Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is currently leading India's elections with 38.68% of the votes counted, according to data released by the national election commission on Tuesday. As half of the votes are now tallied, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is projected to surpass the majority threshold of 272 seats in the 543-member Lok Sabha.
However, this projection falls short of the sweeping majority anticipated by exit polls conducted on June 1. The ongoing elections are a critical moment for India's political landscape, with the outcome set to influence the country's direction in the coming years.
Young global citizens and business enthusiasts are closely watching the results, given BJP's focus on economic reforms and technological advancements. The final outcome will not only shape India’s domestic policies but also its role on the global stage.
