The head of the Indian government, Narendra Modi, and his Hindu nationalist party have been reappointed for a new five-year term. A very mixed victory, without an absolute majority.
The BJP is reappointed as head of the Indian government for another five years. The day after the announcement of the victory of Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist party, his supporters rejoiced. But after ten years in power, the Indian Prime Minister’s party has failed to obtain an absolute majority. “We are not satisfied with the result of the elections, but the decision of the people is sovereign (…). Modi and his coalition will have to reflect on their mistakes”estimates a local resident.
The main criticism made of the head of government: his discriminatory policy towards the country’s Muslim minority, which numbers 200 million individuals. In neighboring Pakistan, in the contested province of Kashmir, a demonstration was organized on Tuesday June 4 to challenge the nationalist desires of Narendra Modi. “BJP’s victory in Indian elections is a threat to peace”Judge Shoukat Javed Mir, politician in Pakistan.
