Why did Modi lose the 2024 election?

Qasim Shahzad

Indian election has been held, and Modi won 240 seats in total, but here is the question: is it not the majority seat to establish a government?
The BJP needs 272 seats to form a government in India. But here is another question: why did Modi fail to reach the 272 mark?
Many mishaps could be the reasons for failure.

Reasons behind the Modi’s Failure

First, Initially, given that he ran for office only in his name, garnered support for himself, and even named his party’s manifesto “Modi Ki Guarantee,” he lacks the ethical and political standing to lead the future administration. Ironically, despite the manifesto’s 67 mentions of the name “Modi,” his party has lost almost the same number of seats it gained in 2019.

Second,Smriti Irani, Ajay Mishra Teni, Arjun Munda, Kailash Choudhary, Sanjeev Balyan, Mahendra Nath Pandey, Kaushal Kishore, Rajeev Chandrashekhar, Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti, Bhanu Pratap Singh Verma, Kapil Moreshwar Patil, R.K. Singh, V. Muraleedharan, L. Murugan, Raosaheb Dadarao Danve, Subhas Sarkar, et al. are among the numerous Union ministers who have suffered complete defeats, demonstrating his panoptic defeat. He should join the ranks of his dismissed team when people begin to lose faith in his ministers; according to the adage, a council of ministers sunk and sails together.

Third, He made fun of Rahul Gandhi by saying, “Daro mat (Don’t be scared),” as the Congress took a while to announce its nominee from Amethi. Kishori Lal, an unimpressive leader who the Congress fielded at the last minute, defeated Smriti Irani on Tuesday by a margin of 1,67,196 votes—more than he might have obtained in Varanasi.

Four, the slap of Ayodhya. The city that he had been destroying Indian civilization in the name of, the city that served as the focal point of his poisonous politics, the place where he hastily dedicated a temple that was still under construction in January to achieve his political goals, rejected him today. The word “Ayodhya” appropriately denotes “which cannot be won.”

Five, Ten years ago, he started his victory lap at UP, and today, it came to a symbolic finish on the banks of the sangam, which had witnessed innumerable deaths during the pandemic and whose deaths he never acknowledged. After forty years, the Congress has reclaimed the Allahabad seat, with the BJP trailing by 58,795 votes. His total of 71 state seats in 2014 and 62 in 2019 has plummeted to only 33 this year. He is about thirty seats shy of a majority, thus the UP telegraph cannot be disregarded.

Six, the punch of Manipur. He cannot ignore the response from the people whose land he had let to fester as the Congress wins both seats in the state by a comfortable margin of around one lakh.

Seven, most significantly, the notion of his unbreakability has been completely disproved. Not only has he lost significant seats in UP, but also in a number of other Hindi-speaking states. Not to mention Banswara, where he gave a poisonous speech and was rejected by 2.47 lakh votes from the locals.

In his whole political career, he has never lost. As chief minister, he addressed the Gujarat legislature before taking the prime ministership in Parliament. The man who mocked coalition administrations as “weak” ones and displayed an exaggerated and false sense of masculinity is suddenly at the mercy of his allies, who have the power to pull the rug out from under him at any time. The man with the 56-inch chest should discreetly go to live in the ghats of Kashi and manage the MP local area development project in the town for the next five years in order to preserve what little dignity he still has.
