After nearly a decade in power, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bhartiya Janata Party continue to enjoy widespread support, and polls indicate that he will retain his position as Prime Minister for a third straight term in 2024.
This is New Delhi, India. According to the results that were revealed on Sunday from a pivotal vote that matched the main opposition party against that of Prime Minister Narendra Modi before national elections in the following year, the Hindu nationalist party, which is now in power in India, claimed victory in three of the four state elections.
According to the website of the electoral commission, the Bhartiya Janata Party, often known as the BJP, was able to regain control of the states of Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan from the Indian National Congress. Additionally, the BJP was able to make history by being reelected in Madhya Pradesh for a record fifth term.
In Telangana state, which is run by the powerful Telangana Rashtra Samithi, which is known for its opposition to the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), the Congress party won by wide margins.
A fifth state, Mizoram, where the Mizo National Front, a regional ally of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), is now in power, is scheduled to have its vote count on Monday.
More than 160 million individuals, which is equivalent to one sixth of India’s electorate, were eligible to vote in the elections that took place in the five states that were held exactly one month ago. As a result of the country’s enormous population, voting in India is typically carried out in stages.
The Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to the voters for “their unwavering support” in the states where his party emerged victorious.
The results in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan suggest that the people of India are solidly with politics of good administration and development, which the @BJP4India stands for, according to a post that Modi made on X, which was once known as Twitter.
In each of the three states in which his party was defeated, Rahul Gandhi, the head of the Congress party, admitted defeat. He expressed his gratitude on the people of Telangana, the state in which his party was victorious, and wrote on X, “The battle of ideology will continue.”
Workers for the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) celebrated by dancing while wearing masks for Modi, giving one other sweets, and putting colors on each other’s faces.

During his visit to the headquarters of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) in New Delhi, Modi was surrounded by BJP members who showered him with flower petals and chanted chants such as “Long live Mother India.” During a speech, he referred to the outcomes as “a victory for honesty, transparency, and good governance.”
Despite having been in office for almost a decade, Modi and his party continue to have widespread support across the country, and polls indicate that he will be re-elected to a third consecutive term in 2024. However, a new coalition of 28 opposition groups, which will be referred to as INDIA, is anticipated to pose a threat to Modi’s party on a national level.
The Congress party is in charge of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance, which is an abbreviation that stands for the Indian National Developmental Alliance. This alliance encompasses India’s opposition parties that were previously split.
At the time of the election, both Modi and Gandhi traveled across all five states in an effort to win over votes. During the heated campaigning for the election, both candidates made promises to voters on a variety of issues, including employment guarantees, loan exemptions, and subsidies.

During a time when India’s diplomatic influence is expanding on a worldwide scale, Modi will run for reelection the following year. In recent polls, however, the Congress party has been able to undermine the perception that his party is unbeatable by bringing down local BJP governments in state elections in the southern region of Karnataka and in the northern region of Himachal Pradesh.
The elections take place at a time when India is confronted with a number of issues, such as an increase in the rate of unemployment, attacks by Hindu nationalists on the country’s minorities, particularly Muslims, and a diminishing space for dissent and free media.
