BJP Gets Early Jump on 2024 by Releasing First List of Candidates.
In a strategic move ahead of the 2024 elections, the BJP has declared the names of candidates for almost 90% of seats while also replacing over 100 sitting MPs.
By being the first major party to come out with its initial list, the BJP hopes to gain momentum at a time when other opponents are still finalizing alliances and faces.
The list, which omits some senior leaders and ministers, signals the BJP’s quest to retain power by fending off anti-incumbency and fielding fresh blood.
Political pundits argue the early discharge gives the BJP time to allow new candidates months of campaigning before polls begin.
However, other parties accused the ruling NDA of forcing the issue prematurely and misleading people by projecting a 370+ seat agenda despite recent losses.
With elections still two years away, it remains to be seen if this first-mover tactic pans out or instead causes unrest within state units over the exclusion of veterans.
For now, the BJP is pushing full steam in Mission 2024 even as competitors work to create a united anti-Modi front.
