REPLAY - Special edition: India counts votes in world's biggest election • FRANCE 24 English

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi looked set on Tuesday to retain power at the head of a ruling coalition, but his Hindu nationalist party lost its outright majority for the first time in a decade as voters defied predictions of another landslide. The outcome spooked investors, with stocks falling steeply as emerging results showed that Modi would, for the first time since sweeping to power in 2014, depend on at least three disparate regional parties whose political loyalties have wavered over the years. Watch our special edition in replay.

Indian and South African elections are fair. Western Naysers talking about autocratic democracy in India can have a cup of coffee!

[fxoobic]

Lets talk about Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Nobody even this panel cares .

As an Indian Christian, I know that BJP is the party for development, progress and inclusive growth. A pro capitalist party. While opposition has been socialist. Modi NDA 3.0 has made history as being the first party to repeat power three consecutive times in 60 years. Talk about the positives also, and stop only one sided criticism. No party is perfect, and yes BJP should improve and may in future learn from mistakes where they used wrong words. But the growth for India has been for all Indian citizens and not limited to certain demographics, and we Indians respect the decision of our democracy. We support people’s decision and cherish this new era of India.

#BJP

2014 : 282 seats with 31% vote share
2019 : 303 seats with 37% vote share
2024 : 245 seats with 39% vote share

Just shows complexities of election maths

Also I believe BJP was on track to simple majority but for some blunders like ED/CBI misuse, breaking govts & parties, taking corrupt leaders in party which costed them & helped to consolidate opposition vote share

Student with 70% marks not happy because he deserves more and not got marks as per expeditions but student with 30 marks happy, who already failled in all exams several times and there was no expectations of even 30%, he knew that he was going to fail but all suden he got 30% but this time he also failed.

Those who won - they are upset
Those who lost -they are celebrating.
However I'm happy with this result. 😂😊

[ashishbadola]

One who win is upset
One who celebrating....😂😂😂
Everyone have different mindset or different goal...

[LovingAllll]

Hope elections in USA the Banana Republic are also conducted with as fairness and transparency as in mature democracies like India.

[tamoghnadas]

Democracy has won. No more armtiwsting and heckling of the system. Laws and bills will be passed with due diligence and debate. People have ensured that the govt is more accountable.

[purvanshrathore]

this was an election to protect constitution....and that has been achieved by denying modi a special Arrogance and dreams of becoming dictator of India are now shattered....he has been tought a lesson of politeness and is no more a strong man and that is defeat!!!!

[Amazonforest]

People in India don't want the development of infrastructure, military upgradation, strong internal security, flourishing J&K, pok, boost in startups, achievements in space exploration, easy cashless ecosystem and improvement in India's image in the international arena. They want freebies, caste reservation, religious reservation and free money in their bank accounts. India is very lucky that inspite of this immaturity displayed by its own citizens, a capable leader like Narendra modi again came to power in an historical win. This victory will be the turning point in the journey, that will take India from a developing nation towards a developed

[henaimtiyaz]

More of a grim victory not the victory they forecasted.

[abhikulkarni]

[subramanianramajayam]

If it were for any other country, the opposition would have been in trouble for their casting doubts on fairness of elections without proof.

[mahendransamy]

Modi will correct mistakes what he have done in last term . We hope he will do better coming term.

[OnlyFactsAndData]

Funny to see.. even after loosing they are celebrating 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[abhikulkarni]

Because of BJP 400 goal opposition's more than 30 partys combined made alliance against BJP but result . a single BJP almost win 239seats & apposition alliance combined almost win 235 seats 😂 Still BJP has become the largest party in India.

[maitreyaeiupadhyay]

Well west won't deal with him any difference. He is still the leader of world largest market. So chill

[mjtm]

That professor is an absolute hypocrite. It wasn’t in India when an elected man called for an armed violence when he suffered defeat. Where was his democratic backsliding when trump called on his supporters to seize White House. If you say that India lacks behind in press freedom, I would challenge the hosts of this show to travel to Afghanistan and try interviewing taliban and see what happens.
