| NEW DELHI Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi scored an overwhelming reelection victory on Thursday, winning a second five-year mandate while fighting off concerns about rising unemployment and his divisive Hindu nationalist policies.
Results released by India Election Commission late Thursday showed Modi Bharatiya Janata Party winning in more than 300 of 542 parliamentary races and parties allied with the BJP leading in dozens more, with some votes still to be counted.
A total of 272 seats are needed to secure a majority and select the prime minister.
