India's 2024 General Election and the Impact on Its Domestic and Foreign Policies
The aggressive governance style and the political fear it has caused are the main reasons for the BJP's underperformance in 2024 General Elections of India. This indicates that Indian society remains fundamentally diverse and fragmented,with its automatic balancing and error-correcting mechanisms still effective. The wave of Hindu nationalism is reaching a climax,and Prime Minister Modi's personal charm is also challenged by political aesthetic fatigue. However,neither the BJP nor Modi faces a truly competitive opponent. Although the vote share of the BJP was slightly lower than that in the 2019 General Elections,it remains significantly higher than that in the 2014 General Elections. The BJP's opposition is primarily anti-BJP,and Modi's opponent is mainly anti-Modi. The opposition alliance has not created a transformative political wave or symbol. While the BJP has formed a coalition government,it is the strongest since India's independence. The government's capacity to promote new reforms will weaken,but it can still implement existing policies effectively. India's relations with neighbors may be somewhat affected,but ties with major powers and its foreign policy principles will remain largely limited.
