SynopsisOn 23 May 2019, when the results to the general elections were announced, Narendra Modi and the BJP-led NDA coalition was voted back to power with an overwhelming majority. Regardless of one's political standpoint, one thing was beyond dispute: this was a landmark verdict. In 2019: The Modi Election, Sardesai relives the excitement of the various twists and turns that have taken place over the last five years, and culminated in the NDA's victory. In the process, he tries to understand and make sense of the contours and characteristics of a rapidly changing India, its politics and its newsmakers. If the 2014 elections changed India, 2019 might well have defined what 'new India' is likely to be all about. 2019: The Modi Election takes a fascinating look at that story, which is still developing.
