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]
- 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

Jammu Kashmir
Farooq Abdullah, the leader of the National Conference backed MK Stalin, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister to be a joint opposition’s prime ministerial candidate for the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
Bihar:
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said that the united opposition can restrict BJP under 100 seats. He said, “
“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.”
Uttar Pradesh
BJP Claims of Winning 80 Lok Sabha Seats of UP: Uttar Pradesh BJP chief Bhupendra Chaudhary said that BJP is working to win all 80 seats from Uttar Pradesh. However, countering the claims of BJP chief, Samajwadi Chief Akhilesh Yadav said that BJP may lose all 80 seats from Uttar Pradesh.
BJP Intensifies its Pasmanda and Bohra Muslim communities Outreach: Recently PM Modi in the BJP’s NEC meeting set a target for the BJP workers to connect with the Pasmanda and Bohra Muslim Communities. BJP has charted out plans to work on the 65 Lok Sabha seats where these communities have some influence.
Telangana
In a run-up to the Lok Sabha 2024 election, the Indian National Congress has made it clear, Rahul Gandhi will be the face of UPA and with his Bharat Jodo Yatra, Mr. Gandhi has sent a clear message to all the opposition parties that he will be leading the charge BJP.
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. However, it is for time to say how the third front will take shape as the 2024 Lok Sabha election is a year away from now.

Sashi Tharoor:
It will be impossible for the Bharatiya Janata Party to replicate its 2019 electoral triumph in 2024. It is ‘conceivable’ that the ruling party can lose ’50 seats’ in the Lok Sabha.

Lok Sabha Election Prediction 2024: Has Any Leader Won Record 3rd Term?
Before Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister of India, India had 13 Prime Ministers. However, only two Prime Ministers have been elected for three consecutive terms. The first one was the first Prime Minister of India Jawahar Lal Nehru and the second one was his daughter Indira Gandhi. None other than Nehru and Indira Gandhi have been able to win more than 2 consecutive terms.
Jawahar Lal Nehru won the 4th term but was unable to complete his 4th term as he died during his 4th tenure as Prime Minister of India.
Will BJP Lose 2024?
No, there is no scenario in which BJP will lose 2024. The main reasons are moderate economic conditions, direct-to-home benefits programs (Water, Housing, Insurance, etc), lack of competition in Urban seats, absence of a strong opposition leader close to the stature of Modi, and lack of adequate funding.
2019 Lok Sabha Election Summary
In 2014, Narendra Modi and his political party Bhartiya Janata Party won the Lok Sabha election. BJP on its own won 282 seats while the coalition, NDA won a total of 336. It was the first time since 1984 that a party had won enough seats to govern without the support of other parties. BJP on its own got a 31% vote share which was the lowest by any party winning majority on its own since independence.
In 2019, after five years of anti-incumbency, the political pundits were predicting that BJP will emerge as the single largest party DNA Exclusive | Jungle raj, legacy of corruption, 1 million jobs: Why ‘Nitish for PM in 2024’ is easier said not win a majority of its own.
The result surprised many as Narendra Modi-led BJP won 303 seats and the BJP lead coalition NDA (National Democratic Alliance) won 353 seats. Rahul Gandhi-led Congress was once again decimated. They managed to win only 52 seats. BJP managed to improve its vote share too, from 31% in 2014, BJP now got a 37.4% vote share.
Lok Sabha Opinion Poll 2024: Conclusion
The 2024 Lok Sabha election is still two years from now and several state elections are to take place before it. If the opposition is to defeat Narendra Modi and BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha election they will have to win most of the upcoming Vidhan Sabha election.
The state that will go for election before the 2024 Lok Sabha election in Gujarat, Himachal, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chattisgarh, Tripura, Nagaland, and Meghalaya. Barring Rajasthan and Chattisgarh, the rest of the states have either a BJP government or a BJP coalition government. The opposition needs to win a maximum of these states in order to keep their hopes high for the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
Therefore, considering the several factors, it can be said that Narendra Modi may be able to return to power once again unless the opposition comes together and place a strong face against him.
