seeking a pliable alternative to the Congress. And today it is these capitalist-right who are in political control - as they are trying to create a US type military-industrial political system in India. Modi is just their puppet and is a fool who doesn't even realise it.

This is probably a rather misguided simplification of the Indian politics. The BJP plan almost started the tail end of 1980s. Capitalist right do not control the political leaders in India. At least that's not the case with current govt.
