Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The electoral victory of the UPA over the NDA in 2004 can be considered a �critical� election insofar as it appears to have decisively reversed the dominance of the BJP. It has also brought about an electoral realignment, reversing the fortunes of a party (Congress) that had virtually been written off. The election did not necessarily reveal new cleavages, although women, dalits and OBCs made their electoral presence felt more acutely this time (see Yadav 2004); rather, it showed that Hindutva hegemony over Indian society was exaggerated by various pundits and observers, or perhaps more accurately, it has revealed the impossibility of either political formation gaining hegemony in Indian politics. This paper examines the relationship between party formation, political economy and hegemony in a single case, namely, Gujarat. By closely examining a single case where the BJP and its Hindutva allies appear to have succeeded in fulfilling a �hegemonic project�, we can see what factors explain its success, and whether these very factors may limit its political ambitions.
