begins what can time but in 2 countries to change attitudes in a country where there is a beauty community is still fighting for basic rights. and they're convenient cheap and always open but how much longer can japan's 247 convenience stores function with a shortage of staff to run the. i'm british bandaging welcome to dr news asia it's good to have you with us. narendra modi begins his 2nd term as india's prime minister today the veteran politician or i'm told with an impressive victory in the general elections last week his in the nationalist b.g.p. secured an even bigger majority that in the last election in 2014 winning seats in states historically dominated by other parties the b.g.p.

did so on the strength of a cocktail officials national security development and hindu nationalism a mix the opposition finds frightening but one that proved potent for millions or more. neurons or modi in victory nor his majority increased his power fortified after a better and acrimonious campaign she spoke of unity. what happened in these elections and how it happened who said what's all that is in the past for me. we have to look ahead we have to take everyone together and war. was. to. get me son like hot air to his critics for his diehard supporters it's party time the magic of movie has been to turn india's patchwork political map into a one man whenever takes it all contest but now comes the moment of truth some here

the 5 the last 5 years of more the government short that they can do the international spritely in india is quite imaginative more than i did it because we all thought and for the lynchings the culprit that should movement a dissident it nobody really prepared for that the seriousness of that so the next 5 years through a lot of unexpected things like you can happen that said. what is expected is an assault on us no loss that is that religion based what's been lost but i believe to be to peace longstanding problems of implementing a uniform civil court a common law for all citizens the good making moves closer to that otherwise. vs going to see an assault on again on the 70 special category status of the states . state of kashmir. so these are not some of the things that i expected but again like i said it's left to the imagination they can do rightly now in terms of the

results that the b.g.p. achieved over was an overwhelming majority the opposition took a massive battering does india have a credible opposition at the moment. so the congress. in right now is quite in a bad state its president wants to quit its senior leadership is not allowing him to quit busted in once to bring in a non-family member lead the party by his his leaders his closest the does want him to continue one his family to be in control of the congress so a lot of the people of this country who are not big fans of that into how they develop our marketing that the promising pick of the budget but you distribution soccer in the congress can argue that. the regional players look hoping to do that the i found themselves fighting for survival in the next 5 years some of them really will struggle to hold on to their state governments but if you please share

which was used a lot last i do is that the b.g.p. has significantly increased which i do is talk talk it could increase what share of the country to 37 per cent of the country work for them to be the which means that $6060.00 plus of the electorate has still thought what if some sort of $50.00 to $50.00 seat i would are the majority in absolute terms so there is potential for this electorate 60 percent of the electorate can see that it's still not bored bought into them or the negative impact or be the opposition's hoping that they will could be the opposition insects and then you can just in terms of people sebastian joining us from delhi thank you very much for that thank you. to thailand next been negotiations continue over who will form the next government this after the disputed election in march gave no side a majority even so bollman has begun its walk and among the new m.p.'s officially sworn in this time around is the country's 1st transgender m.p.
