Following a landmark victory in West Bengal and a historic third consecutive term in Assam, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has solidified its dominance across the Indian political landscape, with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) now governing 22 states and union territories. This remarkable expansion marks a significant shift from 2014, when the party held power in only four states, and today the NDA oversees approximately 72% of the nation’s population. Prime Minister Narendra Modi characterized the success in West Bengal as the “blooming of the lotus from Gangotri to Gangasagar,” highlighting the party’s firm grip on the Gangetic belt including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Uttarakhand. Despite challenges in South India where states like Kerala, Karnataka, and Telangana remain under Congress rule, and setbacks in Maharashtra and Jharkhand, the BJP has successfully recalibrated its grassroots strategy under leaders like Amit Shah and J.P. Nadda. Looking ahead, the party has set its sights on Punjab, aiming to further break records and emulate the historical political hegemony once held by the Congress party in the late 1970s.
