Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, CJP protests: How 100 days reshaped India's political map
- Vijay's TVK won Tamil Nadu on May 4 — pulling Congress away from DMK and effectively pushing DMK's 30 MPs out of the INDIA bloc.
- BJP won 207 of 294 West Bengal seats — 20 of TMC's 27 Lok Sabha MPs then defected and began attending NDA strategy sessions.
- The INDIA bloc had 234 seats after 2024 — with DMK and TMC now weakened or moving away, it has become a shadow of itself.
- The CJP protest and Prashant Kishor's Bankipur by-election win suggest the next challenge to BJP may come from outside the INDIA bloc.
