Narendra Modi News

India TV, News 24-Today's Chanakya and India Today — on Saturday predicted a 400-plus seat win for the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance in the Lok Sabha elections.

Congress on Saturday claimed that the exit polls had been «orchestrated» by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said these are all psychological games he is masterminding but the actual results will be very different. Several exit polls on Saturday predicted that Prime Minister Modi will retain power for a third straight term, with the BJP-led NDA expected to win a big majority in the Lok Sabha polls.

exit polls on Saturday were giving minimum one and maximum three seats to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Kerala and minimum one and maximum four seats in Tamil Nadu. While the BJP has never won any Lok Sabha seat in Kerala, it had been struggling as a junior partner to the AIADMK in Tamil Nadu. Its best performance in Tamil Nadu was four seats in 1999. Exit polls not only indicate that the BJP is going to register a presence in both these states, but also predict a much higher vote share.

exit polls are flashing a clear advantage to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led NDA faction, top voices on Dalal Street see a continuation of reform policies in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third term. They expect the government's focus on infrastructure, defence, railways and other sectors to continue. According to the poll-of-polls, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is projected to secure over 350 seats out of the 542 contested, spanning seven phases over 48 days.

BENGALURU, India—India is set to be the world’s fastest-growing major economy this year, but economists say the country’s headline growth numbers don’t tell the whole story. The South Asian nation’s gross domestic product grew at more than 8% this fiscal year compared with the previous year, driven by public spending on infrastructure, services growth, and an uptick in manufacturing. That would put India well ahead of China, which is growing at about 5%, and on track to hit Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047.

India's economy grew at a faster-than-expected pace of 7.8% year-on-year in the first three months of 2024, helped by a strong performance in the manufacturing sector, and economists expect the momentum to continue this year. The highest growth pace among the largest economies globally will bolster the economic record of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is hoping to win a rare third term in the national election, with results set to be released on June 4. Investors are looking ahead to the election outcome and the full-year budget in mid-July to see what steps the new government might take to boost the economy.

India exists at all. By some miracle of human ingenuity and industry, a land area barely bigger than Argentina with less water than Colombia is able to support nearly a fifth of the world’s population. The record-breaking temperatures above 52 degrees Celsius (125.6 degrees Fahrenheit) in the capital New Delhi this week are a warning sign, however. The magic spell that has sustained this achievement is coming close to breaking. That’s an issue not just for those sweltering on the streets of the world’s second-biggest city, but for the path to wealth that 1.4 billion people hope to follow. India has a far poorer natural endowment of land than Europe, North America and China, the continental economies that preceded it on the road to riches. Even the fragile benefits that its citizens have managed to eke out of this unpromising soil might now be slipping further away, as climate change exposes its deep fragility and washes away the foundations of growth.
