India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi (C) flashes victory sign as he arrives at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters to celebrate the party's win in country's general election, in New Delhi on June 4, 2024.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared victory in the country's election late on Tuesday, despite his party looking set to lose its outright majority, leaving him reliant on smaller regional parties.
The wider BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) looks set to win a combined 294 parliamentary seats, according to local media.
"People have placed their faith in NDA, for a third consecutive time!
This is a historical feat in India's history," Modi said on X as counting was nearing a conclusion.
