Abstract

This SADF Focus outlines the onset of the 17th General Elections in India between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Grand Coalition of parties, which includes the Congress. Political campaigns currently swing between divergent areas – we witness a great variety of promises, including ‘India/Hindu First’ propaganda and strong promises related to poverty removal, promise of employment, and others. Come this 23rd May, the counting of votes would define a choice between majoritarian politics and populism.
