Seminar Report on The Role of Big Data in Election

The effective use of big data was one of the many factors for the electoral success of the Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in India. In the 2014 elections, the use of data, technology, and digital platforms played a central role in the way the campaigns were designed, structured, targeted, implemented, and communicated. Technology and data were also key in strategically navigating the complexities of demographics, religion, politics, caste.
