The general elections in India are winding towards the end, and surprising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s target of more than 400 seats for his coalition appears to be a harder goal to achieve than expected. We speak to Dr Rahul Mishra, Associate Professor with the Jawaharlal Nehru University on why the outcome of a wipeout of the opposition is less certain and what this means for geopolitics in the region.
