You fought with love, truth and kindness in your heart. Those who could not see you, see you now, but some of us have always seen and known you to be the bravest of all.”

Lok Sabha Elections
Assembly Elections
The Lok Sabha election results, counted on Tuesday, revealed that the BJP secured 240 seats, a significant decrease from their 2019 tally of 303. The Congress, in contrast, made a strong comeback, winning 99 seats. The INDIA bloc surpassed the 230 mark, presenting a formidable challenge and defying predictions.
Although Prime Minister Narendra Modi has secured a third term, the BJP will require support from other parties in the coalition, primarily JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar and TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu, to form the government.
