The 2024 election results were nothing less than shocking, disappointing and distressing. No one, even world media was not expecting such outcome. Though Modi is forming NDA led govt. but this govt will not be a govt. like last two govts. Since BJP got less than 272 seats so Modi has to rely on alliance partners and these partners will wrest higher share, blackmail Modi against taking hard decisions which we were expecting from him and he had been hinting very clearly recently.
Here are some reasons that I see why Modi lost.
- UP, Rajasthan and TN were the shocking results and caste politics played its role here. In last few months caste issue was being raised very prominently by political parties and it played its decisive role.
- BJP mainly lost in rural areas. Fake news by NGOs, Congress and et al on BJP removing reservation if comes back to power, this changed mind of rural population.
- BJP had made this election Modi centered, heavily concentration on him, making him larger than life figure, Modi doing too much or "I", almost declaring himself unborn, divine was too much for me to accept, so probably some voters didn't like it. Not sure.
- Druv Rathee videos played huge role in brainwashing public with fake news.
- 400 Par was a suicidal campaign this time. It made voters compacent.
- Modi explicitely calling anti muslim rhetoric during campaign probalby backfired.
- Controversial ship jumpers from other parties being given tickets just at election time.
