BJP may remain in power for at least 20 years, according to Axis My India founder Pradeep Gupta. Gupta drew a parallel with the Congress's long period of dominance and suggested that Indian politics is witnessing another cycle of one-party predominance.
Gupta predicted that the ruling party's position would remain secure as long as its governance performance does not weaken significantly.
He cited Congress's example, explaining that there is a "threshold in politics" and that the BJP could similarly remain the central pole of Indian politics for an extended period.
Gupta emphasized that the future of both the ruling alliance and the opposition depended heavily on the performance of the incumbent government, saying that the BJP will now have to "super perform" to meet the increased expectations from the public.
He noted that Congress faced consequences of "legacy issues" related to perceptions of past misgovernance, making its political recovery a longer process.
