5-State Verdict: Is It Modi's Success Or Failure?

Ever since the results of 5-state elections have been out, a section of pseudo secularists, China and Pakistan supporters such as  the Leftists and the Congress party and some ethicless national media houses have been spewing venom on PM Narendra Modi. They indulged in fake analyses that the 5-state election verdict implied the failure of the Modi government at the centre. As a matter of fact, the results displayed the success of Modi. Firstly, checkout the following table that shows the difference between the 2016 and 2021 general elections in terms of the BJP's growth in respective states. 

STATE                      2016      2021

------------                  -----------   ----------

BENGAL                    03           77

TAMIL NADU             00           04

PUDUCHERRY         00           06 (Grabbed power with alliance)

ASSAM                      60           60 (Retains the power)

KERALA                    01           00

* In 2016 the BJP was in power only in Assam among the five states. In 2021 the BJP bagged power in states viz. Assam and Puducherry.

*.In Bengal, the BJP emerged as the biggest opposition force. The Congress and the Leftists disappeared from the state.

* The BJP succeeded to win 16 MP seats when its strength was just 3 in the state's assembly, 2016. As the strength increased phenomenally to 77, obviously, the Lok Sabha MP seats are set to be increased in 2024 general elections.

* In Rajyasabha also, the BJP will be strengthened with more number of MP seats on a proportionate basis of its total number of MLA seats in the five states in 2021. 

BOTTOM-LINE: It's going to be a cakewalk for the BJP to score a hattrick victory with 2024 general elections.
