Six months after LS results: What worked & didn’t for BJP & INDIA, why Opp needs a new script

BJP is recalibrating its strategy after falling short of its expected majority in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. It has shifted towards welfare politics, embraced a larger role for RSS, and reduced reliance on PM Modi. Meanwhile, internal divisions within the opposition INDIA bloc & economic challenges loom as key factors for future elections. In Episode 1572 of #CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at how new strategies by INDIA bloc and NDA will define future elections.

Gupta ji's politics is economically capitalist and socially liberal. Its unfortunate that no such party exists in india.

Bjp got 240 seats JUST BCZ ppl did not come out to vote, Everyone thought its a done deal after RAM MANDIR.

[DugguDesai]

BJP & Modi after 240 & getting a 3rd consecutive government considered it a defeat. INC & RaGa after 99 seats thought of it as a victory and achievement. That itself set the script till 2029.
Reminds me of school days where the topper kid who was aiming for 95% ended up with 90% used to feel dejected. While the kid who kept failing, somehow passed and was dancing all over the place. 😂

The Gandhi family is completely disconnected from the ground. They seem to believe that instead of caring about the problems faced by the people, people should care about the personal issues of the Gandhi family. Nonsensical issues like Adani and the so-called 'democracy and constitution in danger' will deepen Congress's rout in future elections.

When AAP and congress does it Guptaji turns a blind eye. They were the ones who initiated this dirty business at the expense of honest hard working taxpayers.

Not script, the Opposition simply needs a new Leader. Ideally, Rahul should have been booted out after his resounding defeat in 2019. No doubt Modi was cut to size in 2024 but by the end of the year, voters of Maha and Haryana have once again crowned Rahul as "Pappu".

[svrkprabhakar]

This guy always ends his videos with something scary to say about BJP...

[sakshambhadoria]

India's political class is clueless, self-serving, incompetent, corrupt and dynastic in nature and design. Instead of improving state capacity, doing inclusive politics, initiating and participating in constructive debates they are offering band aid solutions to economic distress and social crisis. Indian voters are struggling with lack of political alternatives.

22:35 BJP did have more than 7 percent of the GDP for 2 straight years and yet, one weak quarter and the narrative absolutely changes. So Mr. Gupta, I completely disagree with you there.

[nissinlilbabybeandoc]

People are going to give a big slap to bigots using Avdesh Ayodhya MP as trophy and humiliating hindus

[suryanarayanadr]

Bjp lost about 80 seats during loksabha election mainly due to lethargy of workers and no enthusiasm shown by rss as usual..and moreover anti incumbency at constituency level

[TheLionKing]

The Print is working overtime to find a weakness in Modi Magic, when there exists none..
Maharashtra election confirmed that BJP and Modi arent going away at least for next 15 yrs
Comgress is withering away

[bhavyamankad]

BJP is back & Gupta can't digest it.

[kevindsz]

India desperately needs a new constitution. This current one is a piece of sh₹t.

[gautambasu]

Dear SG You are sad as your favourite juvenile politician have shown his true colours of failure in Haryana and then in Maharashtra! He is now being thrown out of I.N.D.I.A - and with good reasons! Loyalty to a family is your very strong point!

[RS-ykwu]

BJP lost more seats in LS Election due to over confidence. It(PM)should not have been raised the slogan of" aab kibar 400 par" & opposition raised the issue of Constitution change counter narratives.

[ThePolymerisst]

One of the few bad episodes of Cut the Clutter.
There was no clutter to declutter here tbh, just rambling around randomly 😅

[SV-wumy]

SG tries his best to pinpoint the BJP's follies and is always ready when a court ruling comes against the BJP. His heart is Congress, but unfortunately, Congress is going down the drain.

[rajanvpillai]

Not India Block, but INDI Alliance or Block. Appears to be a rep of Rahul, the so called unbiased Shekhar

[AnuragSinha]

What a joke man! "Pakistan obsession" and "tips to congress to win elections" and third one is "this upcoming panchayat election is litmus test for BJP"; these topics are SG's favourite topics to discuss. Any moment and every moment he will jump and start his class lecturing others as a headmaster thinking others are fool. We aren't fools and can see your propaganda and narrative building. :D :D :D
