For the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to lose the next Indian general elections, it will have to forfeit a huge number of votes in a high number of constituencies. For this to happen, there must be a huge vote swing in favour of the opposition parties. However, opinion polls seem to suggest that this is extremely unlikely to happen. At this stage, the BJP seems to be looking at a second term in power, albeit with a reduced majority.
