Electoral Politics in India

The Resurgence of the Bharatiya Janata Party

Herausgeber: Palshikar, Suhas; Lodha, Sanjay; Kumar, Sanjay

Beschreibung

This important volume explains not only the startling victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) but also the equally surprising downfall of the Congress Party. It examines not why BJP won and the Congress lost, but why the scale of BJP's victory and that of Congress's defeat was so very different from the results in the years 2004 and 2009. The volume presents an in-depth analysis of the electoral results, state-wise studies, the factors leading up to these outcomes, and the road India has travelled since then.
