When Prashant long back said, and if it was his original words, that the same weapon in the elections, never works twice; then this election may be an example to ratify him to a certain extent. As one might ask, why Congress won 99 seats by using the same political weapon of Reservation in 2024, which was already been used in 1990s in India; then the answer to that question could be, that in the 90s, the Reservation was restricted to one part of the Minorities; but in 2024, the Reservation was extended for the Muslims in India as well; thus, both the political weapons are different, hence it worked. Maybe that’s why, as Prashant said, Congress was able to consolidate entire Muslim votes + the votes of Jats + Dalits, and let’s say Sikhs as well, who already made a consolidated team in the Northern India; and that also affected the result in UP, Haryana & Rajasthan. This theory could also be true for the BJP as well, as why they lost some seats in the Northen belt, as the same political weapon i.e. to put the entire burden on Mr. Modi’s shoulders to win elections also didn’t work, as you can’t use the same political weapon several times.
Besides, as I already mentioned in my previous blogs, there’s this X factor of metaphorical bounty placed to slander, demean & insult certain leaders, on the mainstream, in the last 10 years. Because, if you’re running an agenda against someone for more than 10 years; whether it was against Mr. Trump or Mr. Modi etc., then interfering in the elections could definitely happen.
Moreover, there’s hardly any White / Black American or British living in India who’re running an agenda against US or UK from India; but there’re thousands of Indians living in US, UK etc. who’re running a campaign against India, as well as against Mr. Modi; so that also affects.
Just a thought!
