Four national surveys released as the last polling stations shut suggested Mr Modi’s right-wing, BJP-led coalition – the National Democratic Alliance – had secured victory albeit with a reduced majority, from its 341 seats to between 280 and 315. Outside a polling station at a village primary school in the farming district of Fatuha, 23-year-old Mantu Kumar told The Independent he voted BJP in the last election, but that he voted Congress this time round as Mr Modi’s pledge to create 20 million jobs had not materialised. A 30-year-old business graduate who is nonetheless without a job, Ms Hasan took issue with Mr Modi’s claim that educated young people who cannot find employment should “go sell pakodas ”.
