For the first time since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party swept to power in 2014, the party did not secure a majority on its own in 2024 national election. But the prime minister’s coalition is still expected to run the country for another five years.
Modi’s allies generally support pro-Hindu legislation, but making new policies could be complicated by coalition politics and a slimmer majority.
Despite a setback, many of the Hindu nationalist policies he’s instituted over the last 10 years remain locked in place
Just the BJP not getting a majority isn’t enough to stop the hindutva movements. It’s more of a blip than a trend at this point. It is good to see Modi get embarrassed though.
Restored some of my faith in the Indian people to some extent to see that he lost out in the same city where he built the temple.
