NDA’s victory ‘lost’, ‘India’ won even after losing, what were the issues of both in the Lok Sabha elections?

New Delhi: In this general election, there was a clear picture on the issues in NDA vs India alliance. Both Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi stuck to their pitch throughout the election. In some places Narendra Modi got success while in some places Rahul Gandhi got help in stopping the unstoppable chariot of BJP. Let us know what were the issues of NDA and India alliance-NDA fought on these issues
1- Those who have brought Ram, they have to be brought back
The foundation stone of the Ram temple was laid on 22 January this year. This event had a huge impact. Its political impact was visible at the ground level. The BJP also gave a slogan in the elections, “Those who have brought Ram, have to bring them back again.” This time PM Modi himself tried to connect with the public on this issue in election rallies. It had some effect but the final result proved that it was not enough.

2- The one who gave the ration, the vote also goes to him/her
Modi government’s free ration scheme worked in the elections. The widespread effect of free ration has been seen in the last few elections. In this election too, this scheme had a magic among the people on the ground and somewhere there was a feeling of gratitude towards Narendra Modi among the poor voters. Congress realized the connect of this scheme with the people late in the middle of the elections. In such a situation, the party promised to give ten kg of free ration instead of the five kg free ration of the NDA government in the middle of the election.

3- If the prestige of the country is increased then the prestige of the vote also goes to them
In this election, the BJP led by Narendra Modi faced many more challenges. There was resentment against the local MP. Somewhere, there were vocal questions about the functioning of the Modi government after ten years of rule, but Narendra Modi’s nationalism narrative neutralized these questions. In this, an attempt was made to counter issues like inflation, unemployment and the message was given that Narendra Modi is the best option right now to get rid of these problems.

Congress is still alive, these 5 political messages came out from Lok Sabha election results 2024
India stood firm on these issues
1- The constitution has to be saved
Narendra Modi had given the slogan of crossing 400 this time. In the opinion polls it seemed that this was possible but the India Alliance saw an opportunity in the disaster. They went among the people and said that BJP needs 400 seats because they want to change the constitution. This had an impact on the ground. People somehow accepted the argument of the opposition that a big victory will change the existing system.

2- Caste census
The All India Alliance played the caste census card aggressively. They were successful in reaching out to OBCs on the pretext of this. They were successful in states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Although in the middle of the elections Narendra Modi definitely tried to counter the opposition’s agenda that the opposition wants to divide the reservation of backward classes among Muslims, but somewhere it got the benefit of sticking to this issue continuously and it was successful in making a dent in BJP’s strong OBC vote.

3- Jobs for youth, salary for women
30 lakh government jobs for the youth and a salary of Rs 1 lakh per year for women, these were two such election promises through which India Alliance made inroads into the youth and women votes of NDA. The opposition remained completely focused on these two issues. Apart from this, they publicised decisions like cancelling the Agniveer scheme. They benefitted from this in the elections.
