MUMBAI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalists faced mixed fortunes in two Indian state elections, with his party on course to see reduced majorities as a grinding economic slowdown weighed on voters.

The BJP is seeking a second term in both states, months after Modi secured a landslide win in national polls in May despite a patchy economic record that has seen unemployment hit levels not seen since the 1970s. In Haryana, BJP chief Subash Barala - who was trailing by more than 30,000 votes in his own constituency - quit his post Thursday after early results showed the party struggling to carve out a lead, the Press Trust of India reported.

"The ... government has to take its economics more seriously. It cannot bluff its way past. Voters are not buying it," he told AFP.
