Indian election cycles often bring short-term economic volatility, driven by policy uncertainty, while strong GDP growth does not always translate into electoral success for incumbents. Growth rates above 8 per cent in 2024 have been used to bolster campaign narratives, but they can mask persistent concerns around inequality and job creation. Meanwhile, proposals such as “One Nation, One Poll” are projected to lift GDP growth by up to 1.5 percentage points by reducing administrative and policy disruptions.
