Narendra Modi has been voted in as India’s Prime Minister for a third straight term following a marathon 6-week election, the largest such democratic exercise around the world.

But his BJP party has lost its outright parliamentary majority for the first time in 10 years, meaning Modi has to form a coalition government.

How will a reduced majority affect Modi’s influence and approach to governing India over the next 5 years?

And does the result change in any way India’s relationship with the wider world?

On this episode of Morning Shot, Rahul Verma, Fellow, Centre for Policy Research, shares his insights.
