<h5>Government formation!</h5>On 4th June 2024, people across India were glued to their TV and mobile screens, tracking the results of the Lok Sabha election.Now that the counting is over, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has emerged as the single largest party with 240 seats, followed by the Indian National Congress (INC) with 99 seats.Both these parties lead their respective alliances as well; the BJP leads the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), and Congress leads the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/indian-opposition-parties-have-formed-an-alliance">Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance</a> or I.N.D.I.A.<figure class="image"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/newsahoot.appspot.com/Vote_92a9f169fb.jpg" alt="Vote.jpg"><figcaption>People standing in line to vote.

You see, the thing is that Lok Sabha has 543 seats for Members of Parliament (MPs). To declare a person as a Prime Minister, a party of alliance must have the support of at least 272 MPs.In the last election, the BJP alone had over 300 seats so it was obvious that Narendra Modi would become the Prime Minister. This time, the BJP only has 240 seats, so they will have to collaborate with other parties (including those in the NDA) to cross the 272 mark.Each of these parties will have their own demands to support the BJP so it can form the government. If any party is unhappy, they may choose to join the INC or its alliance where their demands are being met.In that case, the I.N.D.I.A may form the government, and we may see Rahul Gandhi, or any other leader from the alliance, as the Prime Minister!Indian politics is no less than a thriller film. There are twists and turns at every corner that can make everyone‘s head spin.Update: The parties in the NDA have elected Narendra Modi as their leader, and it seems like he will again take up the role of the Prime Minister of India.<figure class="image"><img alt="PM.jpg" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/newsahoot.appspot.com/PM_66427ceb56.jpg"><figcaption>Narendra Modi after he became the PM for the third time.

Is it going to be Narendra Modi or Rahul Gandhi? Or is there a twist waiting for us?
