The voters mood in the present Lok Sabha election is becoming more and more unpredictable. Analysts say that there is no clear dominant wave in favour of either BJP or Congress. It is largely because of the absence of either pro- or anti-Modi mood in different parts of the country. As a result, the polling percentages are very low in some states in North India and the Hindi-speaking belt.
The BJP is heavily depending on the Modi factor in North Indian states where the bomb strikes on terror camps in Pakistan have create a good mood for the ruling party. PM Modi has become popular among the masses and he has repeatedly highlighted military successes in his election speeches.
On its part, the Congress is not able to take forward its campaign on alleged corruption in Rafale jet fighters deal. Rahul Gandhi’s attacks over the demonetisation and GST have also not created a big impact. So, the party had to depend heavily on the local factors in different states. The Congress expects to make significant gains in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh where its chief ministers are putting the best efforts.
