BJP’s Demographic Dividend in the 2014 General Elections: An Empirical Analysis

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) swept the 2014 General Elections in India and emerged as a single party with absolute majority, a result not witnessed since 1984. Not only did it win a majority of seats, it also managed to increase its vote share in almost all states between 2009 and 2014. Using state-level data, we show that BJP's extraordinary poll results relied crucially on attracting young, especially first time, electors.
