In 2014, the party won 282 seats, the NDA had won 336. It was the first time in more than three decades that a single party won majority on its own. Cong BJP chief Amit Shah, the architect of the victory, tweeted: "This victory is India's victory. This is the victory of the hopes of youths, the poor, and farmers. This massive win is the BJD victory of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's development and the people's trust in him. On the behalf of crores of BJP workers, I congratulate Narendra Modi." Congratulating Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the re-election, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi asked him to "take care of the interests of the country". He also conceded defeat in Amethi, asking BJP leader Smriti Irani to nurture the constituency "with love". Gandhi has reportedly offered to resign as President of the Congress, though the party is unlikely to accept. Among the states, the BJP made a clean sweep in Gujarat, Delhi and Rajasthan and is ahead in 38 of 40 seats in Bihar and 41 of 48 seats in Maharashtra. The party is also expected to win 28 of the 29 seats in Madhya Pradesh. In Chhattisgarh, it is marginally behind - leading in nine of the state's 11 seats. Among the southern states, the BJP is ahead on 25 of 28 seats in Karnataka - ruled by the alliance government of the Congress and HD Kumaraswamy's Janata Dal Secular. The alliance government completed one year on Thursday. A dismal showing in the election will not help better the strained ties between the local leaders of the two parties. In Andhra Pradesh, the YSR Congress is set to come to power, decimating the ruling Telugu Desam Party of Chandrababu Naidu. It is ahead in 144 of the state's 175 assembly seats and in all 25 of its Lok Sabha seats. The Congress is ahead in eight of Punjab's 13 seats. It is also ahead in Tamil Nadu, where it is partnering the DMK led by MK Stalin and in Kerala, where it is ahead in 19 of 20 seats. In Uttar Pradesh, which sends the largest number of lawmakers to the Lok Sabha, the BJP is ahead in 63 of 80 seats, the Mayawati-Akhilesh Yadav alliance is trailing with16. A good performance in the state is considered absolutely essential for any party or alliance hoping to rule at the Centre. In West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee who fought a pitched battle with the BJP, is VOTE SHARE ahead -- so much so that Trinamool Congress leader Chandan Mitra has called it the "government-in-waiting". Leads show that the BJP is ahead in 18 seats, to Trinamool's 22 seats. In Odisha too, the party is ahead on four seats. In Tamil Nadu, the DMK-Congress alliance is way ahead of the AIADMK and the BJP, which tied up weeks ahead of the elections. A similar showing in the by-elections for 18 assembly seats could topple the AIADMK government led by E Palaniswami.

  • India: Anti-Muslim Citizenship Amendment
    India: Anti-Muslim Citizenship Amendment SAYRA RAFIUZZAMAN • POLICY ANALYST • 2 OCTOBRE 2020 Women attending the Shaheen Bagh Protest Summary Prime Minister Modi’s government intends to assemble a National Register of Citizens (NRC) across India. Along with this, the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) or Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) 2019, has created a situation in which the Muslim minorities and document-less minorities of India may be deprived of citizenship and rights (Shankar, 2020). This affects women minorities in particular, risking displacement in mass numbers (BhowmicK, 2020). Currently there are four ways to obtain Indian citizenship: birth, descent, registration and naturalization (Shankar, 2019). However, due to socio-economic restrictions, many women do not have access to birth certificates or paperwork, leaving them at risk of being stripped of their Indian identity (Bhowmick, 2020). Background The Citizenship Amendment Bill which was passed into legislation at the closing of 2019 has left India with widespread protests. The bill fast tracKs citizenship for immigrants of three neighboring countries: Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. This process is open for minorities who may face persecution based on religious beliefs in these countries. The range covers Hindus, SiKhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, and Christians. However, it excludes Muslims, even minorities sectarian Muslims who are widely persecuted, such as Shia and Ahmadiyya Muslims (PTI, 2020). While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) claims this amendment is beneficial in the race to protect minorities, it is important to note that it is unconstitutional as it targets only particular groups, based on religion. It does not provide an equal opportunity for all individuals based on minority status or asylum need (PTI, 2020).
