Results show Cong still far behind BJP

The 2024 Lok Sabha elections saw a massive, almost unprecedented, political polarization in India.

Results show Cong still far behind BJP

The contest was largely between two broad camps, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Congress-led Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA). Parties that did not align themselves to either of these two sides, such as the Biju Janata Dal or the YSR Congress Party, saw themselves getting decimated in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Six months after the Lok Sabha elections, how do things look like for the NDA and INDIA?

The short answer to this question is that the NDA draws strength from its biggest constituent while INDIA loses it because of the Congress. This is largely because of the Congress's inability to do better against the BJP. Going forward, it also means that the Congress will have to struggle to be seen as the natural leader in the INDIA bloc. The numbers speak for themselves.

BJP is bigger than its NDA partners, while the reverse holds for Cong
