Through quantitative analysis of electoral results and state-level studies from across the country, this volume analyses why the scale of the BJP’s victory and the Congress’s defeat in the 2014 general election was so very different from the results of 2004 and 2009. The collection’s essays, by leading political scientists, psephologists and sociologists, should interest all readers who seek an overview of national electoral trends in the run-up to the 2019 general election.
