Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay | Amid BJP triumph, can AAP be a force in 2024?

Deccan Chronicle  

The verdict of the Assembly elections in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh along with that for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi underscores the BJP’s continuing electoral hegemony in large parts of India. However, even though the BJP bettered the Congress’ mark under Madhavsinh Solanki in 1985, it fell short of the latter’s vote share of 55.6 per cent. Although the votes it polled and the seats it won was comparable to the performance of Shankersinh Vaghela’s breakaway All India Rashtriya Janata Party in 1998, the damage to the Congress was greater because after Mr Modi’s advent in 2001, the BJP established a firm stranglehold in the state and increased its vote share by almost five to six percentage points for it to always hover at close to the 50 per cent mark during Assembly polls. The AAP’s capacity to continue as a significant political force in Gujarat shall determine if the party and its leader Arvind Kejriwal will emerge as a significant political force for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
