We would like to hear from British Indians across the UK about their reaction to the election result in India declared on Tuesday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) retained power in the national elections by winning the most seats, but not enough to pass the 272 parliamentary majority mark. Modi was forced to rely on coalition partners to return to power.

The opposition alliance, which goes by the acronym INDIA, collectively won more than 230 of the total 543 seats.

We would like to hear from Indians living in the UK about their thoughts on the results, what this could mean for India and how the results have impacted them.
