Electoral democracy at a crossroads
• Following the 2024 General Elections where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 240 seats—falling 32 short of a majority—the party has regained momentum in regional politics. • The BJP has secured resounding majorities in several subsequent Assembly elections, either independently or through alliances, across states including Haryana and Maharashtra. • This trend indicates a strategic recovery for the party, extending its influence into key regions such as Delhi, Bihar, Assam, and West Bengal.
