why did the bjp win so big?s, i think for once, he has -- the prime elect has bucked the [ inaudible ] i think there are three reasons. one is his personality. the multimedia market confluence. so his personality has trumped party political concerns. and i would argue they face a real problem at this point, because [ inaudible ] hardly ever met and i think we're see similar high-handed decisions taking place. the marty system, which is unper considerable constraint with the rise of [ inaudible ] presidential style politics, so people have voted for the man modi. and the final point is this confluence has lead to unlike other [ inaudible ] in western democracies, a kind of conference for a majoritarian verdict for this party. we'll have to see the numbers coming out later the muslim vote has gotten fragmented and [ inaudible ] has got consolidated behind this party. >> really interesting to speak with you. thank you very much for that. >>> serbia and bosnia are in the middle of what is being described as the wort

is bjp not a party that gamed on hinduness? >> india is so diverse, so many languages, cultures, you really can't run on religion, and mr. modi is a very astute politician. he understands that very well. he therefore when this issue came, if it was for hindus, muslims, it's for everybody. and likewise bringing water and electricity to everybody. if i may take one more minute there is something unique for the first time in the history of india, a person who has been a chief minister of a state and has never served in the federal government is going to be the prime minister of the country. i think it's going to be an incredibly interesting and unique experiment. we'll also see to see federalism flourish under modi than it has done in the last 60 years. he has talked about giving power back to the states. so it will be an interesting experiment going forward. >> mr. ambassador, the united states has been speaking to congress members, congress party members in indian politics almost since indians we've gotten used to india being ru

the bjp is the political unit of that. narendra modi has risen through the ranks and that is his claim to being a self-made man. he started in the rss. preacher and volunteer. it is from the lower ranks he is risen up to become this face of business in india. so when mr. modi was chief and gujarat, there were tremendous rights and ghastly riots that took place -- riots and ghastly riots that took place. women were raped, babies related, people murdered. directly not link modi to this, but he was the chief mr.. he hasn't really expressed any apology. journalist asked him, he said it is the same as when a car runs over a puppy. he is keeping a distance from this. >> did it happen over days? he was the chief minister. could he have call the suppression of the massacre were of those carrying out the massacre, were they his own people? >> again, some of the people who work boasting about it, some of the murderers who boasted about it, did say they were members of the rss. it is claimed -- the recent claims are was violence on b

the bjp is a hindu nationalist party. the congress party which has been in power for a decade fought the campaign under its vice president gandhi. he's the youngest generation of the gandhi family. it has been influential on indian politics since independence but the party has failed to improve an image that has been tarnished by a series of corruption scandals. more on the election later. i'm rosalyn in new kelly. deli. >>> investors are reacting to developments in india. they went after stocks aggressively as the election outcome came in. they have high expectations that modi will promote economic reforms. now india's benchmark sensex index and the .9% higher at 24,121, surged more than 6% at one stage, rising above the 25,000 level for the first time ever. the index had already gained over 6% since the beginning of this month. investors think the bjp is key to implement a pro business policies and believe that modi will boost the economy just as he did as the chief minister of gujarat. the indian rupee got a lift, clim

i think the bjp has been considered more pro-business. if you look at the last two elections, there is not much you can use to differentiate them. in terms of foreign investment in particular, he has said that , but not inlcome it the area of multibrand retail, which is something investors have been looking to. that is something he is not becauseto press on with his base is a large number of mom-and-pop shop owners who would be very opposed to the move. will continue opening up to foreign investors, which started under the congress. >> moving on, french stocks rallied during friday's trading. shares rose almost 4.5%. they are considering a the telecombetween unit and rifle. the two are in talks. the telecom has been struggling with half it ability and cutting prices to tackle tough -- withion in profitability, and cutting prices to tackle tough competition in the market. warays the continuing price will undermine investment. >> with fewer operators, we do invest inhe means to high-speed broadband for all french people. that will cost us.

modi and bjp itself. >> it's a question that we have to ask but you're right. that's going to be swept away. this election so many people participating, what is the most shocking fact of these elections? >> just the shear scale of the majority. the scale of the defeat they handed to the congress party. the congress party is 130-year-old party, institution. it has been designated. it is now in--it has one-tenth of the parliament. s so low that it does not qualify to be an opposition party. they have been democra devastat. >> what happened here? >> basically they just did not meet the aspirations of the young of india. this is a country that is youthful. they are not going to be happy stop. they need more. they need jobs. this is an aspiration party. and the modi. his record has done very well. in terms of economic philosophy. a lot of foreign investment. he had a good platform. he ran a very good campaign. a very aggressive campaign. the congress party ten years, they look tired, jaded. they just didn't come up with great ideas. >> what will be modis on foreign

the bjp called on indians to vote for change. they have done just that. >>> so who is modi? answer to that question is as complex as it is compelling. erica wood takes a look at the man who will lead the world's largest democracy. >> reporter: he is the son of a poor tea seller, something he reminded voters of time and time again. the humble background set him apart from his main rival, a rival from a wealthy political diynast dynasty. but has history is not without controversy, he is a self confessed hindu national list and has close connections to a right-wing group that is considered to be the bjp's idealogical mentor. but it's an alignment many indians are prepared to brush aside. >> the persona of a heard has become larger than the identity of the party. and the party is being identified by that man. so it's a kind of in not india, i think largely, it's a kiekd of a modi wave. >> reporter: modi served as the chief minister of his state. he had many economic successes there, but some controversy too. at least a thousand people, mostly muslims were killed in riots in 2002

emphatically, it is coming in for the bjp led national democratic alliance. bjp is at 326 seats. the united progressive alliance, on the other hand, led by the congress is at 75, as we speak. the candidate is leading by a margin of nearly 114,000 votes.
