Retaining Rajasthan, MP, Chhattisgarh is key for Modi

Live Mint  

New Delhi: Counting began for five states on Tuesday. Tuesday’s result could give a peek into whether the electoral momentum is in the favour or against BJP ahead of the 2019 general elections. The outcome of the election in five states will be a key test for the popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi after four years of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance rule at the Centre. The road to the 2019 general elections becomes easier as BJP had won 62 out of the total 65 Lok Sabha seats in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh in the 2014 polls. In the last one year, the BJP has lost Karnataka and had a face-saving victory in Modi’s home state Gujarat and hence the performance in the three BJP-ruled states where counting is on will be crucial to maintaining the electoral run.
