    How I see it (and so do many others) is that this showed BJP that they won’t get away with anything and everything. That their religious politics is getting old. People want jobs, and growth.

    Many thought that defeating BJP is simply impossible. If you followed the Indian media, you’ll know that Modi was portrayed as this irreplaceable leader. Many voted for BJP simply because they thought that they had no other option. This election showed them that it’s not true, that BJP can be defeated. If not anything else, we have a much stronger opposition now. BJP will have to think twice before making stupid decisions.

      This. The opposition alliance is a mix of left, right, up and down, who historically and even now have knife at each other. Them coming to power is the worst that could happen to India now, and pretty sure they won’t last even a year at power. It’s the best outcome now, BJP isn’t invincible, religious politics proven not effective. India still a strong democracy. Now BJP can continue their good work, especially at international politics and strong opposition can keep them in check for the policies inside India, which have much room for improvement.
