The idea of dynastic politics is facing a huge setback this time. Several prominent dynastic politics figures like JD (U)’s Nikhil Kumaraswamy in Karnataka, PDP’s Mehbooba Mufti in Jammu Kashmir, TRS’s K Kavitha, Congress’s Vaibhav Gehlot in Rajasthan and Jyotiraditya Scindia are facing defeat. It is not that all such figures are facing defeat, but it is true that many of them are losing. There are some dynastic politics figures who are approaching victory. The successful ones are JD (U)’s Prajwal Revanna in Karnataka, NC’s Farooq Abdullah in Jammu Kashmir, DMK’s Kanimozhi in Tamil Nadu and BJP’s Dushyant Singh in Rajasthan.

The BJP, which is slowly inching towards a historic victory, is likely to convene a parliamentary committee meeting tomorrow to evaluate the election result and to prepare a note to thank people for the support they have offered to them in the form of their precious votes. The BJP is expected to win not less than 300 seats in the present General Election. That means it will singlehandedly acquire the number of seats required to prove its majority in the parliament. The BJP’s election machinery deserves a special appreciation for the way they have handled the election campaign. The victory of the BJP is the victory of the nationalism narrative projected by the saffron camp during the election campaign sessions.
