India's state elections highlight BJP's rise and raise questions about democracy
Big news from India's state elections: PM Modi's BJP won West Bengal for the first time, a major victory. The results show the BJP's growing power, now ruling states with nearly 80% of India's population. However, there are serious concerns about election fairness, with millions, disproportionately Muslims, reportedly denied voting rights in Bengal. The BJP's campaign focused on anti-Muslim rhetoric, raising fears of policies targeting minorities, similar to what's happened in Assam. While the BJP celebrates, many are asking if India's democracy is becoming more authoritarian.
