Election for Parliament in India - Predictions for the upcoming election indicate that the incumbent ruling coalition may not secure a sweeping triumph.
During the Indian parliamentary elections, analysts forecast the ruling alliance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's victory, but the projected triumph might not occur. On Tuesday, following the counting of some ballots, the opposition seems to be outperforming projections, as per local news sources. To form the government, Modi's BJP will have to depend on its coalition allies, according to "Times of India." This would ensure Modi a third 5-year term, yet he had set a high threshold for success, stating that his BJP-led alliance would win over 400 of the 543 seats in the lower house and increase its majority. This Hindu-nationalist-leaning party, led by the 73-year-old leader, may have to cooperate with its coalition partners for its subsequent term.

If the trend continues, Modi's BJP will need to rely on its coalition allies to form the government in New Delhi, extending his tenure to a third term. However, Modi had set a challenging target for success, aiming for over 400 seats in the lower house and a significant increase in the majority for his BJP-led government coalition in India.
