[chiranthanmr]

I think she read 90 million as 900 million.

[princetripathi]

10% of India's population, which is approximately 135 million people, lived below the poverty line of $2.15 per day in 2019

[amitsharma]

Why only 900 million??? Just Say everyone is below poverty line in India

[sumananutalapati]

What the heck! A group of parties together aren’t getting more than one party? This is all one sided then!!!!

[david-bdtd]

Mr Modi’s BJP, a dominant force in Indian politics for a decade, was expected to maintain its grip. But Tuesday's trends have jolted the party, forcing it to rely on allies to form a government.

[rationalthinker]

Western media are you happy influencing the Indian elections results??? 😡😡😡😡
What a intruder 😡😡😡

[Preetvnd]

Wait what ? 900M living below poverty line? The World Bank estimates that 11.9% of India's population lives in poverty using a benchmark of $2.15 per day. What kind of news channel is this?

[realnapster]

900 million must be under poverty line in U.S. have you seen the inflation and homelessness in America? India seems to be doing well with record breaking growth lately.

[GameChanger-crhx]

Tight margin? All the opposition that are a threat have been disqualified or locked up.

[sumananutalapati]

Her name is Amin 😂😂😂😂 what do you expect??

[AmericanFarmerHVAC]

" tighter than expected margin" fascinating isn't it?

[Nina-eovp]

The people of India have spoken and spoken well . They have rejected modis himdutva fanatics, temple politics, trashing democratic institutions and its weaponisation.
People need the bare necessities of life

[ketoacid]

What is considered "the poverty line"?

[Copycat]
