Thank you both for the replies, it’s interesting stuff that I’ll try to look into more in the future. I see that in the 2019 elections BJP managed to win in a lot of regions, except for the south and southeast. Much has happened since then like COVID and the farmer protests so I suspect the BJP won’t be as dominant in 2024. I also see there was a new 26 party ‘opposition alliance’ created last month.
I will say the opposition alliance is full of holes and consist of lots of opportunists , they can switch between Congis and BJP when time is favorable . Left front has become weak af post 2008, its difficult for Indians to choose a coherent party with some ideals . Congress also won’t ban the extremists like Bajrang Dal and VHP affiliated terrorist fronts and they will pursue the neoliberal policies of BJP .
