What India's election results mean for Modi

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has secured a third term in office, but hundreds of millions of eligible voters handed his party and its allies a substantially reduced mandate. Avantika Chilkoti, international correspondent for The Economist, joins CBS News to break down the results.

I love how irritated is foreign media after modi 3.0

[mos]

Two people who know nothing about India talking about Indian elections and Modi.

[amitsarkar]

India is not a communist country for wealth to be distributed. That idea is nothing but Muslim appeasement for vote bank politics.

[Hellowordp]

I love how foreigners talk about Indian politics 😂😂😂😂 get some real Indian political experts on the talk please

[remeshsadasivan]

American talking to British indian, pls talk to someone in India doesn't matter which side are

Gujarat riots were a "pogrom" according to the Economist? 1/3 of people killed were Hindu in this "pogrom." How the standards of journalism have tumbled, especially for the economist.

[rajatprakash]

why don't these people call out Congress and other opposition parties in India who do Muslim appeasement policies just to gain there votes and create divide between Hindu and muslims in India, why blame Modi only?

Modi has frankly nothing to loose now. He will go all guns blazing.
Don't forget his one party has more seats than opposition's 24+ parties..
Expect Modi's party to have full majority within 6 months or a snap poll within a year with massive mandate.

My mistake. I clicked onto CBS News. What nonsense, shallow and ignorant.

[PIG_ALLAh]

I don't know why Entire world is obsessed with India's elections.
Every day i saw hundreds of Youtubers and news channels outside of India discussing elections.

Bjp led by modi increaeed its vote share by 6.8 million votes compared to 2019 and still lost around 70, 80.seats.
Biggest oppostion party, congress actually lost its voteshare but managed to add 50, 60 more seats.
What does it tell you?
Its all about local booth management and caste equations. These so called Indian journalists/analysts/experts are all bunch of ediots selling bullsht to their western overlords who don't understand India or Indian elections.
Im not an expert but i can tell you actual reason why bjp lost some seats this time.
1. Bad candidate selection.
2. Bad booth management.
They selected bad candidates and didnt listen to local workers complaints. Gave away tickets to candidates who joined from other parties. Majority of these candidates actually lost.
Bad booth management was another reason. Bjp central leadership was too overconfident and thought theyll win in the name of narendra modi. Showed arrogance towards local state leaders and party workers.
Party management at local level was absolutely horrible.
They didnt even went to ask for votes

[cindykoira]

don't worry foreign policy will be same, those alliance parties have supported BJP since 90's

[amitsarkar]

2002 riot was initiated by Muslims with attack on HIndu pilgrims in Godhra, then it spreaded to other parts of Gujarat. Modi involvement was not found by court. Since then no riot has occurred.

[shhayar]

[Wizardof]

[manjulasingh]

Foreign media is free, not bought over by govt, one gets a more realistic picture from them

[anamikarao]

[penprogrammer]

[akshay_madeit]
