Can BJP Expand Its Presence in South and East India in the Elections? Recently, BJP celebrated its 44th foundation day. Before being known as BJP, it was known as Jan Sangh, perceived primarily as a party of urban and business interests.

 However, times have changed. Despite BJP's dominance in central and most state governments, it is still seen as a party of northern India, with weak presence in the south and east, excluding Karnataka.

It's true that BJP has secured the majority of its seats in northern India, and analysts believe that further growth prospects in this region might be limited.

Some even suggest that BJP's seats in northern India might decrease after the elections. However, compensating for this loss could be possible only through gains in south and east India.

The actual outcome of the elections remains uncertain, and I refrain from making predictions.

Nonetheless, prominent election strategist Prashant Kishor has made some surprising predictions that have caught the attention of the media.

He suggests that based on his analysis, BJP could emerge as the first or second party in Telangana, a significant development.

He also asserts that BJP is likely to become the number one party in Odisha. What's more astonishing is his prediction that BJP is poised to become the number one party in West Bengal.

Additionally, he anticipates a significant increase in BJP's vote share in Tamil Nadu.

The accuracy of Prashant Kishor's predictions will only be known after the election results.

However, his projections bring a sense of satisfaction to BJP as it hopes for improved performance in these states.

The upcoming elections will be crucial in determining BJP's expansion prospects in south and east India.
