Re: Road to the 2024 Elections in India-1

Many stars aligning in favor of NDA. Hope they & the average Hindu do not become complacent and assume that Modi 3.0 is a given

If BJP gets < 272, Modi will be leader of opposition. Dotty alliance, for all their infighting, start with a 20% head-start, thanks to minorities.
