This does not mean caste or party organisation have become irrelevant, but it shows that performance and candidate credibility can reshape voter choices. In my view, the larger lesson is that political loyalty is increasingly conditional. New parties can succeed if they convert local dissatisfaction into a credible organisational and policy alternative rather than merely criticising existing parties.
