Alliances win states

Deccan Chronicle  

While it is true that the way the nationalism debate has unfolded across the country, the Bharatiya Janata Party seems to have gained popular support beyond the big cities, this is not likely to become a big election issue in the states that go to polls in April and May 2016. The BJP will certainly be the frontrunner in Assam, and may even form government on its own or in alliance with the regional parties, but it can hardly hope to improve upon its performance of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections in states like West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. In neighbouring Kerala, though the BJP, with its alliance with the Bharat Dharma Jana Sena, is giving the impression that it will be able to break the old pattern of a bipolar contest between the United Democratic Front and the Left Democratic Front, the election will remain between the UDF and the LDF led by the Congress and the Communist Party of India-Communist Party of India, respectively, with various regional parties coming under one or the other political umbrella. The BJP, which performed well in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections by winning two Lok Sabha seats while polling 17 per cent votes, marched ahead of the Congress in terms of votes, but it is unlikely that the BJP will increase its vote share in the Assembly elections compared to its vote share in the Lok Sabha elections. The BJP made its electoral presence felt in Assam during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, winning seven of the 14 Lok Sabha seats and polling 36.5 per cent votes.
