Abstract

The 16th Lok Sabha elections were held in India from April to May 2014. After the counting of votes on May 16, it was declared that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) scored a landslide victory over the Indian National Congress. The BJP came back to power by winning a singleparty majority in the Lok Sabha. One of the most important factors that caused the change of government this time was the pressure from the people, who demand good governance from the government. The matter of "governance" will be an important keyword in Indian electoral politics and party politics. The matter of governance has also become important in politics at the state level. We can find two cases of regional parties — the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi and the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) in Andhra Pradesh - that have boosted their power by having close links with citizens' movements demanding good governance. Both of these two parties were successful in forming a government at the state level. These state-level political phenomena regarding the matter of governance may change the Indian party system in the long term.
