World leaders congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi after his BJP-led alliance secured a majority in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, setting the stage for a third five-year term in office.

The US said on Tuesday it expects continued close ties, along with discussions on human rights concerns, with India after elections in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi looked set to retain power but with a surprisingly slim majority.

"I expect a continued close partnership between the US and India. There is a great partnership - both at the government level and at the people-to-people level - and I fully expect that to continue," a State Department spokesperson told reporters.

The State Department also said it will continue raising human rights concerns. While there has been occasional criticism by Washington, political analysts say it is restrained in public criticism because it hopes India will act as a counterweight to an expansionist China.

"When we have concerns about human rights, as we have in India, we express those openly. We express them directly to the government of India. We have done that and we'll continue to do it, as we do with countries all around the world," the State Department spokesperson added.


China n Wednesday congratulated Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi following his election win, adding it was "ready to work" with its neighbour.

"China is ready to work with India to promote the healthy and stable development of relations between the two countries, in the fundamental interests of the two countries and peoples, with an eye to the big picture and a view to the future," foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told a regular press conference.

The BJP won 240 of 543 seats but fell short of the majority mark of 272. However, with crucial support from N Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Nitish Kumar's JD(U) and other alliance partners, the NDA crossed the halfway mark and won 292 seats.

The Congress won 99 seats, a much-improved performance from 52 it won in 2019, as the Opposition INDIA bloc defied exit poll predictions and won 234 seats, stunning the NDA with a strong showing.
