Sources have stated that Shailesh Kumar, a Eurasia Group senior analyst for South Asia stated that BJP is also likely to try and expand its base of support beyond north India by making political inroads in the southern state of Tamilnadu, the eastern state of Odisha and attempting to shore up alliances in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Currently, bigger structural reforms are still stymied by the BJP's lack of a majority in India's Rajya Sabha, or upper house of parliament, which means PM Modi's party has been unable to push through politically-sensitive changes to the country's land and labor laws, despite the BJP having a majority in India's lower house of parliament, the Lok Sabha.
However it was stated that the situation in the upper house should
eventually improve if the BJP keeps winning state level elections the way the
BJP won big in Uttar Pradesh, the country's most populous state at 200 million
people that could catalyze industrial investment and additional financial
services reforms.
