Re: Road to the 2024 Elections in India-1

Chetak, VijayK
The breadth(three large Hindi states) and magnitude (number of seats BJP got) was shocking to Congress, Opposition and Westerners.
This gives Govt lot of room to operate in.

Note MAD is taking time to select CMs. They wantself starters who are dedicated. Not useless regional satraps.
