PM Modi favourite for 2019 Lok Sabha elections, say US political experts
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emerged as a clear favourite for the
2019 general elections after the BJP's landslide victory in assembly
elections in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, top US experts on India have
said.
While one of the experts noted that the electoral results of the just
concluded Assembly polls in five states show that the 2014 Lok Sabha
election results were not an aberration, another noted that Modi would
continue to lead India after 2019.
The Assembly elections do not signal much of a change. The Uttar Pradesh
election results showed that the 2014 general elections were not an
"aberration". Same is the case with Punjab, Adam Ziegfeld, Assistant
Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at the George
Washington University said.
Modi has been established by this election as the "clear and favourite
winner" for the 2019 elections, Sadanand Dhume, a resident fellow at the
American Enterprise Institute said.
