Narendra Modi Proclaims Victory in India’s General Election as Opposition Alliance Makes Massive Gains


Incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party-led alliance has won India's general election with a reduced majority.

In the end it was not quite the landslide mandate incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP) had anticipated. Far from the pre- election sloganeering that predicted 400 seats out of 543 in India ‘s lower house of parliament, the Lok Sabha, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) managed 294, more than the 272 required to form the next government. From a global entertainment industry perspective, the BJP government’s biggest achievement was implementing a 30% reimbursement scheme for international productions shooting in India in 2022.
