    It’s unlikely in the next 5 years anyway. The “emissary of God” won the elections, but lost the absolute majority. He is now the leader of a coalition government, with a stronger opposition to match.

      For now. We’ll see how strong India’s democratic institutions are I guess. Because ultimately Modi is still very popular and if no one else is willing to fight him and his followers then it doesn’t make any difference in what you’re voting for. Authoritarians will just do what they want if they feel they can get away with it.
