Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came first but lost its majority in parliament.

Narendra Modi is set to take oath as Indian Prime Minister for the 3rd time on June 8.
The incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi has secured a third term while the opposition also made rather surprising gains in the country’s general elections.
The 2024 general elections saw Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lose its outright majority in the parliament.
However, on Wednesday Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he would form the next government for the third term.
Modi needs the support of allies after his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) fell short of the majority mark for the first time since 2014.
The BJP secured 240 seats in the Lok Sabha, the lower House of the parliament, in a major electoral setback as the poll survey had projected the Hindu nationalist party to win by a bigger majority.
