NDA

"Our pilgrimages, our temples, our places of faith, these are not just places to visit. These are indelible signs of our civilization's journey of thousands of years," the PM said while laying the foundation stone of Kamakhya temple corridor.

As the 2024 Lok Sabha elections approach, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) stands at a crossroads. While the alliance holds a comfortable majority in the Lok Sabha currently, internal dynamics, shifting political landscapes, and a resurgent opposition present significant challenges.

Strengths and Advantages:

Incumbency Advantage: The NDA benefits from being the ruling alliance, allowing them to highlight government initiatives and showcase their track record.
Modi Factor: Prime Minister Narendra Modi remains a popular figure, especially in rural areas. His personal charisma and leadership qualities continue to draw support.
Strong Organizational Machinery: The BJP possesses a well-oiled organizational structure and grassroots network, facilitating effective campaigning and voter mobilization.
Diverse Alliance: The NDA comprises various regional parties, offering a broader appeal and catering to diverse constituencies.

Challenges and Risks:

Erosion of Popularity: Concerns over economic slowdown, unemployment, and rising prices could dent the NDA's image.
Anti-Incumbency Factor: Anti-incumbency sentiments, particularly in states where BJP has been in power for several terms, could pose a threat.
Internal Discontent: Some NDA allies have expressed dissatisfaction with seat-sharing arrangements or policies, potentially leading to defections.
Rise of Opposition: The newly formed "INDIA" alliance and regional parties pose a united front, which could be a formidable challenge.

There is no new idea in Budget 2016-17: P. Chidambaram

February 29, 2016 4:37 pm

New Delhi, Feb 29 (ANI): Congress Leader P. Chidambaram on Monday said that one big take away from Budget 2016-17 was that there is no new idea presented by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, adding that NDA has followed its own brand of budget making.

He added that the government is boasting that they collected more tax than ever, but it was only due to excise on crude and not from corporate tax.
