The BJP in 2024 shocked itself by doing remarkably badly and losing a significant number of seats.

One of the reasons for that, when you look closely at the data, is that they lost a part of the population that was most deeply affected by economic distress.

So I presume those same forces are working within parts of India.

you know, maybe not so successfully in Uttar Pradesh, but in other parts of the country.
