Narendra Modi is weaving religion, nationalism and welfarism to create winning formula for BJP in 2024

Firstpost  

Should India sustain a year-on-year economic growth rate of near 7 per cent GDP, it will be a harbinger of a near-certain third term for Narendra Modi as of now On 23 October, as dusk dawned on the holy city of Ayodhya, it was a solemn moment. Add to the above, should India sustain a year-on-year economic growth rate of near 7 per cent GDP, a combination of the above factors portends a near-certain third term for Modi as of now. If there are some distinct signature stamps Modi 2.0 will be defined by, it is the successful near decolonisation of Indian education system and ethos; the diminishing power of dynastic rule in state and Central politics; laying the ground for systemic reforms and social development during his very first tenure that made India future-ready to take off into uncharted economic territory, and enhanced focus on women empowerment which is an important acknowledgement of the growing participation of women as a vote bank. Eventually, religious and nationalistic fervour, coupled with development, sustainable economic growth, the backing of a systematic and strong RSS cadre which has aided social mobilisation, and the ever-growing charisma of Brand Modi are the key differentiators that are already giving BJP a head start 17 months ahead of elections when compared to any potential Opposition bloc which is as yet nowhere in sight.
