What the win in northeast mean for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections

The BJP and its allies put up an impressive performance in the three northeast. The BJP is set to form the government with its allies in Nagaland, Meghalaya and Tripura.

The push for this region in the country can be seen from the fact that in May 2016, the North-East Democratic Alliance or NEDA was formed by the BJP. Assam Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma was appointed as the convenor of NEDA.

The victory in North East is likely to have an impact on the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Currently the NEDA Jhas 19 of the 25 MPs from this region. In the Rajya Sabha there are 10 MPS.

What has done the trick for the BJP is that Prime Minister Narendra Modi recognised the seven states in northeast as a potential block.

The Union Government has also spent crores of Rupees in creating infrastructure in the region, especially connectivity.

The BJP has also addressed issues such as illegal immigration, which have been major in these regions.

Getting Sarma on the BJP's side was also a major plus. Since getting Sarma in 2015, the BJP has allied with many regional parties and also several young leaders and old-timers of the Congress have joined the saffron party.

This win in northeast will give a further boost to the the BJP and its allies in the northeast.

In the months to come the BJP would continue to make a big push in northeast while focusing on the five other states which will go to polls this year.

It was being said prior to the elections in the three northeastern states that the stakes will be high for the BJP in the run up to the other state elections and the big one in 2024.
