The Hindu · Parliament session Day 2 LIVE: Oppn. unlikely to contest Lok Sabha Speaker’s post, NDA nominee to be elected unopposedBy The Hindu Bureau
Continued thread

Most analysts expected #Modi to brush aside #India’s enervated & poorly funded opposition parties, some of which had their #bank accounts frozen & their leaders #jailed by the govt in the run-up to the #election.

Yet the mood shifted dramatically as early vote counts trickled in Tues morning & indicated that the #BJP might not single-handedly secure the 272 seats needed in the 543-member #LokSabha lower house, as it comfortably did in 2014 & 2019.
