What are BJP's chances in Coimbatore? | Election 360 | Lok Sabha elections 2024

The first vote in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls will be cast less than 20 days from today and 968 million people will participate in this exercise, which is more than double the population of United States of America.

Out of these, 18 million are first time voters in the age group of 18 to 19 years. These elections are far from a contest between even-stevens and cynics speak with certitude that the results are a foregone conclusion.

But even among such claims, there are several uncertainties that we will take a closer look at. Will the BJP really cross the 370 mark that it has set for itself? How will the Congress fare in the Hindi heartland where it is on a decline? Can the BJP allies really deliver their part of the bargain? And what about the complicated maths of Maharashtra?

At the Ramlila Maidan in Delhi, the INDIA bloc leaders raised questions on fairness of the electoral process. Can democracy survive when such questions are being raised? The questions are endless, and we'll try to answer some of them.

But in this first episode of our new election special, Election360, we will take you to Tamil Nadu and specifically to the battle of Coimbatore. The BJP has named its dynamic State president Annamalai as its candidate and it is one of the intriguing battles to watch out for.

To discuss this is senior deputy editor KV Prasad, the Coimbatore’s bureau chief.

[kiranshetty]

News paper which refused to cover Anna malai s yatra doing unbiased election analysis 😂😂😂 irony 😂

[sh]

Tamilnadu couldn't ignore this hardworking charismatic Annamalai

[NarendraKulkarni-fgfx]

The anchor needs to know the facts that earlier BJP did win in Coimbatore and also in Kanyakumari, Question seems bit irrelavant as facts where not looked into before this discussion. The Hindu, standards are real high! That's what as a reader/listener we intend to hear for

[HeavenRacer]

Any thing above 1 is gain for BJP in TN. It wikk form government without it also. And if BJP of it's own cross 12% it would be a great start for BJP in TN. Certainly BJP is working in TN for 2026 and 2029. ADMK doesn't have any future. BJP has ideology, money, power. It only needed cadre which they built in past 3 years.

The hindu - change the brand name of your newspaper to "the Anti - Bharat" - or "the Chinese Puppet" or "the Anti hindu"

[anilkumarmk]

Election commission should stop these types of campaigns too.
THE HINDU is well known for ANTI-BJP news and acts.

[kumarn]

Annamalai is not famous in Tamilnadu....he become infamous just by saying controversial comments on Jayalalithaa and other tall leaders ! He is an unpopular trying to project that he and his party has grown in TN through just social media only ! 😂

[debarupdeshmukh]

[lourdesjohn]

The Hindu should be renamed as The Negative

[kumarn]

Simply stating Facts doesn't mean Anti- Anti - Bjp is not Anti-Hindu !😂

[atulpandey]

I was too in RAM LEELA MAIDAN, even 30%seats were not filled.

[dhruvakumar]

what a great guy, He could've simply joined DMK or AIADMK which was the safest and easiest thing for him to do politically, but he chose the least favorite party in TN BJP for their Ideology risking his career, hats off to Annamalai
