The thumping majority won by the BJP in the Gujarat elections has been seen by the international media as a sign of growing public acceptance of the leadership of PM Narendra Modi. According to most reports and analyses, Modi's charismatic leadership has led to the BJP's unprecedented success. Decoding the charisma of his leadership, it is believed that the mixture of development and Hindutva image is the foundation of his charismatic image. The BJP's victory cemented Modi's dominance in India, the BBC wrote, making the Gujarat election a referendum on himself.
British news portal Independent called it a big relief for Prime Minister Modi before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Such unprecedented public support, especially amid rising inflation and unemployment, is believed to be the result of development and the miraculous leadership of Hindutva. Al Jazeera, owned by Qatar's royal family, wrote that PM Modi's Hindu nationalist party retains control of India's western state of Gujarat.
Surprising popularity
British media house The Guardian wrote that Gujarat has long been a bastion of the Hindu nationalist BJP, which has won seven consecutive elections there since 1995, but Thursday's results were the BJP's biggest electoral success. Describing Gujarat as a historic victory, American media house ABC News wrote, despite criticism of rising inflation, unemployment, and religious polarization, the growing popularity of Modi and his party is surprising.
BJP's loyal Hindu vote bank stable
