 Welfare and Electoral Politics

  • Social welfare is central to Indian politics, driven by inequality and poverty.

  • Welfare initiatives influence voter behavior, but voters also consider how accessible and effective the benefits are, not just who provides them.

Voter Expectations and Experiences

  • Voters are discerning consumers, evaluating the quality and accessibility of welfare services.

  • Easy access and good service can benefit the incumbent, while poor service delivery may drive voters toward the opposition.

Evolution of Welfare Politics

  • Initially welfare aimed at reducing inequality, but it has shifted towards direct transfers and subsidies to align with market-led reforms.

  • Welfare is now a tool for political parties to claim credit and mobilize voter support, with a focus on tangible benefits.

Challenges of Centralized Welfare

  • The BJP’s centralization of welfare schemes often leads to credit monopolization, but it doesn’t always guarantee votes.

  • Voters care more about the local government’s delivery of services, and issues like last-mile delivery and access can reduce the effectiveness of credit-claiming.

Impact of Personal Economic Condition

  • Voters' financial satisfaction influences voting decisions: those happy with their economic condition tend to support the incumbent, while those dissatisfied, especially with poor welfare access, tend to vote for the opposition.
