Does Mamata, Stalin's defeat signal the endgame for opposition INDIA alliance?
This week saw five state election results being declared. The outcomes will significantly determine Indian politics over the next few years and eventually shape the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.
To unpack this, Shoaib Daniyal speaks with Sanjay Kumar, a professor at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, whose post-election survey data has set a benchmark for psephology in India.
Kumar explains why the TVK managed to attract an astonishing number of voters in Tamil Nadu. Why Mamata Banerjee's woman and minority-dominated vote could not contain the BJP. What this means for the opposition INDIA alliance and why the BJP's belligerance belies the fact that it is actually running a coalition government.
