About the talk

Haryana and Maharashtra went to the polls within six months of a resounding victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. While India is amidst economic slowdown, the popularity of prime minister Narendra Modi remains high and has contributed to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s strong showing in both these states. To understand this phenomenon, the Centre for Policy Research team will present a detailed analysis of the result which will be followed by a wider panel discussion.

The full talk will be streamed through Facebook live on CPR’s Facebook page.

This panel discussion is supported by Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung – South Asia.
