India's general election results show a surprising dip in support for Narendra Modi's BJP, with some attributing the decline to a rift between the BJP and its parent organization, the RSS.
Narendra Modi begins his third term as India's Prime Minister, marking a significant milestone. He has retained key figures from the previous government and included members from various parties in his new cabinet.
