NEW DELHI - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling alliance could achieve a crucial majority in the upper house of parliament next year if some small regional parties join the bloc that recently won a massive mandate in the lower house, according to a projection by an independent research firm.
The prediction by PRS Legislative Research, which tracks the functioning of India’s parliament, shows that the BJP alone could secure 83 seats in the upper house by next year - 10 more than it currently holds. The increases in the NDA numbers in the projection come from states like Uttar Pradesh in northern India that the BJP resoundingly won in the 2017 state election.
“There are several unfinished items from the first term because the NDA did not have a majority in the Rajya Sabha, and we are looking forward to the time when some of these items can get passed and legislated,” BJP National Vice President Baijayant Panda said. That would allow it to pass constitutional amendments such as ending the decades-old special rights for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, the country’s only Muslim-majority state, parts of which are also claimed by neighboring Pakistan.
Hopefully he will address the colorism that has existed in India for years.
As narendramodi gaining more and more power in national politics, at the same levels India is losing great power status in world politics.
This SOB is crazy.
