India's recent election results have been surprising, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) winning 240 seats, falling short of a majority. The BJP faced a significant setback in Uttar Pradesh, a stronghold for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Despite the campaign slogan '400 paar,' the party ended up with 63 seats fewer than their previous tally. Senior journalist Rajagopalan noted that without the '400 paar' claim, the BJP might not have won even 270 seats. These results constitute a big setback for the BJP and Mr Modi, who aimed to cross 400 seats.
