BJP reached its peak with 303/543 seats in 2019, is it possible for the party to repeat its performance?

‘400 paar’ target slipping away, BJP’s battle now to cross majority: Sanjay Kumar on The India Story

BJP reached its peak with 303/543 seats in 2019, is it possible for the party to repeat its performance on June 4?

With voting on 49 seats concluding in the fifth phase, polling in 369 out of 543 constituencies ended on May 20. Voting is now left in 115 seats in the remaining two phases before the most-anticipated election verdict is announced on June 4.
This election began as a referendum on Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the BJP confident of securing an overwhelming majority aiming for 400 seats. However, with five phases of voting now behind us, the ground reality seems to be shifting.
What are the decisive factors on the ground? How has the Opposition&rsquo;s performance been? Is the mandate slipping away from Narendra Modi? &nbsp;
On The India Story: Road to 2024, election analyst Sanjay Kumar tells editorji&rsquo;s Vikram Chandra that BJP's path to &lsquo;400 paar&rsquo; is becoming increasingly challenging. Instead, the party's immediate battle has now turned to securing the majority mark of 272 seats.&nbsp;

As campaigning for fifth phase enters its last leg, all eyes are Amethi and Rae Bareli where Priyanka Gandhi is managing the Congress' campaign. Vikram Chandra caught up with the Congress leader ahead of voting in her family's pocket borough on May 20.

Priyanka Gandhi: PM Modi backs BJP netas who call for changing Constitution, why?| The India Story

As campaigning for fifth phase enters its last leg, all eyes are Amethi and Rae Bareli where Priyanka Gandhi is managing the Congress' campaign. Vikram Chandra caught up with the Congress leader ahead of voting in her family's pocket borough on May 20.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi said her party follows the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi who uttered 'Hey Ram' before dying and Prime Minister Narendra Modi was wrong in accusing it of being anti-religion.
Speaking exclusively to editorji's Vikram Chandra on the campaign trail in Rae Bareli, Gandhi alleged the saffron party claims to be a 'champion of Hindu religion', but it is in fact the Congress which is following the path of 'dharma' by seeking votes on the basis of work done.
She criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for polarising the ongoing Lok Sabha election stating that his rhetoric has disillusioned the voters.&nbsp;

Ram Mandir, Hindutava, lack of jobs or Opposition&rsquo;s 'Save Democracy' appeal resonating with voters as Uttar Pradesh votes in all seven phases?
&nbsp;

With 80 Lok Sabha seats, elections in Uttar Pradesh are fiercely contested, passionately participated in, keenly watched and closely monitored. An estimated 150 million voters in the state as of 2022, caste and religion remain the dominant factors in elections.
In 2014, the BJP won 71 seats in the state, a monumental increase from the 10 seats it won in 2009 Lok Sabha elections. Its number slipped to 62 in 2019 but BJP emerged as the single largest party for the second straight time.
As the state votes in all seven-phases this time, what are the decisive factors on the ground?
Is it Ram Mandir, Hindutava, lack of jobs or will Opposition&rsquo;s &lsquo;Save Democracy&rsquo; appeal resonate with minority voters?
The absence of an SP-BSP alliance has given BJP an edge but who will Muslims and Dalits vote for?
How strong is Narendra Modi&rsquo;s impact? Can Modi Wave 3.0 sweep UP for the third time?

There will be a surge in BJP numbers in Bihar, asserts Saran candidate Rajiv Pratap Rudy but as RJD gears up to win back the political turf of Lalu Yadav by fielding Rohini Acharya, can he retain his seat?

'My fight against Lalu Yadav not Rohini Acharya', Saran candidate Rajiv Pratap Rudy on The India Story

There will be a surge in BJP numbers in Bihar, asserts Saran candidate Rajiv Pratap Rudy but as RJD prepares to win back the political turf of Lalu Yadav by fielding daughter Rohini Acharya, can he retain his seat?

It's a clash between RJD's Rohini Acharya and sitting MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy this time in the electoral arena of Bihar&rsquo;s Saran Lok Sabha constituency, formerly known as Chapra constituency, from where Lalu Prasad Yadav started his political innings in 1977.&nbsp;
Once a Lalu stronghold, BJP's Rajiv Pratap Rudy has been winning Saran since 2014 when the former Bihar CM was disqualified because of his conviction in the fodder scam. This time around, Lalu Yadav has fielded his second daughter Rohini Acharya in a bid to reclaim his political turf.&nbsp; Seeking a third straight term, Rajiv Pratap Rudy has openly challenged 'political outsider' Rohini Acharya in the electoral fight.
Can Rohini Acharya win back her family turf, or will it be a hattrick without any challenge for the sitting MP?
editorji's Vikram Chandra speaks to Rajiv Pratap Rudy on The India Story: Road to 2024 in this episode.&nbsp;

What Arvind Kejriwal's release means for Lok Sabha elections| The India Story: Road to 2024

What impact will Kejriwal's release have on the INDIA bloc&rsquo;s fortune, and what does it mean for the BJP?

AAP convenor and Delhi Chief Minister held two road shows in the capital a day after being released on interim bail by the Supreme Court in the alleged Delhi liquor policy case. Kejriwal launched a verbal attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and slammed him over the 'One Nation, One Leader' mission alleging that the ruling BJP 'want to finish the opposition.
Charging that PM Modi is asking for votes for Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Kejriwal said, 'These people ask INDIA bloc about their face. I ask BJP who will be their PM? Modi ji is turning 75 on September 17 next year. He had made the rule that people aged 75 will be retired. He is seeking votes for making Amit Shah the prime minister.'
Arvind Kejriwal's release means he can now campaign for AAP for 18 seats out of total 22 Lok Sabha seats where the party is fighting.
How will Kejriwal's release impact Lok Sabha polls? Will it help AAP win seats where the party is contesting? Will he also campaign for INDIA bloc allies?&nbsp; Vikram Chandra speaks to former AAP member Ashutosh, political expert Yashwant Deshmukh, and Dr Ashutosh Mishra,&nbsp;Dean of Chitkara School of Mass Communication in Punjab on The India Story.&nbsp;

In a chat with editorji's Vikram Chandra, taking a swipe at the JD(U)-BJP, Yadav said that Nitish-Modi alliance is 'missing from the grassroot level' in the state. RJD is part of opposition's INDIA bloc and is fighting on 26 out of 40 Lok Sabha seats.&nbsp;

Fresh from assembly election late last year, which saw Telangana's founding party, Bharat Rashtra Samiti dethroned, the state is now geared up to vote for 17 Lok Sabha seats on May 13.
With Congress hoping to replicate its assembly election performance and BJP aiming to increase its tally of 4 seats from 2019, BRS is leaving no stone unturned to stop both national parties from expanding their base in the state.
On the campaign trail this week, editorji's Vikram Chandra caught up with BRS leader and former minister, KT Rama Rao on where does his party stand in the electoral fight where two national parties are challenging each other.
In a scathing attack on Congress and BJP, KTR said both parties have failed to represent aspirations of the people of Telangana at the Centre. Targetting the PM over his sister K Kavitha's arrest in the alleged liquor policy scam, KTR said, 'leaders who oppose the Prime Minister face jail term'.&nbsp;

Prajwal Revanna sex tape controversy growing bigger as the remaining 14 seats go to vote on May 7, is the BJP-JD(S) alliance doomed in Karnataka?

Karnataka has been one of the key states for the BJP when it comes to scoring big in elections. In 2019, the state contributed 26 of 28 seats to the NDA tally. This time around though, a confident BJP has jumped into the electoral contest to repeat its 2019 performance, but the party is aware that it is entering the elections facing a significant anti-incumbency factor. To maintain its winning momentum, BJP has tied up with HD Devegowda's JD(S) to fight the election. But with Prajwal Revanna sex tape controversy growing bigger as the remaining 14 seats go to vote on May 7, is the BJP-JD(S) alliance doomed in Karnataka? How will the sleaze tape controversy impact voting in Northern Karnataka? Will the women voters ditch their allegiance to BJP-JD(S) against the Revanna controversy?

With Donald Trump returning to the White House, questions loom over how a second Trump administration might impact India-US relations. As a candidate, Trump has been clear that he intends to revamp US foreign policy, focusing on "America First" principles. Foreign Minister S Jaishankar recently said the US is very likely to become more isolationist regardless of who wins between Trump and Kamala Harris. &nbsp;The camaraderie between Trump and PM Modi, which was on full display during high-profile events like "Howdy, Modi!" and "Namaste Trump," was a cornerstone of India-US relations during the billionaire's presidency. But Arun Singh the former Indian ambassador to the USA believes that much of the military cooperation between India and the USA is due to Trump&rsquo;s first stint.

Labour leader Keir Starmer set to be UK's new PM: what it means for India| Editorji Exclusive

In an exclusive interview with Vikram Chandra in June 2023, Starmer discussed what resetting ties with India entails and explained why the Labour Party is reaching out to India.

Keir Starmer is set to become Britain's next Prime Minister after his Labour Party surged towards a landslide majority in the parliamentary elections.
Out of power since 2010, the Labour Party's manifesto includes a commitment to pursue a 'new strategic partnership' with India. This indicates that, after years of strained relations, the UK's Labour Party has decided to 'reset' its ties with India.
Keir Starmer, the party's leader, made this announcement at the India Business Global Forum in London last year.
In an exclusive interview with Vikram Chandra in June 2023, Starmer discussed what resetting ties with India entails and explained why the Labour Party is reaching out to India.

With over 15 crore voters, India&rsquo;s largest state Uttar Pradesh is a crucial electoral battleground. In 2014, the BJP won 71 seats, a huge jump from 10 seats it won in 2009. The number slipped to 62 in 2019 but Narendra Modi led-BJP emerged as the single largest party for the second time.

What are the key issues in the state this time? Can Narendra Modi lead BJP to victory in Uttar Pradesh? With nearly 70% of UP&rsquo;s 23 crore people living in rural areas, how crucial is their vote? Will the Modi factor prevail or will rural distress take centre stage?&nbsp;
