'Trend is very clear from the start': Modi's alliance on course to win India elections
Supporters of Narendra Modi , India 's Prime Minister and leader of Bharatiya Janata Party hold his portrait as they celebrate vote counting results for India 's general election, outside a counting centre in Bengaluru. Prime Minister Narendra Modi 's alliance is on course to win.
The Hindu nationalist BJP won a majority of its own when it swept to power in 2014, ending India's era of unstable coalition governments, and repeated the feat in 2019. Markets had soared on Monday after exit polls on 1 June projected Modi and BJP would register a big victory, and the ruling National Democratic Alliance was seen getting a two-thirds majority and more.
Congress alone was leading in nearly 100 seats, almost double the 52 it won in 2019 - a surprise jump that is expected to boost Gandhi's standing. "But we need to wait... to have a final picture of the seats because the exit polls speak of a massive sweep, the counting trends currently don't seem to match that," he said.TV exit polls broadcast after voting ended on 1 June projected a big win for Modi, but exit polls have often got election outcomes wrong in India.
Bank of Baroda economist Sonal Badhan said the lack of a majority for BJP on its own could mean"some slowdown in policy decisions can be expected".
