BJP’S STRATEGIC DEFEAT AND NITISH KUMAR’S PIVOTAL ROLE IN FORMING GOVERNMENT IN INDIA

According to the Election Commission of India, the BJP won 240 seats, lower than their 2019 election tally of 303. The Congress won 99 seats in the 2024 election, a significant contribution. Although the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won the elections, they reduced their majority. Nitish Kumar’s party is leading in 15 seats, NDA in 13, and India in 9. Speculations suggest Nitish Kumar may play a “kingmaker” role, becoming a decisive factor in forming the government.
