Seemingly small things can seriously impact final outcomes. Like we learn in school how for the want of a nail for the horseshoe the kingdom was lost.
India's 2024 poll result has a close resemblance to the England-Australia Ashes series of 2005. Australia had been keeping the Ashes for 16 years from 1989.
Australia went 1-0 up in the first test, but minutes before the second test at Edgbaston, Australia's key strike bowler Glen McGrath tripped on a ball and injured his leg. England went on to win the series.
In India's 2024 election, the NDA was expected to dominate the I.N.D.I.A. alliance but it was much closer than expected.
It finally boiled down to Odisha where Naveen Patnaik's BJD was expected to win, like in the previous 24 years. But BJP picked up 20 of Odisha's 21 seats.
Where did Patnaik falter. Every analyst says, his decision to pick VK Pandian, an IAS officer and a native of Tamil Nadu as his poll strategist and give him overriding powers.
That alienated BJD cadres and apparently large sections of voters. Did that one decision by Patnaik alter the political course of 1.4 billion Indians?
