Varanasi: Story Behind the 3.2 Lakh Drop in PM Modi's Margin & Rise of Ajay Rai
Analysis of Narendra Modi's reduced victory margin in Varanasi and its electoral significance.
The unthinkable happened in Odisha as voters denied the Naveen Patnaik-led Biju Janata Dal (BJD) to create a record in Indian politics. The BJP turned the table on him and successfully stalled the march of over 24 years on the trot. Meanwhile, in a stunning turnaround, the ruling BJP, eyeing a hat-trick of clean sweeps in all 25 Lok Sabha seats, was trounced in 11 seats, barely six months after regaining power in Rajasthan.
The biggest success story of this election is undoubtedly the Samajwadi Party and its leader, Akhilesh Yadav. SP emerged as the largest party in India and by far the most populous state of Uttar Pradesh. Read the analysis here.
