New Indian Express  

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Similarly, in neighbouring Kerala, while the BJP won one Lok Sabha seat for the first time and partially increased its vote share from 13 percent in 2019 to around 17 percent in 2024, the overall mandate remains almost the same. Therein, BJP contested three fewer seats this time but lost around 6 percent of the votes apart from losing eight seats. In Telangana the saffron party doubled its seat tally, from four in 2019 to eight in 2024, while its vote share increased from 20 percent to 35 percent. The grand old party increased its seat tally from three to eight Lok Sabha seats and had a 10 percent rise in its vote share.
