Aura of 'invincibility' around PM Modi 'shattered'; opposition energised: World media on Indian election
Wednesday, 5 June 2024 The aura of invincibility around Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been shattered by Indian voters in the general elections. BJP won 240 seats, Congress 99, with BJP-led NDA crossing the majority mark. International media described the results as unexpected and a rare setback for Hindu nationalists.
Indian shares set records, the rupee gained and bonds yields dropped in Monday (June 3) opening trade as exit polls pointed to a third term and sizeable mandate for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with investors eyeing public spending to maintain economic momentum. Gabe Singer reports.
The world is in mourning after the Vatican announced the passing of Pope Francis. Tributes are flooding in from global leaders—President Macron, PM Modi, PM Meloni, President Herzog, and many others—remembering the Pope as a voice for the vulnerable and a shepherd of peace. From the White House to St. Peter’s Square, the bells toll for a man whose legacy transcended borders, politics, and faith. As Rome weeps, the world unites to honor a Pontiff who lived humbly, preached mercy, and stood by the forgotten.

Oneindia's exclusive ground report captures the harsh reality of the Murshidabad Waqf Violence in West Bengal. As communal tensions rise and over 400 Hindu families are reportedly forced to flee, we ask the hard-hitting questions: Is Mamata Banerjee losing control? Why is there no police accountability?
