Who is the Next PM of India in 2024: Major Findings

  • The latest Google Search data shows Congress picking up momentum compared to January 2018. This is probably due to the Bharat Jodo Yojana. Still, BJP has a substantial lead.
  • PM Modi enjoys an approval rating of 74% according to the latest Morning Consult survey. Typically an approval rating of 50-55% is enough for re-election
  • Performance of Prime Minister Modi [2019-22]
Lok Sabha Opinion Polls 2024: Who is Next PM of India in 2024?
  • 53% of respondents prefer Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister in 2024
    • 66% of voters think the PM is doing a Good/ Outstanding Job overall
    • 48% of the voters think the Government is doing a Good/ Outstanding job on the economy
  • None of the opposition candidates cross 10% in preference for PM
  • NDA’s Strong Voting Blocks (2019)
    • Upper Caste
    • OBCs
    • These two voting blocks make up about 55% of India’s population. NDA wins nearly 75% of its votes from the two voting blocks
  • The factors favoring Narendra Modi’s re-election in 2024 are:
    • TINA (There Is No Alternative) – The TINA factor has been one of the major factors that helped Narendra Modi cruise through the 2019 Lok Sabha election. The same seems to be turning out to be a major factor that may help Narendra Modi win the consecutive 3rd. As of now, the public is yet to be convinced by any of the opposition faces who could be an alternative to Narendra Modi in 2024.
    • Divided Opposition – After the 2014 Lok Sabha election, there have been talks about opposition unity. But the opposition unity has been more hype than reality. In 2019, a Mahagathbandan was formed to take on Narendra Modi and his party BJP. But by the time the Lok Sabha election in 2019 came, the Mahagathbandan looked more like an alliance between a few parties than the mega opposition coalition. The same turned out to be true even for the 2024 Lok Sabha. The opposition has more faces who are eyeing the Prime Minister’s chair and none want to compromise despite all having the same common enemy, Narendra Modi.
    • Funding – The other main factor that the opposition in India lacks is funding. BJP is not short of funds and with power in major states of India, they can contest any election with a huge might. The opposition on the other hand does not have enough funds to take on the mighty BJP. Though they may show the intent of defeating Narendra Modi and the BJP, the funding issue will keep their campaigning to limited reach and BJP will be able to spread their message to the majority and the message will be loud and clear.
    • Performance on key development initiatives: Apart from the previously implemented, Swacch Bharat Yojana, LPG schemes, PM Kisan Samman Yojana, and PM Awas Yojana have also caught pace

“When I left them (BJP) and came here, different parties from every state across the country called me and thanked me and asked me to remain united. Now we are only waiting for Congress. If all the opposition parties come together and fight the 2024 Lok Sabha elections together then the BJP will be restricted to under 100 seats. If everyone unites then it will be a big thing. I was waiting for this.”

However, a new front is developing which is likely to be free from BJP and Congress. The Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao has taken the initiative to lead the 3rd front. Recently he inaugurated the Khammam Collectorate Building and in a show of strength, he was joined by Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan, and the Samajwadi Party Chief, Akhilesh Yadav.

However, before the 2024 Lok Sabha election, the BRS Party formerly TRS will be defending their own fortress, that is Telangana which will go for election in the last month of 2023. If KCR manages to win big he will have bolder say and can pit himself as the PM face.
