Has the ‘Modi wave’, as named by the saffron camp, fizzled out unlike previous years? The trend in this year’s general election appears to be hinting that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is losing its grip over the state. 

According to the statistics, of the 19 parliamentary constituencies that Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited in Maharashtra, the BJP and Mahayuti candidates in 15 of them have lost. This includes 18 rallies/public meetings and one road show. The saffron alliance led by Modi managed to win only three of the constituency seats where the PM visited.
