Throwback to 1984 Lok Sabha elections: When Rajiv Gandhi-led Congress crossed '400 paar'
Monday, 3 June 2024 Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who led a high-charge election campaign, is likely to get a historic third term, equalling the record of the country's first prime minister Jawahar Lal Nehru. But this is not the only record the BJP hopes to achieve. As results start to come in from 8am on June 4, all eyes will be on the final seat tally of the NDA to see if it actually manages to get '400 paar' (over 400 seats). The only time any party achieved this target was in the 1984 General Elections when the Rajiv Gandhi-led Congress won 414 seats (of the 541 that voted).
The counting of votes for Lok Sabha Elections 2024 began today at 8 am. All eyes are on whether the exit poll predictions will hold ground and Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) comes back to power with a historic third straight term. A party or a coalition needs to...

Former President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Thomas Crooks fired five shots from an AR-15 rifle from a 120-yard distance. The incident highlighted critical security lapses compared to the SPG protocols for India's PM Modi, which include limited exposure and thorough sweeps. Footage revealed disorganised Secret Service personnel, insufficient Bullet-resistant shields, and Sniper protection. This event recalls the assassination of Japan's former PM Shinzo Abe and underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive review of security measures for political candidates.

Narendra Modi , Earns Narrow Election Win For, Historic Third Term.
Reuters reports that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set
to win a historic third term on June 4, but with vastly
diminished majority following a rare electoral setback. .
For the first time in a decade,
Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata
Party lost its majority in parliament. .
The party is now dependent on regional allies
to secure the half-way mark required to stay
on top of the world's largest democracy.
For the BJP to drop below
the majority mark, this is
a personal setback for him, Yogendra Yadav, Psephologist and the founder of a
small political group opposed to the BJP, via Reuters.
Since taking power a decade ago, Modi has been ruling as the
alliance's unquestioned leader, however, his opponents have seen
his reign as the country sliding towards authoritarianism. .
My sole issue with Modi
today is that he has become
larger than the party itself.
In a democratic system...
a party should always
supersede an individual, Surendra Kumar Dwivedi, Former head of the Department of Political Science at Lucknow University, via Reuters.
The election win makes Modi only
the second Indian leader to win a third term
after founding Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
The election win makes Modi only
the second Indian leader to win a third term
after founding Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
Prior to the election win, Modi promised
a transformative next five years in office.
Reuters reports that Modi's presidency has seen India
become the world's fastest growing major economy, and
he has expressed aspirations of improving on those gains.
What we have done in
the last 10 years is only
a preview, a trailer.
We have a lot more to do.
Modi is taking the country
to a different level in the world, Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, via Reuters
