After Modi led BJP stormed back in power for the second term that too with a massive majority, Mr. Narendra Modi has become the first Indian Prime Minister since 1971 to secure single party majority twice in a row. Despite spluttering economy for the last five years, Modi has expanded his majority. "This is bad news for India and the world." stated The Guardian`s Editorial of May 23

The article said the massive victory of Modi will see India`s soul "lost to dark politics".

The article said, BJP that is the political wing of Hindu ideology is on the campaign where "Muslims were denigrated as “termites” by Mr. Modi’s right-hand man." The article stated that Muslims despite being in good numbers were "political orphans". It has also expressed the fear of shrinking of representation of Muslims in parliament.

"The world does not need another national populist. Mr. Modi has threatened independent India’s most precious facet: a functioning multi-party democracy. As the authors of a new book on Mr. Modi’s politics – Majoritarian State – put it, “the BJP has made it clear that no other party should compete with it … reflect[ing] its views of competitors not as adversaries, but as enemies”. Mr. Modi recklessly chose to raise the stakes with neighboring Pakistan over Kashmir earlier this year. He took both countries close to war and pressed conflict into his service by ridiculously accusing the opposition of collusion with fundamentalist Islam."
