The highly anticipated Lok Sabha elections of 2024 have come to a close, leaving the nation captivated by the dynamic shifts in the political landscape. As the dust settles, it is time to delve into the most significant wins and losses that have shaped the destiny of India’s representative democracy.
The Uttar Pradesh Conundrum: A Seismic Shift in the Heartland
Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state in India, has long been a stronghold for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). However, the 2024 elections have presented a remarkable turnaround. The Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Indian National Congress (INC) have managed to secure a combined 43 seats, a significant increase from their previous performance. This alliance’s success has dealt a blow to the BJP’s dominance in the state, which had previously enjoyed a comfortable majority.
The Rise of the SP-INC Alliance
The Samajwadi Party’s resurgence, securing 37 seats, has been a testament to its ability to connect with the diverse electorate of Uttar Pradesh. The party’s emphasis on inclusive development and social welfare schemes has resonated with the masses, allowing it to make substantial gains. Complementing this, the Indian National Congress has also managed to increase its tally to 6 seats, a remarkable improvement from its previous single-seat performance.
The BJP’s Diminished Stronghold
The Bharatiya Janata Party, which had enjoyed a near-total control of Uttar Pradesh in the past, has seen a significant decline in its seat count. From securing 62 out of 80 seats in 2019, the party has now managed to win only a slim majority, reflecting the shifting political dynamics in the state.
West Bengal: A Tussle for Dominance
The political landscape of West Bengal has long been dominated by the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC), led by the charismatic Mamata Banerjee. However, the 2024 elections have witnessed a notable shift in the balance of power.
The Trinamool Congress Retains Stronghold
Despite the challenges, the Trinamool Congress has managed to maintain its position as the leading political force in West Bengal, securing 29 seats. This achievement underscores the party’s resilience and its ability to connect with the state’s diverse electorate.
The BJP’s Continued Struggle
The Bharatiya Janata Party, which had made significant gains in West Bengal in the 2019 elections, has seen a decline in its performance. The party has managed to secure only 12 seats, a significant drop from its previous tally of 19. This result highlights the BJP’s ongoing struggle to establish a strong foothold in the state.
The Congress Resurgence
Amidst the tussle between the Trinamool Congress and the BJP, the Indian National Congress has emerged as a surprise performer in West Bengal. The party has managed to secure a respectable number of seats, showcasing its ability to capitalize on the shifting political dynamics in the state.
Kerala: A Landmark Victory for the BJP
The state of Kerala, long considered a bastion of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the Indian National Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF), has witnessed a historic development in the 2024 elections.
The BJP’s Maiden Victory
For the first time in Kerala’s political history, the Bharatiya Janata Party has managed to secure a Lok Sabha seat in the state. Suresh Gopi’s victory in the Thrissur constituency, albeit by a narrow margin, marks a significant milestone for the party’s efforts to expand its footprint in the southern state.
The Congress Maintains Stronghold
While the BJP’s breakthrough in Kerala is noteworthy, the Indian National Congress has continued to maintain its dominance in the state. The party has managed to secure 14 seats, reinforcing its position as a formidable political force in the region.
Maharashtra: A Setback for the BJP-Allies
The state of Maharashtra, which has traditionally been a stronghold for the Bharatiya Janata Party and its allies, has witnessed a surprising turn of events in the 2024 elections.
The INDIA Alliance’s Ascent
The INDIA alliance, comprising the Samajwadi Party, Shiv Sena, and the Indian National Congress, has emerged victorious in Maharashtra, securing a total of 29 seats out of the 48 available. This impressive performance has dealt a significant blow to the BJP and its partners, who were expecting a stronger showing in the state.
The Congress Shines in Maharashtra
Within the INDIA alliance’s success, the Indian National Congress has stood out, securing 13 seats on its own. This achievement underscores the party’s resurgence and its ability to capitalize on the shifting political dynamics in Maharashtra.
Karnataka: A Mixed Bag for the BJP
The state of Karnataka, often considered a stronghold for the Bharatiya Janata Party, has presented a more complex picture in the 2024 elections.
The BJP’s Diminished Dominance
While the Bharatiya Janata Party has managed to secure 17 seats in Karnataka, this represents a significant decline from its previous performance. The party’s inability to maintain its stronghold in the state has been a notable development.
The Congress and JD(S) Gains
Amidst the BJP’s diminished performance, the Indian National Congress has managed to secure 10 seats in Karnataka, while the Janata Dal (Secular) has won seats in two constituencies. This shift in the state’s political landscape reflects the changing preferences of the electorate.

Conclusion: A Transformative Moment in Indian Democracy
The 2024 Lok Sabha elections have undoubtedly been a transformative moment in the annals of Indian democracy. The surprises and shifts witnessed across various states have challenged the conventional political narratives and opened up new avenues for political realignment.
As the nation grapples with the implications of these results, it is clear that the electorate has demanded a more inclusive and responsive governance model. The rise of regional parties and the resurgence of the Indian National Congress suggest a growing desire for a more pluralistic and decentralized political landscape.
The 2024 elections have also highlighted the importance of forging strategic alliances and the ability to connect with diverse constituents. The success of the INDIA alliance in Maharashtra and the SP-INC coalition in Uttar Pradesh underscores the value of collaborative efforts in navigating the complex political terrain.
Looking ahead, the 2024 Lok Sabha election results will undoubtedly shape the trajectory of India’s political future. The challenges and opportunities that emerge from these outcomes will test the resilience and adaptability of the country’s political institutions and leaders. As the nation moves forward, it is crucial to uphold the principles of democracy, embrace inclusive governance, and ensure that the voice of the people remains the guiding force in shaping the nation’s destiny.
