Mumbai: The 2019 election results have been unprecedented as after four decades the incumbent government is returning with a victory bigger than the earlier.
There were many shockers as political parties lost their safest seats. As the Bharatiya Janata Party was headed to a landslide victory, the grand-old party was disappointed with some of its star campaigners facing defeat against archrivals.
The regional parties, which were speculated to have played a key role in forming a minority governement, have also not been able to make a big impact.
Andhra’s YSR Congress and Tamil Nadu’s Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam have been able to make a significant impact.
