Five reasons why Modi's BJP should not take 2024 election victory as foregone

Firstpost  

Every time a buoyant BJP under Prime Minister Narendra Modi goes to elections, a reference to the party’s 2004 ‘India Shining’ debacle comes up. The BJP of 2004 under Atal Bihari Vajpayee lacked the aggression and electoral determination of the Modi establishment, had failed to grow the organisation in uncharted areas, and was heavily dependent on coalition partners like Chandrababu Naidu who eventually let it down by getting wiped out at the ballot. Also, this time the BJP is going to fight polls without JDU unlike in 2019, unless Nitish Kumar bowls another googly and joins the NDA at the last moment. Drowned in the euphoria of the Ram Mandir inauguration, the heady surge of Hindutva and the impressively long goods train of developmental and welfare measures, the party’s committed support base may take the 2024 outcome for granted and not come out to vote.
