Significance

Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is widely thought to have an unwritten rule that its leaders must retire from active politics at 75. The next general election is due in 2024, when the prime minister will turn 74.

Impacts

Pandemic-related restrictions will deprive Modi of the chance to use overseas trips to mobilise support from the Indian diaspora.
Opposition criticism of the Modi government’s handling of the economy will cost the BJP support in some state elections.
The prime minister will campaign personally in upcoming state polls in a bid to bolster his party’s chances.
