modi. a lot of peek take issue with this word for sess. the idea is that because people valued hisship, anthony they were economies in the they shoe him as the best person -- the best person suited to deal with those or address those economic woes. so a friend and fellow political scientist in london had a very nice tweet yesterday, when he said particularly we say what are the issues, national security, unemployment, inflation. okay how does that map on to people's partisan preferences. in this case, you know, i would say maybe the opposite happened. people identified they really wanted modi and then found empirical ways of supporting or making the case for who think they wanted to vote for or why they wanted to vote for him. this issue i think is going to be unresolved of what impact indo pack tensions had on the vote. it likely provided that bjp was a bump. some of the survey evidence we have suggests that people who are aware and who follow the news about the terror attacks in india and

modi was very, very strong. modi took them on. they caved in.he indian chamber of commerce sent him a letter of apology saying, we are sorry that we hurt your fefeelings. this is a man who cares deeply about his feelings. clearly. so any corporations -- corporations are being enriched at enormous rates. india is a basket case economically, but there is massive wealth extraction going on in terms of natural resources. companies like reliance, another company that is very, very close to modi. there is incredible crony capitalism that is present in india. there is a kind of enrichment happening at the same time as the impoverishment of the masses. the corporations pretty much -- i worked in india as a journalist from the mid-1990's. mainstream media in india, television is completely -- i think arundhati roy call them fox news on acid, which is what indian television is. it is not watchable because it is an undimmmmed it wave of -- unending wave of violence against dalits, muslims, leftists, feminist. it is this incredible -- it is a 24 hour rage.

they said we don't need an excuse to vote for prime minister modi. even though there are economic woes they view him as the best person to address those woes. so there is a tweet yesterday to say typically we say what are the issues with unemployment inflation and then mapping onto those preferences than the opposite happened they really wanted prime minister modi and found empirical ways to support the case. this issue will be unresolved and to say with some confidence it likely provided the bjp with a bump. and with those subsequent response. to value the economy like national security and leadership like a decisive leader like prime minister modi. to be suggested the mda was tipped the rough majority it could be what happened what magnified the lead. so i will just end here so i don't take too much time with those other big winners. the first i would point to is the why and if our congress party that isn't has also swept those assembly elections this is interesting because the sun of the former chief minister was booted out of the congressional pa

the helm again after scoring a commanding victory in nationwide elections the official count gives modi and his hindu nationalist party a majority in the lok sabha and the power to form a government without a coalition it's a humiliating defeat for opposition parties but modi found a clear path to victory as india's hindu nationalist hero. wrote the law and returns narendra modi's celebrated his hour of triumph in new delhi before delirious supporters called. naming victory he urged them to put the bitter and divisive campaign behind them. i mean we have to look ahead we have to take everyone together even people who oppose us will take them with us we have to work for the benefit of this country. we're going to. indian papers were bursting with super lives over murders landslide win some calling it i'm now moment others saying he's hindu nationalist wave had become a tsunami. it was a crushing blow to india's most powerful political dynasty role gandy head of the opposition congress party lost the seat of i'm 80 which he's famous family had held for 4 decades. i want to see that. is no

thank you india, said narendra modi last week. he'd just won an increased parliamentary majority in the world's largest democracy. so how did he manage this miracle and what will he do with his mandate? you havejust come back from india, tell us how he managed it. it is a remarkable result because conventional wisdom had it that has party would emerge as the largest single party but not with a majority on its own but it is not only won a majority for the second time but actually increased its majority. what is quite intriguing is the fact that five years of modi we are at best a mixed result and more failures than successes. on the economy today unemployment in india agrarian distress is unprecedented. the insecurity of people is very worrying. relations with pakistan are difficult. tension with china, the special relationship with nepal has been blown to smithereens. there is tension because of modi hugging donald trump because russia and china do not like it. everything put together it has not been exactly his finest hour. and i

but in his victory speech modi struck a modest tone. you know i've always said that this election is not fought by the majority it's not fought by the hopefuls. it's not fought by politicians this election is being fought by the people of this country the. voting in the world's largest democracy took place over 6 weeks as incoming election results showed that the incumbent prime minister would remain in office people gather to cheer their own world and new leader. modi's victory crushed hopes of a political comeback by the gandhi dynasty rahul gandhi head of the congress party and modis election rival conceded defeat early on thursday. i have clearly said during the campaign that the people of india are the mandate and they have given an order so 1st of all i would like to congratulate near and remoting. congratulation also came in from another rival pakistan's prime minister imran khan tweeted that he looked forward to working with modi for peace in south asia the 2 countries came close to war when pakistan based militants staged a ter
