The RSS journal "Organiser" has called the 2024 Lok Sabha elections a "reality check" for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi securing a third term. The BJP fell short of a majority, relying on the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) coalition. The piece by RSS member Ratan Sharda criticized the party's "overconfidence" and detachment from grassroots sentiments. Sharda noted that imposing candidates cost local support and hurt the party's standing, particularly in Maharashtra. RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat stressed the need for humility and social cohesion in political discourse.
