Yes. The ruling party is handing over the country and it's assets to cappies like Adani and using religion to placate the masses so they let it happen without resistance.
Modi is pretty much portrays himself as a Godman now too.

Its already Hindu Authoritarism, if congres wins the election i dont think Modi would led them rule, plus corporatism is alive and well in india with national capitalists, the military, political elite and the masses led by the BJP all working together in benefit of the state
Military has been more resistant (relatively) compared to other parts of the Indian Government. I'm not saying a coup couldn't happen but that's the less likely scenario.
The elections aren't very fair so the likelihood of the opposition winning is low. But if they win I'm not sure what the BJP is going to do? Jan 6th but on much larger scale?
what the PRI did in Mexico in the 90s, just lie about the results, say you won, and stay in goverment, Jan 6 happen because the trumps base had no support in the goverment but in india is diferent, the BJP has been a political force for decades and whats stops Modi from declaring President's rule over congress majority states
India's always been corporation friendly. SAP and more privatization since 90s has been rolling that way. Like lately the way to go has been to disinvestment from public industry across the country. They gave air india on a silver platter to tata and took all the burden to pay off liabilities upto 60,000 crores. Meanwhile they just waltzed in comfortably. Same with ford and wistron, they left and gave the operations to tata. Tata got in after wistron didn't want the new terms from apple. Foxconn got pushed from their deals cause vedanta decided the shots. I mentioned that somewhere on lemmygrad about policy towards china shift at the behest of USA. Investment from china is antagonized at the behest western sentiments albeit doing business all the while.
Of course adani also gets leeway. They got the acquisition from holcim deal. That shit doesn't happen without the pull he has with sangh. Not to mention Ambani's jio doing a british petroleum merger. Also the reliance push for energy projects and electricity.
The main thing I'm getting at is that these structures will be still intact even if bjp isn't in the scene. Like in chennai there was eviction drive where like 100 homes werw demolished for like a beautification drive in the city. Lot of companies for the time would love to move operations to states where either they get proper support from sangh bigwigs or other parties. That was the case when modi ran gujarat. Same with other states with similar admins like andhra.
I'll give a refresher. Pierre omidyar funded sks microfinance was a devastating thing which led to lot of farmer suicides across india but mainly andhra. Very reminiscent to de soto policy push in peru under fujimori.
As I said these structures will remain steady even with any other admin and so will the sangh without an admin at centre. And when I say sangh I don't mean the parivar. I mean the upper caste rich bankrollers abroad. So no it won't have more or less escalation that wasn't there prior. Cause the other admins sure won't be a threat to their operations.
