642 mn Indians have decided — Modi will be PM, albeit with a strong opposition this time

For the first time in a decade, the Hindu nationalist BJP has failed to form a majority in the lower house of the Parliament on its own, with the Congress-led INDIA bloc launching a surprise attack to hault the ruling coalition's march towards 300 seats—a far cry from its 400-seat target.
