From the Urdu Press: ‘Stage set for an aggressive Opposition’, ‘Naidu, Nitish past masters of coalition politics’
The outcome of the 18th Lok Sabha elections has turned out to be historic. Debunking all exit polls, which collectively pointed to the BJP’s spectacular victory for the third consecutive term, the results saw the incumbent party way short of the majority mark, even as the Opposition INDIA alliance put up an impressive show against all odds. Capturing the entire spectrum of the poll results, the Urdu dailies saw in them the triumph of “a pluralistic, democratic India driven by the Constitution”. Flagging the return of the coalition era, the dailies underlined the point that the Narendra Modi-led government 3.0 will have a decisive imprint of the NDA.
