half-way mark ( it got 31% of votes and 283 seats in 2014). But there is a catch there," Sanjay Jha said in a post on X. While elaborating on his point, Sanjay Jha pointed out that this time, the Opposition is not as fragmented as it was in 2014 and barring some exceptions, the BJP is facing one Opposition candidate on most Lok Sabha seats.
“Plus, with over 1/3rd of BJP LS candidates being defectors, the people are fed up with the daylight fraud being committed on them. Thats why the decline in voting turnout," Sanjay Jha said. My suggestion to you is: Don’t waste your vote on NOTA.
We need to improve our political systems; give the opposition INDIA Alliance a chance to prove their worth. It is a reasonable ask. They have fought a honest and people-focused campaign," he added.
