Abstract: In the 2019 and 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) enjoyed a significant appeal among the youth. However, in 2024, the stakes completely changed and the party ended up losing significant seats. This article explores political participation of youth in 2024 Lok Sabha elections and focuses on the central question: Is the youth still attracted to the BJP? Using data from National Election Study (NES), the article discusses how the youth have voted and the reasons behind their voting choice. The findings reveal that despite extensive efforts of political parties in carving out a youth constituency, none were truly successful.
