Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his allies are leading in the general election count, poised to secure a third term in office.
However, their parliamentary majority is expected to be reduced. Modi’s campaign, which focused on appealing to the Hindu majority, has raised concerns about the rights of minority communities, particularly the 200-million-strong Muslim population.
Despite these concerns, Modi remains confident, stating that the people of India have voted in record numbers to re-elect his government. Early figures indicate that Modi and his coalition allies are on track to win, but with a reduced majority.
