The study examines national implications including the continued trust in a strong leader; but while Modi keeps winning, the economy, border etc   all look bleak; hope for Opposition - a broad-based politics can facilitate forging long-term coalitions; the Bihar rout exposes deep divisions in the Congress once again; and finally the challenge from Asaduddin Owaisi to Hindi belt politics.
