Sorry to burst your bubble, but no "2-3% swing" will be happening. No person planning to vote for the BJP will vote for Congress just because of this promise. Rahul as PM will never happen because TMC, NCP, and AAP will never accept him as PM face.
BJP voter base = 20% Solid Hindutva Vote + 20% Modi Vote (these people don't vote BJP they only care for Modi) + 3-5% Miscellaneous, only the miscellaneous is up for grabs. 40%, in any case, is enough to win the election. The day Modi leaves, the BJP vote will come down to 30%, and then Congress can dream of coming back to power.
Yes, this will totally change the equation. I see the entire LGBTQ community + liberal youth voting in droves for INC. BJP is done. INC just needs to do a good job of publicising this. Good riddance.
I think most gay people already were voting for the party more likely to make gay marriage happen. But even among gay people- not everyone is a single issue voter- the economy and jobs is a much more important problem. 2-3% thats very dispersed across a population usually can have very litttle electoral impact.
Economy is more than sensex. There's huge wealth disparity, not enough new jobs are being created, foreign investors are not creating new industry here, the government is deliberately undermining the credibility of economic data by withholding some data and coming up with fancy metrics just to make itself look good compared to UPA. Rural economy is down to dregs after you compensate for inflation. The vegetables market is on fire making it difficult for people to make ends meet. The price of life saving meds is skyrocketing. You would know all of this if you actually look around yourself.
Do you even understand what 2-3% of almost half a billion people means ? Seriously lawyers neither understand statistics or politics, go back to your corporate hellhole.
People like you are essential for the continued preservation of some sense of order and sanity in this country, i.e., BJP remaining in power. Please continue your contribution to Mother India!
Which world are you living in? LGBTQ are not even 0.5 percent of population. How can it impact national elections?
All the LGBT activism and awareness limited to big cities and few universities/ law school campuses. This is not an issue at all for something like lok sabha elections.
