Election results 2019: 5 reasons that got Narendra Modi another term
India TodaySuspense is over and though the counting of votes by the Election Commission was still in progress at the time of writing, it is clear that Narendra Modi will take oath as the prime minister for the second time in a row. The Opposition led by Congress president Rahul Gandhi looked set to pose a tough challenge to PM Modi’s strategy in the Lok Sabha election. Backchannel diplomacy by Modi government ensured that Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan announced in the country’s parliament the decision to return IAF pilot Abhinandan as goodwill gesture. This last mile connectivity of the BJP was a big advantage for the Modi government in the Lok Sabha election. The Opposition failed to set a counter-narrative and was often seen doing politics on the agenda dictated by the BJP in the last five years and also during the campaign for the Lok Sabha election.
