Indian Elections 2019: Modi, Rahul Gandhi and the Stockholm Syndrome

Indian national elections have always excited Indians. Because of the visits that Modi did to the different countries in the world and the changes that he brought about in India,  this election is exciting to the international community too. With the opposition parties not quite forming a coalition but accusing one another instead,  this election has no unified challenging candidate against PM Modi.  However, it is these opposition voices that do not let the excitement diminish. With the congress being the only national party and the rest reaching their regional audiences alone, the focus is naturally on the Congress Party and its dynastic leader Mr Rahul Gandhi.

How Did The BJP/Modi Manage to Get a Landslide Victory in The 2014 Elections in India?

The Historic Victory

The BJP/Modi has won India's general elections 2014. It has been termed a landslide victory. Leaving the Congress to do the job of reflection, it went for a celebration.
But then, while the results surprised both the BJP and the Congress by the scale of the victory, it surprised pollsters with the correctness of their predictions (after getting it wrong twice before). By ending normalised coalition politics and the canvassing on the lines of cast, ethnicity and creed, and beginning assurance of development for all and use of technology, it also created history.
