Modi's party lost its majority in India's parliamentary elections
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has lost its majority in India's parliamentary elections. It was a surprise blow to Modi, who came to power in 2014. Modi now has to negotiate with his coalition partners to stay in power. Analysts believe that Islamophobia and nationalism will increase in the country.
After all the votes were counted in the early hours of June 5, it became clear that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's hopes for the parliamentary election results of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had not been met. On the contrary, Hindus across the country opposed the prime minister and his nationalist policies.
The BJP, which lost 62 seats, won a total of 240 seats, short of the 272 required to rule the House.
For Modi, who came to power in 2014, this is the first time the BJP has failed to win a clear majority on its own. But with his political allies known as the National Democratic Alliance (MDA), Modi could win 292 seats, enough to form a majority government. If so, Modi will rule the country for the next five years.
Analysts say the results will have major implications for India's post-election political landscape. In particular, experts expect that Islamophobia and nationalism will increase in the government.
