Reuters, May 20, 2019:
NEW DELHI (Reuters) – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to return to power with an even bigger majority in parliament after a mammoth general election that ended on Sunday, exit polls showed, a far better showing than expected in recent weeks.

It has nothing to do with his policy

Modi faced criticism early on in the campaign for failing to create jobs and for weak farm prices, and analysts as well as politicians said the election race was tightening with the main opposition Congress party gaining ground.
But he rallied his Hindu nationalist base and turned the campaign into a fight for national security after tensions rose with Pakistan and attacked his main rival for being soft on the country’s arch foe.
Modi’s National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is projected to win anything between 339-365 seats in the 545-member lower house of parliament with the Congress party-led opposition alliance at a distant 77 to 108, India Today Axis exit poll showed.
To rule, a party needs to win 272 seats. Modi’s alliance won 336 seats in the 2014 election. The exit polls showed that he not only held to this base in the northern Hindi belt but also breached the east where regional groups traditionally held sway.
Only the south largely resisted the Hindu nationalist surge, except for Karnataka, home to software capital Bengaluru.
Counting of votes recorded in hundreds of thousands of computerised machines will begin early on Thursday and results are expected by noon.
According to another poll released by Today’s Chanakya, Modi’s alliance is likely to get around 350 seats. One poll by Neta Newsx, though, forecast Modi’s group falling 30 seats short.
Exit polls, though, have a mixed record in a country with an electorate of 900 million people – around two-thirds of whom voted in the seven-phase election. They have often gotten the number of seats wrong, but the broad direction has generally been correct, analysts say.
With three out of four of the polls indicating a clear majority for Modi’s alliance, Indian equity markets are expected to rally sharply on Monday, while the Indian rupee is also likely to strengthen versus the U.S. dollar, according to market participants.
A clear win would mean Modi can carry out reforms investors expect to make India an easier place for doing business, they said.
“I expect a positive reaction from markets on both the rupee and equities,” said Sajal Gupta, head of forex and rates at Indian brokerage firm Edelweiss Securities.

4 years agoModi once called that murderous bastard Yassir Arafat a “great leader” !! Pamela Geller, just about everything you say or do is awesome, but as far as Modi is concerned, you’re way off base. https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/102464/ramallah-indias-modi-says-arafat-one-worlds-greatest-leaders/

As you know, appeasement won’t work with them.4 years agoReply to felix1999I always getting paid proximately $7546 /on monthly basis using the web . This really is very good net income to leave my old life sucking cubical employment , And the most desirable feature regarding it’s that I now complete all my work merely a few hrs a day which retains me a far more of freedom in comparison to what I had before with my little ones. Here’s the right way to start=> https://xnode.org/~DLIn
4 years agoReply to felix1999When you think about it, he has no choice, there are nearly 180 MILLION f’ing muslums in India, who are, at best a 5th column and at worst an enemy army. I can only imagine how many f’ing muslums are in the Indian army and law enforcement. Without a civil war and the mass expulsion of muslum vermin India is D-O-N-E.
4 years agoReply to gzaetzPamela Geller is brilliant and courageous. However, she is so pro-Israel that she has blinders on her eyes concerning some things. Great lady! Pray for her understanding and perception to only increase every day.
4 years agoTo call Modi pro-Israel is a HUGE exaggeration. He laid a wreath on arch-terrorist Arafat’s grave ! Modi also maintains good relations with one of Israel’s most dangerous enemies, Iran! Modi has proven to be an unreliable partner for the US, and Israel should learn from America’s experience with him. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/241778
4 years agoReply to gzaetzSad. He seems just as bad as the rest of the muslum appeasing arseholes that have run India for the benefit of the muslum vermin.
4 years agoReply to MuhamMUDTheFakeProphetHe is fake news
Modi was the first Indian prime minister to visit Israel and trade between India and Israel grew 10 times under him.
When he visited Israel for Two days
Netanyahu accompanied him everywhere.He got same treatment like Trump and Netanyahu has called him his one of the closest friend.
4 years agoReply to gzaetzI was confused at that too. This Prime Minister is not Pro Israel. They are more concerned about their own problems. You clinched it with your specific example.
The truth is the majority of countries in the west and elsewhere are ANTI ISRAEL! The U.S. under Trump is one of the few true friends Israel has or has had prior to Obama. The EU has sided with Islam. Africa could care less about Jews or Israel. South America could care less too and on and on it goes.
4 years agowell, Pakistan hates India, and he is having a Muslim problem of his own, they want their own province or state, go figure!
4 years agoReply to Bonnie PupownerThe muslums want the entire Indian sub-continent as another muslum pig’s anus state. They’ve already sawed off the muslum rump states of Bangladesh and Pakistain, but now they want Kashmir and all of the Punjab.
4 years agoReply to MuhamMUDTheFakeProphetI don’t understand why India allowed Muslims to be in their country or why Pakistan allowed anyone but Muslims to be in their country. Muslims were why they split India up.
I see a rough future for India….this is not good….
By 2050, the Muslim population of India is projected to grow to 311 million and surpass Indonesia to become the world’s largest Muslim population, although India will retain a Hindu majority (about 77%). Being the cradle of Ahmadiyya Islam, India is one of the countries in the world with at least 2 million Ahmadi Muslims. The shrines of some of the most famous saints of Sufism, like Moinuddin Chishti and Nizamuddin Auliya, are found in India, and attract visitors from all over the world. India is also home to some of the most famous monuments of Islamic architecture, such as the Taj Mahal and the Qutb Minar. Civil matters related to the community are dealt with by the Muslim Personal Law, and constitutional amendments in 1985 established its primacy in family matters.
4 years agoReply to felix1999What a grim prediction. India is the only majority non-muslim nation to have the special “observer” status in the all muslum OIC — obviously they’re hoping genocide and ethnic cleansing of Hindus will make India into another muslum pig’s anus state.
4 years agoReply to MuhamMUDTheFakeProphetThank nutcase muslim loving gandhi for allowing muslims to stay. Ambedkar (architect of indian constitution) had studied islam and wanted all muslims to go but was over ruled by Gandhi !
And even after partition he continued support and forced funding for pukistan . This after they committed horrendous butchery , rape , murder of innocent hindus during partition .
And that is real reason why Godse assasinated Gandhi for his anti-hindu , pro-muslim asshatery.
Most ppl are taught Godse was hindu “terrorist” !4 years agoReply to SureshI have no sympathy for Gandhi — he got what he deserved. In the end he was nothing but a muslum collaborator.
4 years agoReply to MuhamMUDTheFakeProphetI don’t have a high opinion of Ghandi either.
It is believed he was a pedophile – preferred boys.4 years agoI would doubt that a win here had anything to do with Israel or Jews.
I would bet the typical native Indian is more concerned about job$ and Muslims living in their country. Voters there could care less about Israel or Jews. India is a far cry from being a western Judeo Christian country. Hinduism reigns in India.
According to the 2011 census,
79.8% of the population of India practices Hinduism,
14.2% adheres to Islam,
2.3% adheres to Christianity, and
1.7% adheres to Sikhism.4 years agoReply to felix1999But it is true that many Indians are very pro-Israel and anti-Islam!
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/india-s-internet-hindus-are-in-love-with-israel-1.57307304 years agoCongratulations to Narendra Modi.
4 years agoi like it!! :))
4 years agoCreepy MEAN guy.
4 years agoModi may be pro-Israel, but he and his Hindu extremist party encourage severe persecution of Christians, and that would not bother Israel one bit.
4 years agoReply to movingwatersThere are not many Christians to persecute in India, they’re basically irrelevant.
4 years agoReply to MuhamMUDTheFakeProphetChristianity and its true followers will never be irrelevant. They are the ones with eternal life in God’s Kingdom. FYI, the body of Christ in India is relatively small and suffers severely, but it is growing everyday. Christianity always grows under persecution.
4 years agoHopefully, Modi has seen the light and will export his Muslim problem to Pakistan And Bangladesh. Hindus have suffered under Muslim oppression for centuries with an estimated 200 to 300 million killed by the savages who would do it again if given the opportunity.
