Modi is facing perhaps the most serious setback of his political career because for the first time, he entered an election and failed to secure a majority on his own, Siddharth Vardarajan, founding editor of The Wire news website has told Al Jazeera.
“I am talking about his record as chief minister and his record in national politics,” he said. Modi headed Gujarat for nearly 13 years before becoming the PM.
“The fact is that the BJP lost as many as 63 seats compared to its performance in 2019 and he is coming back in the form of a coalition with certain allies who are notoriously unstable, so I think it is a political and moral defeat for Modi.”
Vardarajan said Modi is not a politician used to “learning proper lessons” from such results, nor is the party a normal one because it is “completely beholden” to him.
“He will be looking to carry on as usual as though nothing has changed, but the fact is that the terrain has shifted in India and there is a strong and viable opposition and it has shown that it disagrees with many of his policies.”

Sir,morality and politics are 2 different ball games. Power wins in politics. In democracy the numbers win even by1.
BJP by itself won more seats than all the oppositions parties combined..With pre election coalitions partners' support, BJP has a confortable majority to rule for the next 5 years.
Dear arab leaders don't grieve
Sir,what is a political and moral defeat in an election ?
Numbers is all that matters,the rest is fooling around with frustration.
2 modi haters analyzing what modi has to do or not to do 😅😅😅😅😅
so called m community did not vote for bjp so stop complaining about the problem opposition and its chindi media eat dust
Al zajeera stop anti india and anti hindy agenda modi govt take all benefits for people and all modi haters today crying 😅😅😅😅😅
Continue ruling a very corrupt country for the 3rd term. Congratulations 👏👏👏
I am not an Indian, but i can see that he overestimated the popularity of himself and his party. He took people's vote for granted, for example, the farmers whom he neglected but yet expected their votes.
Yes modi was trying to be a dictator but Al Jazeera lol seriously? Now a Goverment owned news channel where no elections are held is telling us about democracy?
I would rather beleive aaj tak than Al Jazeera
Congress No 1 fraud party. They promised Rs 8500 per month to all the male voters and Rs 1,00,000 per year to all woman. Now the voters have lined up before the Congress party offices and they are getting kicks instead of freebies. Al Jazeera won't say all this. Fake channel giving fake news.
A country like qatar 🐕doesn't have election's to elect their leader are commenting on poliyical&moral defeat is ironic😂 & entire opposition parties gets 233 while bjp alone gets 240😂 see the difference
This jihadi channel talking about morality it is just like devil quote scriptures from Bible screw urself
People of India have given NDA a victory that feels like a defeat and they have given INDIAlliance a defeat that feels like a victory
Cry louder, jihadi al jazeera 😆😆
Aljazeera journalist crying .
U.N in complete tears
Journalism being a pillar of freedom & democracy is a lie. Everyone in news publishing & media houses is up with an agenda, biases and propoganda to sell narratives. Journalism & news thrives on people's misery. No wonder world has become a miserable place. Not to mention AJ is a mouthpiece of terrorism. I say eff you to AJ!
This is anti Bharat propaganda by a media organization that doesn’t enjoy any freedom in its own country.
Most biased news channel total losers
Good people of UP!! Lord Rama gave them some wisdom
It was defeat to BJP religious and caste politics
God Rama did not help BJP . Even in the constituency which has Ayothya Ram temple BJP party was defeated. Hence they now call god Jeganath from Oddiya to help them
