Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has declared victory in the general election, securing a third consecutive term for his coalition, but fell short of the landslide win he anticipated. The BJP-led alliance won 288 out of 543 parliamentary seats, while the opposition INDIA coalition secured 233 seats, defying exit polls. The muted celebrations at BJP headquarters contrasted with the jubilant mood at the opposition Congress party office. The narrower-than-expected victory has raised concerns about the BJP's ability to pass legislation and maintain its dominance.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has won a third consecutive term in the 2024 general election but failed to secure an outright majority, falling short of the required 272 seats in the 543-seat parliament. This marks a significant setback for Modi, who has always secured majorities in past elections. The Congress Party-led INDIA opposition alliance made a surprising comeback, defying earlier predictions. The BJP's drop in seats is attributed to issues like joblessness, rising prices, and divisive campaigns. Modi's third term will likely depend on coalition partners, signaling a return to coalition politics in India.
