Injurious to Party Health - Partnership with BJP
In recent years, several regional political parties across India have witnessed a noticeable decline in voter support and electoral performance after aligning or supporting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Parties such as the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP), People's Democratic Party (PDP), All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), Biju Janata Dal (BJD), and Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) have either lost significant ground in key electoral battles or experienced a steady erosion of public support. This shift highlights the challenges regional parties face when aligning with a dominant national force like the BJP, which often leads to their own base disillusionment.
