The results of ongoing general elections in India will be announced on May 23. Prime Minister Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is hoping for a repeat of the 2014 contest when it decimated Rahul Gandhi's left-leaning Congress party to win an outright majority. It is quite likely that the BJP, the right wing party, which has been banking on Modi's sharp tongue, will fail to win a majority in the Lok Sabha elections. This would possibly mean a hung parliament. Modi's reelection prospects are not really bright mainly on account of bad economy and growing social and religious tensions in a country of 1.25 billion people. BJP's opposition parties, particularly regional parties, seem to have really worked harder to galvanize support against the right wing and ultra wing forces in the country. It was only during these elections that Bengal chief minister, Mamta Banerjee, a vocal opponent of Modi, has described him as "more than fascist leader". The 'Maha Ghatbandan' or grand opposition alliance has accepted Modi's challenge in an impressive manner.
