Indian Politics & Policy • Vol. 3, No. 1 • Spring 2020
Editor’s Note
We devote this issue to an analysis of the 2019 Indian national
elections, which ushered in a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government
with an overwhelming majority. Professor Sanjay Kumar
of the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies in New Delhi is the
guest editor of this special issue. The articles that he commissioned examine
a number of different facets of the election and its outcomes. All the analyses
are based on a careful sifting of substantial bodies of electoral data obtained
from post-poll surveys. It is our hope that the readers will find these
analyses of the elections to be compelling and illuminating.
