At this time current PM of India is leading Voting in the world's largest democracy is widely seen as a referendum on the current prime minister Modi.

Here more India election: Modi headed for win, but landslide unlikely Modi declares victory as results continue to come in Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared victory following weekslong voting for the Indian Lok Sabha (parliament). "People have placed their faith in [National Democratic Alliance (NDA)], for a third consecutive time! This is a historical feat in India's history," Modi wrote on social media platform X, referring to the alliance led by his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). While the official result has not yet been declared, Modi looked to be on course to secure a third term as prime minister, a feat only achieved once before in India's history, and namely by the country's first leader after independence, Jawaharlal Nehru. However, Modi's victory is a far cry from the landslide victory seen in the 2019 election or even in comparison to the major victory predicted by exit polls. www.dw.com/en/india-election-modi-headed-for-win-but-landslide-unlikely/live-69259737 |

Other party declared defeat BJP concedes defeat in Ayodhya seat The Hindu nationalist party of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has conceded defeat in the constituency of Faizabad, home to the controversial Hindu Ram Temple. The temple was inaugurated in January, fulfilling a key Bharatiya Janata Party pledge that had also been seen as a means of cementing Modi's legacy. It was built on the site of a 16th-century Muslim mosque that was destroyed in riots in 1992. The construction of the temple had sparked controversy, but the BJP pushed its inauguration during its campaign rallies, betting on it as an election winner among its Hindu-nationalist support base. The loss in Faizabad, however, suggests this bid may not have paid off. The BJP candidate who won in both 2014 and 2019, Lallu Singh, was ousted by the candidate for the socialist Samajwadi Party, Awadesh Prasad, who had a 50,000 lead over his rivals. www.dw.com/en/india-election-modi-headed-for-win-but-landslide-unlikely/live-69259737 |
