Narendra Modi re-elected as Prime Minister for a third term
Hindu supremacist Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been elected to be sworn in for a third term after an unexpectedly close election that forced his party into a coalition government.
The elections have been criticized for not being free and fair by activists. In addition to controlling the mainstream media, the Modi regime abused government agencies to jail opposition leaders, freeze the Congress Party’s bank accounts, and engaged in voter suppression of Muslims. Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidates also regularly made anti Muslim hate speeches in clear violation of Indian law, which prohibits communal speeches as a means to win votes.
The BJP is now down to 240 seats in parliament, well below the 303 it won five years ago and 32 short of a majority on its own.
