India’s general election has proven to be one of the most consequential in recent history, highlighting significant shifts in political dynamics and voter sentiment across the country.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a victory for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), but it was underwhelming compared to previous elections. The opposition INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) performed more strongly than expected. Modi now faces the challenge of navigating national politics with a smaller majority, which will require strategic compromises and adjustments in his administration’s priorities.
In this summary of our recent webinar, India after the elections, we explore the key issues influencing India’s post-election landscape and their implications for India’s political and economic future.
