NDA’s peak and opposition’s path: Analysing the 2024 election verdict in Assam - Madhya Pradesh Journal of Social Sciences - 29(2), Dec, 2024: p.16-25
In the 2024 General Election, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won
11 of the 14 seats in India’s northeastern state of Assam while the Indian
National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) secured three seats.
This is the first election in the state after the delimitation exercise of 2023
redrew constituency boundaries. Although the balance of seats won by the
incumbent alliance and the opposition is largely similar to the previous
election, the pattern of voting that produced the present verdict points out
notable shifts. Using both aggregate and survey data, this paper would
argue that the verdict constitutes a triumph for the NDA while also
concealing underneath a story of its approaching saturation and a debacle
for the opposition that however opened up the possibility of its resurgence
in Assam.-Reproduced
