Lessons from 2024 General Elections

A major issue faced by the BJP is their excessive reliance on NaMo.
-
Narendra Modi is set to take the oath of office for his third consecutive term as India's Prime Minister, a historic achievement previously accomplished only by PM Jawaharlal Nehru. Despite the BJP unexpectedly falling short of securing a simple majority on its own, this marks the first time since 1962 that an incumbent government has achieved a hattrick at the national level, highlighting the rarity of this political feat. This achievement comes in a turbulent post-pandemic world, and despite the indiscriminate freebies promised by the Opposition alliance as well as the intense propaganda by domestic and international actors.
STABILITY CONCERNS
The altered political landscape has sparked concerns regarding the stability of the NDA government, and thereby the impact on the goal of becoming the thirdlargest economy and the advancement of Vision 2047.
There are questions about Narendra Modi's ability to run a coalition government, which he technically did in Modi 1.0 and 2.0, but the BJP was above the 272-mark both times. This time it is 32 shy of the magic number.
It is important to note that NaMo consistently maintained cordial terms with leaders from different political parties, showing respect regardless of their treatment towards him. Over the last ten years, he developed personal relationships with several heads of state, including three United States Presidents and the Russian President. Despite the baggage of the 2002 riots, he also shares warm relationships with Arab leaders. NaMo's adeptness in cultivating ties across ideological and geographical boundaries suggests that he possesses the finesse necessary to effectively manage BJP allies.
