India election: Is the ‘Modi brand’ dented after BJP loses outright majority?

Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) can now only maintain its majority government with the help of a coalition of other parties. Researchers suggest that the election results indicate “A dent in the Modi brand” and raise concerns about the party’s succession plans. The unexpected electoral setback has sparked speculation about the BJP’s future and how Modi and his party will navigate the challenges of governing the world’s largest democracy in the coming years.
