- Modi needs to adapt his leadership style to the coalition politics of 2024.
- The electorate wants leaders who serve them, not a supreme leader.
- Modi must introspect and curb his instinct for brute force governance.
Why Does Modi Need to Change His Approach?
Narendra Modi, known for his strong individualistic style, now faces a different political landscape after the 2024 elections. Despite winning a third term, the BJP fell short of a majority and needs to rely on coalition partners. This shift back to coalition politics demands a more inclusive and collaborative approach, similar to that of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
What Challenges Lie Ahead for Modi?
The ordinary Indian voter has shown dissatisfaction with the aggressive use of power, issues like rural distress, inflation, unemployment, and misuse of agencies for political gains. The 2024 election results indicate that voters value basic constitutional principles like equality, dignity, and justice. Modi must now focus on these values and learn to work with allies to ensure stable governance. This adjustment is crucial for addressing real-time issues and maintaining political health.
