In a striking parallel to the 1991 Indian general election
BJP on its own could not hit the magic number of 272
Back in 1991, INC under P. V. Narasimha Rao secured 244 seats
In a striking parallel to the 1991 Indian general election, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) could not hit the magic number of 272. The latest trends indicate that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the NDA are nearing the 300-seat mark with only BJP securing around 244 seats, signaling a likely return to power despite a formidable challenge from the INDIA Bloc.
Back in 1991, the Indian National Congress, under the leadership of P. V. Narasimha Rao, secured 244 seats. Although not a majority, Rao successfully formed a minority government with external support, becoming the 9th Prime Minister of India. Rao’s tenure, from 1991 to 1996, marked significant economic reforms and political stability for the nation.
Similarly, the NDA, under Modi’s leadership, is poised to continue its governance, building on its previous tenure’s policies and reforms. The resilience and strategic alliances of both leaders underscore their political acumen in navigating complex electoral landscapes. As Modi approaches a potential third term, his trajectory mirrors that of Rao’s adept leadership in consolidating power through coalition dynamics.
The 2024 election results show NDA’s weaknesses but also resonate with historical patterns of political resilience and coalition-building that have shaped India’s democratic journey.
