Data from 2019 and 2014 Lok Sabha elections shows that in 9 out of 10 constituencies where incumbents were dropped, BJP still won. It also did well in seats where incumbents were fielded.

During party's 1st first parliamentary meeting in ongoing 2nd leg of Budget session, PM Narendra Modi said the Opposition is 'nervous' after BJP’s performance in Gujarat and Northeast.
PM met 36 BJP MPs from poll-bound Uttar Pradesh over an informal breakfast Friday, and advised them to connect with people and form bonds with party workers such as booth pramukhs.
RJD, once a prominent representative of Mandal politics, now finds itself in a political era where welfare, good governance, and new aspirations are overshadowing old caste equations.
