‘They built the Ram temple. That is bigger than providing jobs.’
Quick Glance: Unemployment and Hope: A Tale from Jharkhand
  • Ajit Kumar Yadav works as a security guard in Mumbai, separated from his family in Jharkhand in search of work.

  • Despite the harsh working conditions and low income in Mumbai, Yadav values the construction of the Ram temple by the BJP government more than the creation of jobs.

  • Yadav has faced numerous challenges over the years, including job searches in various parts of India and disappointment over unfulfilled development promises by the government.

  • While emphasizing the need for jobs and infrastructure in his own village, Yadav's loyalty to the BJP remains strong due to the Hindutva ideology and the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.

Quick Glance: Can the BJP Make Inroads in the Southern Indian States of Tamil Nadu and Kerala?
  • The BJP may increase its vote share in these states, but votes may not translate into seats in parliament.

  • The BJP has had a poor electoral track record in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Despite aggressively wooing Tamil voters, polls suggest that the party may not win seats in the parliaments of these states.

  • In Tamil Nadu, the BJP is focusing on promoting Modi and a Tamil leader to attract young voters. In Kerala, the party is trying to court the support of the Christian community and showcase Modi's development strategy.

  • Despite intense campaigning in both states, it is expected that the DMK-Congress alliance will sweep all 39 seats in Tamil Nadu and the Congress-led UDF will secure 17 out of 20 seats in Kerala. The BJP may only see an increase in its vote share without winning any seats.
