So why did the NDA perform so poorly in the federal election in Haryana and Maharashtra, but then re-elect their state governments? Personal guess: nationalist voters were complacent and didn’t vote. Maharashtra specific: non-Marathi Hindus being highly offended/mobilised by the way Fadnavis has been treated. Sanjay Raut also deserves a lot of credit for destroying Shiv Sena (UBT) by essentially turning it into a centre left party. |

Yet, the incumbent governing is deeply unpopular. And Independents trended more to the opPosition, what is usually a good sign, that the latter will win (but that did admittingly already in Haryana not materialize). I suspect that the NDA is favoured because the tribals don't have enough power for them to get a majority, and the BJP is popular in the non-tribal parts of the state. Just the ST-seats:  |

The BJP should have imprisoned Soren after the election, and not before it. The tribals closed ranks because of it. I suspect that the NDA is favoured because the tribals don't have enough power for them to get a majority, and the BJP is popular in the non-tribal parts of the state. Just the ST-seats: I’m not surprised to say the least about the tribal seats. I’m surprised that the BJP didn’t do better in the non-tribal areas. |
