Modi made the Indian election a referendum on his leadership -- and it paid off | Analysis by nkreports
New Delhi In purely electoral terms, it is an extraordinary achievement. Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party have won a clear victory in India's national elections.
Final results are still outstanding, but Modi's BJP have currently won 297 seats, putting them well beyond the 272 threshold needed to form a government. Modi has been given a second term mandate that's larger than the one he secured in 2014, when he first became Prime Minister.
