In anticipation of the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections, an India TV-CNX opinion poll has cast a spotlight on the formidable challenge facing the 'INDIA' bloc, a coalition of 26 opposition parties, in their bid to unseat Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The survey predicts that if the elections were held today, the NDA-BJP alliance would maintain a significant lead, positioning them well ahead of their competitors. This advantage is expected to extend to key states such as Karnataka, Gujarat, Goa, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and several northeastern states, excluding Manipur, reflecting the enduring popularity of Prime Minister Modi and the BJP in these regions.

INDIA Bloc's Regional Gains Amidst National Challenge

The India TV-CNX poll indicates that the opposition alliance could achieve gains in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Manipur, Punjab, and Bihar. However, the survey also underscores the daunting task the opposition faces in realizing their overarching objective of unseating the NDA-BJP coalition at the national level in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. This analysis highlights the intricate and dynamic landscape of Indian politics, where regional dynamics play a crucial role in shaping electoral outcomes, even in the face of a formidable national incumbent.
