India Now Faces Political Uncertainty
印度现在面临政治不确定性
Narendra Modi has served as Prime Minister of India since May 2014. In the previous 2019 elections, his party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), secured 37.36% of the votes, which, along with its coalition, achieved a large majority in Parliament.
纳伦德拉·莫迪自2014年5月担任印度总理。在上次2019年的选举中，他所在的印度人民党 (BJP) 获得了37.36% 的选票，与其联盟一起在议会中取得了大多数席位。
So far, the BJP coalition has obtained 239 out of 543 seats in the Lok Sabha, India's Lower House, losing 18 seats compared to the 2019 elections and falling short of the required majority of 272.
到目前为止，印度人民党联盟在洛克·萨巴 (Lok Sabha)，也就是印度下议院中获得了239个议席，比2019年选举少了18个席位，未能达到所需的272个多数席位。

此外，这个结果对莫迪来说是一个重大挫折，他的目标是在竞选中获得400个议席。
