    The election, the result


    A coalition is not anathema to politics in India and we have seen many a government at
    the Centre, before 2014, running on the basis of a large coalition. The Bharatiya Janata
    Party was successful in getting a majority on its own for long but will now have to be
    pragmatic when running the nation. It will have to listen to its partners and even the
    Opposition given the ground realities.
    Arun Kumar Mahadevan,
    Chennai
    The outcome of the parliamentary elections has thrown up many points: with respect to
    the BJP, the widely held presumption was that Narendra Modi’s magic would create
    wonders and pulverise the Opposition. This is now a myth. The next is that the tide of
    fortune has not ebbed from the saffron party. On the contrary, there seems to have been a
    silent mood of anti-incumbency. The aggressive invoking of communal and religious
    sentiments failed to move voters. Burning issues such as unemployment and price rise
    have cost the party dear. It is imperative for the BJP to analyse its performance at the
    hustings. ✖

    government, that played a major role in this election. But in scrutinising the various
    factors that dictated the election results, it is the effect of urban apathy that also needs to
    be evaluated.
    K. Anand,
    Chevayur, Kozhikode, Kerala
    Gains and losses are natural in any contest. They have to be taken in one’s stride. The BJP,
    knowingly or unknowingly, thrust its policies on the public, which it thought would be
    well received by marketing itself as a good dispensation after a long spell of Congress rule.
    But there have been a number of occasions when the BJP either soared or slid in its years
    of rule from 2014 to 2024. Towards the end of its second term, there was a misuse of
    central agencies by the BJP. The verdict has come as oxygen to the affected. People hope
    that the BJP, in amity with its allies, forms the new government and also realises its past
    follies.
    Mani Nataraajan,
    Chennai
    The people of this diverse country have spoken and they will not be straitjacketed by a
    homogenising political project that imposes on them a ‘one leader, one party, one religion’.
    It may be a third consecutive term in power for the BJP, which is no doubt an achievement,
    but the verdict carries with it a warning that the BJP can ill-afford to either ignore or
    downplay.
