@bloombergpolitics: “The NDA is set to form a government for the third consecutive term,” Narendra #Modi claims victory for the #BJP alliance despite setback. The leader vowed to continue as #India’s prime minister even after his party lost its majority in parliament, forcing him to rely on allies to form a #government for the first time since he stormed to power a decade ago. Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party was leading in 240 seats, short of the 272 needed for a majority, while his National Democratic Alliance had 293 seats — enough to form a government if it sticks together. #worldnews #politics #geopolitics
