  • How the 2004 Lok Sabha Election Was Lost
    July 2004 How the 2004 Lok Sabha election was lost Gareth Price Summary • Surprise at the outcome of the 2004 Indian general election was more pronounced because of the confidence of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that it would be returned to power. The government had taken the decision to call an early election from what it thought was a position of strength. In retrospect, its complacency proved to be its undoing. The government’s “India Shining” message played to its core supporters and, in effect, encouraged the rejection of poorly-performing MPs. The BJP’s over- confidence led it to alienate its allies, while Congress, which expected to lose, was keener to formalise alliances. • While the BJP performed poorly, its remaining allies in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) performed worse. In just two states, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, the NDA lost 51 seats, the bulk of the seats being lost by the BJP’s regional allies. Although the BJP benefitted from anti- incumbency in some states, had it maintained its existing alliances and articulated a more inclusive message there is little doubt that it would have remained the largest party, changing the entire political dynamic. • The new government faces a host of challenges. Its survival will depend on how members of the coalition balance their desire for secular government with the implementation of their particular economic or social policies. Congress’ ability to manage a coalition, particularly in the run-up to state elections, and personal ambitions of other politicians within the coalition will also determine whether the government survives.

  • Parliamentary Elections in India. Voters Favour Clarity in Politics and a Secular State
    PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS IN INDIA. VOTERS FAVOUR CLARITY IN POLITICS AND A SECULAR STATE Beatrice Gorawantschy / Martin-Maurice Böhme India’s new parliament was elected from April 16 to May 13 this year. The contest for representation on the Lok Sabah, the lower house of India, was joined by nine national, 47 state and 500 minor and/or regional parties. 714 million Indians were called upon to cast their vote on a total of five days. The strongest party to emerge with 206 seats in parliament was Congress (INC), which now forms the government. The Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) came in second. Standing for political continuity, economic stabil- ity, and secular policies, the entire cabinet of 78 ministers has been sworn in by now. Given the large number of people qualified to vote and the considerable dan- ger of terrorist attacks, organizing elections in India is a gigantic task. On May 7, for example, 56,000 police were deployed in New Delhi alone. Both major parties had published their platforms in the course of the cam- paign. The INC’s manifesto focused on safety and prosperity for all as well as on social justice. The INC leader, Sonia Gandhi, let it be known that her party had made good on 80% of its promises during the last legislative pe- riod. Mrs Gandhi, who also chaired the outgoing government coalition, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA), and has been leading Congress since 1998, still enjoys power and public esteem. Her son Rahul, grandson of Indira Gandhi and great-grandson of the coun- try’s legendary first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, is now beginning to strive for political office and influence as well.

The party won the 2014 general election with a convincing majority under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who assumed power in May 2014. Today the BJP is in power in 20 states, either on its own or with its allies. This rise can be attributed to various factors, including the party leadership, organisational skills, and effective ground work. This brief analyses the journey of the BJP.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 TH£ S£ £ f Zosz ABSTRACT This thesis is an ethnographic exploration of the inter-locking relationships between politics, popular democracy, religion and caste/community formation in a North Indian town. This study is conducted through an exploration of the political rhetoric and political participation of a community of Yadavs in Mathura town, western Uttar Pradesh. The Yadavs were traditionally a low- to middle- ranking cluster of pastoral-peasant castes that have become a significant political force in Uttar Pradesh (and other northern states like Bihar) in the last thirty years. The analysis of Yadav political culture involves the historical exploration of varying local conceptions of caste, race, primordialism, socio-religious segmentation, factionalism, history/myth, politics and democracy. Throughout the thesis runs a concern with the elaboration of a theoretical framework which makes sense of the transformation of the caste system, and its interrelations with modem politics and Hinduism.
