In Ayodhya and across UP, many voters made the same choice, reducing the BJP’s share of seats in the state in its northern heartland from 62 out of 80 in 2019 to just 33, its biggest loss in any state. The party also lost 14 seats in Maharashtra, mostly in rural areas, and ten seats in Rajasthan, another poor northern state, as well as in rural constituencies across India. Besides (unfounded) concerns that a new BJP government could abolish affirmative-action policies benefiting poor or lower-caste groups, the party’s losses hint at a general sense of economic disaffection among the roughly 450m Indians, mostly from the country’s poor north, who get by on odd jobs, small-scale self-employment or farming, supplemented by government welfare.
