In re: The economy & politics of today's India

In general:

1. Poor & Lower Middle Class Indians are doing BETTER economically than their parents were.
2. Middle Middle Class & Upper Middle Class Indians are doing a LOT WORSE than their parents were.
3. Lower Upper Class & Rich Indians are doing BETTER than their parents were.

In general:

• The BJP is relying on the first category.
• The Congress is relying on the second category.
• The third category will swing WHEREVER things are going.

Emotive issues and identity politics are in addition to the above.

2029 could go either way.
