the i've been visible and welcome, indian prime minister and arrange a body has claimed victory in the countries general election body has hailed his power when, as an historic feats in india's history, he would become a v, the 2nd indian leader to win a 3rd consecutive time, well then 640000000 people both at the and 7 phases over the course of 6 weeks, making it the largest selection in the world. a. and is both coming continues. let's take a look at some of the numbers. the national democratic alliance, the in the leg by prime minister and arrange for bodies national as b. j. p is a head on track to win some 292 of the 543 seats available. the opposition india alliance, which includes the once dominic congress body soaks to have one around $234.00

states movie is on cost to retain power for a 3rd time. but without a super majority. a deli bureau chief is sandra paid his mind. sandra, what more can you tell us about the current trends? why then obviously prime minister, nobody is looking very confident to secure this search term with the numbers. but you can only do so with the partners office national democratic alliance because the beach repeat alone individually as a party test lost a considerable number of seats. if we look back at the last general election in 2019 the beach, if he had a very comfortable from paying majority of 303 seats and only 270 to needed to form the government. and as of now, they can only get there with their partners because the beach repeat and do really low. and this time around put only 6, you around 240 seats,

so they have lost out quite considerably. so how is payment? is the money commenting on the card numbers? caesar? well, he obviously went on ex 1st, formerly known as twitter. he sent the people of india for, for us taking him for giving him this cert consecutive term, which is a very rare thing in india. he's sonia the 2nd prime minister to do so. there is no mentioning of the seats lost in his tweets that he put out. he just arrived at the beach i p. headquarters with arms raised up in victory pose. he was showered with confetti and with flower petals. by party workers, and the 1st one of the 1st to speak was not him, but the beach at the pots of president. and if i'm a quote here, they beach a piece party president, not upset. i think all the n d a l i s and p j. p workers who have been working so hard to give hospice. and she also said that the voters have given prime minister

mode a historic moment and the blessings. so now we're waiting to hear from the prime minister himself, but as we go life with his show and it might still take why it's been a tow, the prime minister reaches the states himself. well, in the meantime, what's the opposition saying some of the are quite the opposite. if i may quote, senior congress need our ra, who we've got to be here. he basically said that the vote test says, taking the 1st and the biggest step to safe the constitution. of this country, he said that both of us have punished prime minister moody if i can quote him here . he said they have rejected tim. this is wrong. we've got a new set as a win for democracy and t cord at amara and political. the last for the prime minister, this is of course, coming from the main or position congress party. and they have been campaigning on the premise that it is then and that india alliance to secure india constitution and india sector that democracy because they alleged that they

b j. p is leading india into a one party state kind of mode with a very or sorry, terry and style of ruling election that they've beach a p with a something majority which has changed that constitution. a cable talking about style as prime minister mostly does get a 3rd time what, what sort of changes could we expect in his political style? well i think he was still in maintaining this kind of moody magic moment because within the beach repeat everything, everything was tempted around him. he is the strong leader. he still has a lot of sympathy amongst the population as well. but they b j, p as a potty, i'm him as a prime minister. they will now depend on their partners and the national democratic alliance. and with those small talk he's in the role of king make. i think he and his party with the, with have to learn to compromise and to see compromise and their policy making.

this very aggressive style of ruling that he had almost being able to go it alone at all times. it looks to be the case that this is over for the moment. so i'm happy to find that out. bureau chief in delhi with the analysis on those elections . this is where the military has concerned the dance of for more hostages kid that's joining the homicide. october 7th, tamara tax it says 85 year old. i'm around cooper high, perry, and your on netscape. both daisy and 51 year old is the way the british citizen, not the pump of well dined together months ago when on units. i'm us as not yet released and bodies. as well as by me to step in human at yahoo, as again said he will not accept the ceasefire. and gods are until all of these rails conditions a man. the military has carried out more air attacks in the south. the territory is knows that up in the finding relentless strikes on rough ha,
