Modi's Emphatic Win (Re)Defines New India

SUMMARY

On May 23, 2019, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi won a second five-year term — many calling it an "emphatic mandate" based on national security while others terming it a ‘global trend’ of right-wing populists sweeping to victory.Official data from the Election Commission of India (ECI) showed Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 303 of the 542 seats being contested, up from the 282 it won in 2014 and more than the 272 seats needed for a majority in the Lok Sabha (lower house of the Indian parliament). That would give it the first back-to-back majority for a single party since 1984. According to Amy Kazmin, New Delhi-based Financial Times’ South Asia bureau chief — "(this win is) nothing less than the reordering of India’s political landscape.
