There will be no riot in India to vandalize the Indian Parliament, unlike Jan 6th Capitol Hill vandalism. The US has to learn from Indian democracy. It's the people who decide and they abide with it.

Muslims in India has lot of rights just like Hindus. Honestly HISTORY SPEAKS FOR ITSELF THAT WESTERN COUNTRIES HAVE ALWAYS TRUED TO BENEFIT BY DIVIDING HINDUS AND MUSLIMS AND THE MINORITIES IN INDIA SO AS TO DIVERT INDIAS FOCUS ON PROGRESS AND KEEP RANTING ABOUT THESE DIFFERENCES OF RELIGION AND MINORITIES. THESE STRATEGIES ARE ADOPTED BY THE OPPOSITIONS ALSO AND THATS WHY THEY LOSE . THEY ARE NOT THE WELL WISHERS OF INDIA BUT ALWAYS WANTED INDIAS DOWNFALL HENCE THEY FAIL . PEOPLE KNOW IN THEIR HEARTS WHO ACTUALLY WORKS FOR THEM AND THEIR NATIONS .

We want Modi to show what real dictatorship looks like 😂😂😂😂

Jobs are plenty as private sector grown with increase of economic activity led to 5th place in world. Why western world hate idea of a hindu nation with one billion devotee when all others have declared themselves Christian or islamik nation. India was divided in three parts in 1947 as Muslim wanted a separate nation from hindu and they declared in same day a islamik state.

Get used to Modi 🔥🔥
BJP will rule for decades to come!

Accusations of electoral manipulation have arisen against Prime Minister Modi in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, with claims suggesting that his party secured a majority through questionable means. Allegations include the purported use of appointed officials to manipulate Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and postal ballots in favor of Modi's party candidates. Additionally, there's insinuation of a bias within the mainstream media, potentially aiding Modi's maintenance of power. These allegations collectively raise concerns about the integrity of the democratic process under Modi's leadership, painting a picture of diminished democracy in India.

India had never got such a dynamic leader like Modiji, hus govt planned, implemented welfare schemes without corruption by arranging digital transaction

[nikhilmishra]

Democracy at its best, with such a huge population it is heartening to see the results are taken with so much more civility as compared to America.
Modi rightly wins for the economic and infrastructure growth in the last 5 years. Opposition plays divisive politics which was fairly successful.

[arunshukla]

Modiji is always celebrating festivals at the border, serving the nation without self or family interest

[dr.shalinisingh]

Haha! BJP has followed the constitution much more than any political party in 75 years.

[Live-jkpn]

I thank Muslims in India who have protected themselves from the extremist terrorist Hindu government.😊
