India's Modi Poised for Victory in General Election Amid Weak Opposition

As India begins its six-week general election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to secure a historic third term, buoyed by his popularity and a fragmented opposition.

Nearly a billion voters are participating in India's general election, the world's largest democratic exercise, which commenced on April 19, 2024.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeks a third term, a feat only achieved once before by Jawaharlal Nehru, amid high expectations of a strong victory due to his widespread appeal and the Bharatiya Janata Party's dominance.
The opposition, led by the Congress Party and its allies, struggles with internal divisions and lacks a clear prime ministerial candidate, diminishing its chances against Modi's BJP.
Modi's campaign focuses on national development, Hindu nationalism, and economic growth, promising to position India among the top three global economies.
Voting will conclude on June 1, with results expected on June 4, as the nation decides if Modi's leadership will continue to shape India's future.
