Official results are to be released Thursday, but the polls suggest Modi will return to power.

By Joanna Slater Joanna Slater Foreign correspondent covering South Asia Email Bio Follow May 19 at 11:00 AM NEW DELHI — Prime Minister Narendra Modi appeared poised to win reelection in the world’s largest democracy, according to exit polls released after voting ended Sunday in India’s marathon national election.

But Sunday’s exit polls suggested that Modi’s Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party and its allies would win a majority of seats in the lower house of India’s parliament. Over the last five years, the Modi government instituted a handful of economic reforms, rolled out schemes to assist poor Indians and launched a nationwide cleanliness drive. But it failed to deliver on its core promise to create jobs: The unemployment rate surged last year to a 45-year high.

Not on topic, but traditional clothing is so bright and colourful. Not boringly the same as everyone else.

The key question of our time/generation would be how we deal with the growth/spread of illiberal right wing sentiments all over the world. What does it mean for civil rights? The ‘third world’ ? Is it a regression or the new normal ?

Liberals, as they do in other parts of the world, tried to manufacture a perception through their falsehoods that Modi is divisive and corrupt. Liberals tried all shenanigans through their falsehoods, some paid journos wrote columns in WP against Modi. But 🦁 keeps roaring.

Just edit The Washington Post to The third class Post, biased media platform, shame on you.

So long as the candidate doesn't practice open defecation... it really doesn't matter.

Indian elections are just like their wedding. F*king sh*t never ends. Any how modi is great news as he will make india is most f’ed up country one can live in

Cry Washington Post Cry ! Lol 😆😆😆😆

Indian Election Exit Polls Suggest Prime Minister Narendra Modi Could Stay in PowerIndian exit polls suggest Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the nationalist leader who has dominated Indian politics since he swept into power in 2014, could get another five years leading the world’s largest democracy. They dip their finger in ink so they can’t double vote Put the finger Inside your vagina Don't spread this news. Most news channels have been sold to the ruling party since it came to power. These channels often predict wrong. They have lost all the credibility. They are misguiding the masses. There will be coalition govt.

Modi proclaims a cleaner India, but the reality may be more murkyEvery morning around dawn, dozens of people gather by the dusty banks of a strea... Best is he attempted to make such 'Cleaner India' which he succeeded too in this short period! Nobody gave any shit before that.. Prime Minister Modi is still in power even after losing the air war with Pakistan? Amazing. He must have old friends in power that are as old as India’s warplanes. Extraordinarily idiotic reporting even by standards. 'Many people in north and south India told Reuters that a lack of toilets near fields where farmers spend their day' Somebody traveling in the wilderness would defecate in the open if nature calls.

Modi proclaims a cleaner India, but the reality may be more murkyEvery morning around dawn, dozens of people gather by the dusty banks of a strea... 'may be more' speculation disguised as news Cleaner India has to be clean in mind and thoughts too If it had not been for Modi, nobody would have attention to this issue. Which reporter was writing about it in 2014? There are still areas of improvement and let Modi focus on them in his 2nd term.
