"The machinery that produces electoral outcomes has itself become subsumed
within the BJP's political project.

Let me begin with a provocative proposition I made after seeing the new
Election Commission of India (ECI) ? one that may sound excessively cynical
to many, but is unfortunately not yet off the mark: for the next thousand
years, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will not lose an election unless it
chooses to lose one. Not because its politics have become irresistible, nor
because the opposition has collapsed beyond recovery, but because the
machinery that produces electoral outcomes has itself become subsumed
within its political project. Its choice will be determined solely by its
own strategic calculus ? whether the marginal gains from electoral victory
are worth the corresponding loss of legitimacy in the eyes of both the
Indian and international public. The five-state election results of May 4,
2026, only seem to confirm this proposition."
