Official results will only be known by Tuesday, but most exit polls show he is likely to command a majority at the lower house of parliament.

India began counting hundreds of millions of votes in its general election on Thursday, with a coalition led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party already preparing to form the next government.

Counting of the more than 600 million votes began at 8am local time and trends were expected to be known by noon. Final results are due by Thursday evening. "National security became the discussion," said Harsh Pant, a political analyst at the Observer Research Foundation think-tank in New Delhi."It allowed the BJP to shirk some issues where it was weak."

Several opposition leaders attempting to unseat Modi have urged voters to wait for the final results, calling the exit polls"gossip".
