Voting in India's election ends, Modi's alliance projected to win majority

[RandySF]

All voting in India's general election ended on Saturday. Local media released the results of exit polls showing the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's alliance seems on track to win a parliamentary majority required to keep him in office.

The final round of the seven-phase election, which is the world's largest with nearly 1 billion eligible voters, finished on Saturday. The voting took place in 543 electoral districts.

Modi heads the governing Bharatiya Janata Party, or BJP, and seeks a third term as prime minister. The party won a majority of seats in the previous 2019 general election, and the ruling coalition gained nearly two-thirds of the seats.

Media exit polls predict that such momentum will continue this time as well.

4. Neither can they.

That is part of the overall problem, it seems to me. I do not understand why they keep electing Modi. It boggles the mind but then I look at the US and I understand, sort of.

5. Modi is insane

He is a power-hungry dictator-wannabe.
