The BBC was downplaying this big time. You would have thought Modi lost.

Maybe he can play nice as ask all Indians to return to his cesspool country. Millions in the US need to go home.

The worldwide globalist media is portraying this as a loss for Modi because he won with a narrower margin.

Ah..Reuters pushing EVM’s => meaning Trump’s loss was legitimate. In a country of ~ 1.4 billion people what exactly is ‘used extensively’ ?

They require in-person voting, regardless of weather. And as a result, their election is likely to be less susceptible to fraud and manipulation than ours. A Third World nation, with elections more credible than that of the US - that's what we've allowed the Democrats to do to us.

“The worldwide globalist media is portraying this as a loss for Modi because he won with a narrower margin.”

To win by a narrower margin may mean the popularity of the BJP is slipping and depending on how Modi and his supporters in the congress manage things till the next election, it may slip further. It may mean the BJP direct appeal to Hindus could be running out of steam in a country, with large religious and ethnic divisions, that began democratic independence voting in large majorities for governments that kept government action removed from religion.

The BJP did not get a majority on their own but with the rest of their coalition they do have a majority (just not as large as they hoped). Modi was talking about 400+ seats out of 543, ended up with less than 300 for the NDA coalition.
