Pavan K. Varma | Why 2024 promises to be an exciting election

Deccan Chronicle  

The fact that almost the entire political canvas divided into two groups to meet on the same day, July 18, in the lead-up to the 2024 parliamentary elections, was a first in the history of democratic India. The goal of the two groupings was different — for the Opposition, the attempt was to strive for more unity amidst often irresolvable diversity, because a divided Opposition helps the BJP; for the BJP, the need was to bring in more diversity to meet the challenge of a possibly united Opposition, by expanding the NDA, and welcoming back allies whom it had earlier considered dispensable. Narendra Modi’s consistent personal popularity, his party’s and the RSS’s ground-level organisational strength, and a clear narrative of Hindutva, hyper-nationalism and verifiable welfarism, had given the BJP a certain sense of invincibility. But if a viable alternative is seen to be emerging to BJP hegemony, their positions could change, especially since in their respective states the principal Opposition party is no longer the Congress but the BJP. This is crucial, since this is the real catchment area of the BJP, where its strike rate against the Congress in the last two national elections was over 90 per cent.
