With the advent of Modi era, both Advani and Jaswant were getting marginalized in the party. Jaswant Singh's isolation reached to its nadir when he was denied a ticket from his home district Barmer in 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
Jaswant revolted against the party and filed his papers from Barmer Lok Sabha seat as an independent candidate. Jaswant, however, lost the elections to BJP candidate Col Sonaram Choudhary. But his defiance forced BJP to expel him once again from the party for 6 years.
Jaswant Singh had criticized Narendra Modi's candidature for PM post during 2014 LS campaign but he had gone soft on Modi after he led BJP to a splendid victory in 2014 elections.
In an article titled “A New Vision for India” , Jaswant Singh wrote that the victory of Narendra Modi in this election implies a strategic transformation ahead for India's foreign policy.
