The Bharatiya Janata Party under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party chief Amit Shah delivered the biggest-ever victory for the organization, creating history in the process. PM Modi became the first non-Congress leader to retain power at the Centre with a clear majority for a second term in succession.
PM Modi improved upon Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s record as the first home grown BJP leader who was re-elected after a truncated first term and cut short his full term early only to lose power.
The sheer scale of BJP triumph can be distilled into two clear segments — impeccable organisational support backed by micro-level planning backed by a sharp campaign to deliver home the message that PM Modi needs another five-year term to complete his transformational project of creating a ‘Naya Bharat’ or ‘New India’.
