    Narendra Modi’s election as Prime Minister (PM) in 2014 presaged the most dramatic alignment of political power equations in India’s northeastern states since Independence.

    Until 2016, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had never been elected to power in any of the region’s eight states. It had not even finished as the second-best party in an electoral contest in any of these states — whether in national or assembly polls.

    Outside of the local politics of Agartala, Kohima and Imphal, the results of the latest assembly elections indicate that the processes that drove this wider reframing of the regional political chessboard over the last eight years have deepened and taken greater root. This has significant implications for national politics as we head into the 2024 election.
