Claim: Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi, who previously contested various Lok Sabha elections as Prime Ministers, won with a smaller majority than Narendra Modi's majority in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Fact-check: Comparing the majorities secured by Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi in past Lok Sabha elections with Narendra Modi's majority in 2024 is not appropriate - FACTLY
Verdict: it is not appropriate to compare the majorities secured by jawaharlal nehru and indira gandhi in the past lok sabha elections with the majority secured by narendra modi in the 2024 lok sabha elections. the total number of voters in the parliamentary constituencies contested by jawaharlal nehru and indira gandhi in previous lok sabha elections was much less than the total number of voters in the varanasi lok sabha constituency in 2024. therefore, we cannot conclude that they won with a smaller majority than narendra modi based solely on these numbers. the number of voters in most lok sabha constituencies has significantly increased since the 1960s. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
