Leveraging the Power of JAM: Jan Dhan, Aadhar and Mobile

JAM vision, will serve as the bedrock of many initiatives to come. For me, JAM is about Just Achieving Maximum. Maximum value for every rupee spent. Maximum empowerment for our poor. Maximum technology penetration among the masses. -Narendra Modi 67 years after Independence, India still had a large part of the population who had no access to banking services. This meant, they had neither any avenues for Savings, nor any opportunity to get institutional credit. PM Modi launched the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana on 28th August to address this fundamental issue. Within a matter of months, this scheme has radically transformed lives and futures ...

A New Approach to Development: Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana

PM Narendra Modi shared his vision for the Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana on it’s launch. ‘One of the biggest problems for us has been that our development model has been supply-driven. A scheme has been prepared in Lucknow, Gandhi Nagar, or Delhi. The same is attempted to be injected. We want to shift this model from supply-driven to demand driven through Adarsh Gram. There should be an urge developed in the village itself. All we need is to change our mind set. We need to unite people’s hearts. Normally MPs are engaged in political activities, but after this, when they will come ...

Rural Electrification is happening at a rapid pace, and is being done in an unbelievably transparent manner.

Ushering in Unprecedented Transparency

·         Empowering Different States Equally with boost to Federalism

Never before seen ‘Team India’ approach to work for India’s development In a unique departure from the past, PM Modi has stressed on the need to leverage co-operative & competitive federalism to achieve all round growth. For a long time, we have seen a Big Brother relationship between the Centre & States. A ‘One Size Fits All’ approach had been used for years, not taking into account the heterogeneity of different states and their local requirements. The NITI Aayog was formed to further empower and strengthen the states. An important evolutionary change from the past will be replacing a Union-to-State one-way ...

G20 Presidency:   It was a prominent and prestigious moment for India, as it hosted the G20 summit in New Delhi from 8th to 10th September. The 2023 G20 New Delhi summit was the eighteenth meeting of G20. It was held in Bharat Mandapam International Exhibition-Convention Centre, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi on 9–10 September 2023. It was the first G20 summit held in India.  The 18th Heads of State and Government Summit of the Group of 20 (G20) will take place in September 2023 in New Delhi, India. Under the Indian Presidency, the G20 in 2023 will focus on the theme, 'One Earth, One Family, One Future'.


The Bharatiya Janata Party is the fastest-growing party in the country, and its organization is the largest in the world. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has successfully led the nation since 2014, the party has excelled in steering the country towards development. The BJP is making efforts to unite everyone in the mainstream of the nation. "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas" (Together with All, Development for All) is their motto.

Unlike some political parties, they have not adopted appeasement politics but rather emphasize the importance of satisfaction for all, not just a particular group. The BJP is committed to revitalizing India's glorious past and making it even more prestigious. Under Narendra Modi's skilled leadership, the BJP has not only made a mark in India but also brought pride to the entire world in the name of India.

The BJP has addressed the most burning issues in this country, and in it, those extremely significant ones like Article 370, the Ram Temple, the Women's Reservation Bill, surgical strikes on Pakistan, GST implementation, and demonetization have been thoroughly executed.

Similarly, now the important issues that need to be worked on in the country include implementing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), officially naming the country as "Bharat," increasing employment opportunities, promoting industries near villages and towns so that people don't have to migrate to cities for work but can find jobs near their homes.


There's also a need to work towards "One Nation, One Constitution," and "One Nation, One Election" to streamline the electoral process. Efforts should be made to make every citizen of the country self-reliant. Implementing a two-party election system could help prevent regional and local parties from attempting to divide the country on the basis of religion, caste, and regionalism.

Given the increasing support and voter confidence in the BJP, it is prudent to suggest that the party will maintain its position at the pinnacle of Indian politics and govern the nation for many decades starting from 2024. It appears that the Congress and other regional parties will lose their standing to govern the country once again. The BJP boasts a roster of formidable leaders who could succeed Prime Minister Modi if he expresses unwillingness to continue or if his age or health restricts his involvement in the years ahead. Notably, the BJP possesses charismatic leaders such as Yogi Adityanath, Amit Shah, Nitin Gadkari, and Sudanshu Trivedi, who have the potential to lead the party for many more years.

BJP's Dominance in Indian Politics: A Long-Term Projection till 2075

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a major political force in India, has exhibited remarkable prowess in recent times, consistently securing electoral victories and establishing its dominance in the political arena. This paper delves into the factors contributing to the BJP's success, analyzes its electoral strategies, and attempts to project its future trajectory in Indian politics until 2075. While predictions in politics are inherently uncertain, an exploration of the BJP's current standing, historical context, and potential challenges can provide insights into its potential longevity.

Introduction: In the vast tapestry of Indian politics, the BJP has emerged as a prominent player, reshaping the political landscape through its strategic maneuvers, effective communication, and electoral successes. With a string of victories and a growing influence, the question arises: can the BJP's dominance sustain until 2075? This paper attempts to unravel this intricate query by examining the factors behind the party's ongoing success and projecting its potential trajectory over the next several decades.

1. The Rise of the BJP: A Historical Overview: To understand the BJP's current standing, it is essential to trace its historical journey. From its origins as a part of the Jan Sangh, the party has traversed a complex path marked by ideological evolution, leadership changes, and strategic alignments. The role of key leaders such as Atal Bihari Vajpayee, L.K. Advani, and Narendra Modi has been pivotal in shaping the party's identity and broadening its appeal.

2. Factors Driving BJP's Success: The BJP's consistent electoral victories cannot be attributed to a single factor. Instead, a confluence of elements has contributed to its ascendancy:

a. Effective Communication Strategy: The party has displayed a remarkable ability to connect with diverse voter segments through strategic communication. Utilizing social media, mass rallies, and targeted messaging, the BJP has successfully disseminated its ideology and policy initiatives.

b. Strong Leadership: Under the leadership of Narendra Modi, the BJP has presented a charismatic figure who resonates with a substantial portion of the electorate. Modi's appeal extends beyond traditional party lines, enabling the BJP to attract a wide range of voters.

c. National Security and Development Narrative: The party's emphasis on national security and development has struck a chord with voters, particularly in an era of global uncertainties and economic challenges. Its narrative has resonated with aspirational and nationalist sentiments.

d. Coalition Building and Alliances: The BJP has adeptly formed alliances with regional parties, expanding its reach and securing support in states where it lacks a strong foothold. This strategy has played a crucial role in its electoral victories.

3. Challenges to Sustained Dominance: While the BJP's track record is impressive, it faces challenges that could potentially impact its future standing:

a. Ideological Cohesion: Maintaining ideological cohesion within a diverse party can be challenging. Differences within the party could lead to internal strife and erode its support base.

b. Changing Demographics: India's demographics are evolving, with a growing youth population that may have different political preferences. Adapting to the changing demographic landscape will be critical for the BJP.

c. Regional Dynamics: Regional parties continue to wield influence in certain states. The BJP's ability to navigate complex state-level politics will determine its success in specific regions.

d. Socioeconomic Factors: Addressing socioeconomic disparities and meeting the aspirations of India's diverse population are essential for the BJP to maintain its appeal.

4. Projecting the BJP's Future: Predicting political outcomes over several decades is inherently challenging due to the dynamic nature of politics. However, projecting the BJP's trajectory until 2075 involves considering several scenarios:

a. Scenario 1: Continued Dominance: If the BJP sustains its current strategies and manages to adapt to changing dynamics, it could maintain its dominant position in Indian politics. This scenario assumes effective leadership transitions and the party's ability to remain relevant to emerging generations.

b. Scenario 2: Erosion of Dominance: Internal divisions, failure to address changing demographics, or unforeseen events could lead to a decline in the BJP's dominance. Regional parties might gain prominence in certain states, altering the political landscape.

c. Scenario 3: Evolving Coalition Politics: The BJP might continue to build alliances with regional parties, further solidifying its position. Alternatively, evolving coalition dynamics could lead to a more balanced multi-party system.

Conclusion: The BJP's rise to prominence and its continuous victories have undoubtedly positioned it as a formidable player in Indian politics. While predicting its dominance until 2075 remains speculative, a careful analysis of its current strengths, historical context, challenges, and potential scenarios provides valuable insights. The party's ability to adapt, innovate, and effectively address the evolving needs of the electorate will determine whether it remains at the pinnacle of Indian politics in the decades to come. Balwant Rana's observation of the BJP's journey reflects the complex interplay of political dynamics that will shape India's political landscape well into the future.
