- People closely following the political happenstances in India would have come to realize by now how the Bharatiya Janata Party assiduously goes about the election campaigns irrespective of the levels. Whether it is a village panchayat, zilla panchayat, councilor, municipal, state assembly, Rajya Sabha, Lok Sabha, or for that matter by-elections, the BJP never takes its foot off the pedal while it undertakes electioneering with intent. No election is treated as less significant by the saffron brigade according to equal importance to every poll underway in the country. The BJP’s meticulous planning right up to the booth level has been widely reported many times. The seriousness of the campaign gets magnified when no less than Amit Shah himself manages those winsome strategies.

- When the top leadership exhibits that every election means serious business, the party cadre on the ground always remains supremely motivated and prepared to go that extra mile which in the end analysis may prove a decisive factor at the hustings. The blitzkrieg undertaken by the BJP by not only embracing conventional door-to-door campaigning but also wholesomely adopting digital platforms is worthy of emulation. No wonder, the BJP always proves to be a great distance in front as compared to other opposition political parties. Of course, when you have a supremely formidable Narendra Modi as the party’s mascot, whose popularity knows no bounds, it makes the BJP’s task that much easier to impress upon the electorate.
- It’s fascinating to observe how the BJP takes its electoral setback with equanimity by vigorously focusing on the next task. As such, the inspirational election machinery of the BJP is an envy for other political opponents who simply fail to match up to corner or go one up. We know how the recently concluded state assembly elections results prove yet again how the BJP’s electoral forward march continues unhindered. Its performance in MP stood out for the sheer scale of the victory, the victory in Chhattisgarh was an absolute stunner, and while the Rajasthan win was no surprise, it beat pollsters’ estimates. Even in Telangana, where Congress won, BJP increased its vote share impressively. Is BJP’s India’s most formidable election machine? Let’s delve further.

- As mentioned above, PM Modi’s unparalleled popularity, credibility, and acceptability across the country ensures that whenever he fronts BJP’s election campaigns, he not only is instrumental in tempering disappointment against incumbent BJP governments but also widens and deepens the party’s support base. The support bases cut across all social groups, particularly in Hindi-speaking states, irrespective of the labyrinthine caste equations. Indeed, the economy under the BJP rule is robust despite facing several debilitating challenges. Most importantly, the targeted welfare measures of the BJP have struck a chord with the lower strata of society, especially women. In conclusion, the guarantees of Modi are resonating with the electorate big time.
