Vote Counting in India Starts as Modi Eyes Victory for Third Time

NEW DELHI, INDIA - NOVEMBER 8: Congress workers celebrate after Mahagathbandhan's (Grand Alliance) victory in Bihar assembly elections at AICC, on November 8, 2015 in New Delhi, India. Nitish Kumar said, "I express my gratitude towards people of Bihar, will try our best to match up with their expectations. We respect our opposition in Bihar; want to work in consensus with everyone to develop Bihar. This victory is big win and we will work towards the grand alliances mandate for the development of Bihar." Lalu Yadav said, "BJP had its eyes on Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal. It wanted to move eastwards. Bihar stopped them in tracks. PM Narendra Modi is nothing but an RSS pracharak." The grand alliances victory is also attributed to the rejection of communal politics, driven mostly by the recent debate over cow slaughter and consumption of beef. Data from the election commission’s website for 240 of the state’s 243 seats showed the RJD-JD(U)-Congress alliance led in 178 seats, an emphatic victory over the NDA that could only win around 59 seats.

Election counting has started in India, and the announcement of the result is near since, like others, this time again, it is most probable that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be the next Prime Minister of India for the third time.

Six hundred forty-two million people voted for Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a result of a six-week election poll in seven stages that led to Narendra Modi’s powerful victory for the third time.  

Modi claimed the previous weekend, and he was sure that “ the Indian people will elect him again this time too”, just like they elected the first time. 

Republication thinks his captivation to develop Hindu Nationalist Sentiment will lead him toward a big victory for the third time.

Rivals of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) tried to create a mess with Modi’s campaigns. They deal with many internal hurdles and obstacles and ensure legally that all the accusations against them challenge their aim.

This year, the US think tank Freedom House claimed that the BJP employed many government sectors to compete with rival political parties.

According to Kejriwal, attending jail becomes our duty when governance becomes despotism. He even fights for his election behind bars.

From the estimated result of the Election, about 200 million- Muslim minorities are feeling uncomfortable with their future careers and their living community area in an ordinarily temporal state.

Even though Modi made some harsh comments about Muslim minorities during his campaign process, calling them “infiltrators”.

Vote Count Procedure

Results are expected to be announced soon, as casting votes were done through Electronic Voting Machines. 

The counting procedure will start at 8:00am in major government sectors of each area, and data will be stored in computers. 

On Monday, Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar claimed that the “Public should consider the power of Indian Democracy”. He further promised an honest and concentrated counting procedure. 

If the result announcement of victory belongs to Modi’s BJP, there will be celebrations at his headquarters. 

The winning criterion is to win 272 seats as the majority. In 2019, BJP won by 303 seats. So, his victory is clear.
