(Having enjoyed an overwhelming majority for a decade, negotiating a coalition is new and many believe tricky territory. “For the first time in his political career, Narendra Modi will have to play the coalition game,” said Prof Christophe Jaffrelot of King’s College London.)
"...Narendra Modi has a vision and a zeal, his execution is very perfect. He is executing all his policies with a true spirit...Today, India is having the right leader - that is Narendra Modi. This is a very good opportunity for India, if you miss now, we will miss forever..." . -- N Chandrababu Naidu
Narendra Modi quotes in NDA meet:
One thing common about NDA partners is Good Governance and service for people: Modi
Out of Ten tribal states, in seven states we have NDA government
"This is an alliance that is committed to 'Nation First' with the basic spirit of 'Nation First' and not a gathering of some parties for power." "We are committed to the principle of 'sarva panth sambhava' (all religions are equal)."
"The Opposition tried to paint 2024 Lok Sabha results as loss for us but people of our country know we never lost."
"I strongly feel people of the INDIA bloc belong to the previous century when they question tech advancements like EVMs and Aadhaar."
Congress total in last 3 Lok Sabha -- 44, 52 and 99 = 195.... less than what we won in 2024-- 240 :::: - #Modi
"I have been missing Parliamentary debates and I hope Opposition MPs will also contribute to nation-building when they come to Parliament."
"We will write a new chapter of development and good governance and together will make the dream of a developed India come true."
* As usual, prejudiced 'firangi' view:
"The reproof from voters might encourage the BJP to steer the economy towards a somewhat fairer and more sustainable course, for its own sake.
What it indisputably offers is an opportunity to halt the democratic erosion.
It is possible that Mr Modi will now seek to intensify his authoritarianism; an election under fairer conditions would surely have proved still more damning.
But without a supermajority he cannot push through constitutional changes, as many feared he might. With his air of invincibility punctured, politicians, business people, officials and broadcasters may be somewhat less eager to dance to his tune." - The Guardian, London
(even this election ... 2024 ... was 'not fair' enough according to The Guardian .... THEIR AGENDA IS clear !! )
"I warmly congratulate Shri @narendramodi
ji on being unanimously elected as the leader of the NDA. The people of India have given their mandate to the NDA Govt. I assure you of the State's full cooperation & support in nation-building & further improving the welfare of citizens." -- Nagaland CM Neiphiu Rio
Pratap Bhanu Mehta column in
Indian Express:
"At stake was the continuing possibility of politics itself. At the very least, the result pricks the bubble of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s authority. He made this election about himself: His performance, his omnipotence and omniscience, and his ideological obsessions.
Modi is, for the moment, not the indomitable vehicle for History, or the deified personification of the people. Today, he is just another politician, cut to size by the people.
The election portends a radical realignment of Indian politics on several dimensions. In the first instance, it restores a finer balance of power between different political parties. In the absence of this result, India would have been headed towards unchecked domination of the BJP. "
