India's Modi claims victory as he heads for reduced majority

Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is poised to win a third term in power, but with a decline from their previous victories. According to initial results, the BJP and its allies have won around 290 seats, enough to form a majority government, although this represents a loss of almost 70 constituencies compared to their 2019 victory. Modi's party will need to rely on its allies to secure a majority.
