Modi's Party Faces Tight Race in India's 2024 Election

TL;DR
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's coalition is leading in India's general election but faces a stronger-than-expected challenge from the opposition, suggesting his BJP may not secure a majority on its own. This could force Modi to rely on coalition partners, a significant shift from his previous terms. The election has highlighted economic discontent and deep political divisions, with Modi's Hindu nationalist politics and mixed economic record under scrutiny.
