Prime Minister Modi is facing a big headache in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections. Today we’re going to tell you what’s causing it, and why he can’t ignore it anymore.

Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Bihar and Tamil Nadu – These five states together account for 249 seats in the Lok Sabha. That’s a little over 45 percent of the Lok Sabha’s strength. According to a C-Voter survey, three of these five states are dissatisfied with the BJP, on multiple levels – right from the PM and the CM, to MPs and MLAs.
