Key Points
New Delhi:Given that all political parties are immersed in calculations for the polls to the 18th Lok Sabha, the BJP will seemingly keep a close eye on at least 200 seats which it has not won even once in the last three general elections...
A close look reveals that most of these seats are in southern and eastern regions, exposing the BJPs limited influence in the states that do not fall in the cowbelt...
Similarly, these seats are in states where the party is unable to make much inroads and depend on allies some of whom have quit the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) like the Shiv Sena in Maharashtra and the Janata Dal (United) in Bihar..
We are prepared for those 200 seats, Singh says, adding that the BJP is set to open accounts in Kerala as well.. Agarwal says that the party has identified 160 seats where it came second or lost by a small margin..
Chakravarty claims that in 2024, the BJP is set to be completely wiped out of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Puducherry and adds these 200 seats will be advantageous for the INDIA bloc...
