About the Discussion:
The BJP has successfully retained power in the politically significant state of Uttar Pradesh. What explains BJP’s performance? Why did the opposition fail to put up a formidable challenge? Does this historic return of the incumbent signal what is in store in 2024, when Lok Sabha elections are to be held? Scholars at the Politics Initiative at CPR will present a data-driven analysis of the Uttar Pradesh assembly election results.
