Might get greater Indian involvement in Iraq. In OTL India and Pakistan had agreed to in principal join the Americans in post war Iraq, India actually told one of its divisions about deployment and Pakistan formations got as far as commecing pre-deployment training. In India it was delayed till after the election and Pakistan followed suit. By the time the dust was settled the bankrupcy of the American military in Iraq was clear and everyone backed away slowly.
Vajpaiyee had promised the US Ambd and would probably still have gone in which would have probably led Pakistan to join.
