Mauritian Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth congratulated PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday on his "laudable victory for a historic third term."

The counting of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections was held on Tuesday. According to the Election Commission of India, BJP won 240 seats, much lower than its 2019 tally of 303. The Congress, on the other hand, registered a strong growth winning 99 seats. The INDIA bloc crossed the 230 mark, posing stiff competition, and defying all predictions.
