Happy Leap Year 2024: How political parties, EC & leaders' efforts will achieve progress in the new year
BHARATIYA JANATA PARTY
A big leap if BJP makes a hattrick of winning elections, a feat till now enjoyed by Congress under India’s first Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru
With Ram Mandir and Article 370 done, the ruling party will now push for third core issue of uniform civil code, which is currently being tested at the state level
With core objectives of the ruling party nearly achieved, BJP will need new driving issues for the cadre
Can the party breach the southern frontier in its quest to become a pan-India party
INDIA BLOC PARTIES
After a dismal round of state elections, Congress needs a great leap to be in the reckoning for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi requires leaps of rebranding to be a credible challenger to the ruling dispensation that looks strong
Opposition requires their poll funding to grow by leaps and bounds to match BJP’s election blitz
INDIA parties require faith in each other to stick together and fix issues, including seat-sharing
Opposition parties want VVPATs across all polling stations, but that looks a distant dream
BIJU JANATA DAL
Can Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik win another term and become the longest-serving chief minister in the country
With Patnaik’s close aide VK Pandian joining the party, can BJD take a generational leap
Can the party continue to maintain equidistance from both BJP and the Opposition alliance
YSR CONGRESS PARTY
Can YS Jagan Mohan Reddy repeat the success of his father YSR Rajasekhara Reddy by winning two successive assembly elections at a time when his family members are distancing themselves from the Andhra chief minister
Can YSRCP still be attractive to voters, especially after the loss of BRS in the neighbouring Telangana
