INDIA-ELECTION-FILES
(FILES) In this photograph taken on May 17, 2014, Indian prime minister-elect Narendra Modi addresses supporters after performing a religious ritual at the banks of the river Ganges in Varanasi. Modi offered prayers by the Ganges May 17 in a religious ceremony beamed live on television that underlined his Hindu nationalist roots a day after his stunning electoral triumph in the country's general election.The rise of Indian prime minister-elect Narendra Modi is a rags-to-riches success story set to lead to a change in style in New Delhi power circles, long dominated by an English-speaking elite. The victory for Modi's right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was described as a "democratic asteroid" by one commentator and the manner of his leadership could prove alien to foreign allies. The results on May 16 confirmed the storming of New Delhi by a provincial politician with no prior role in national politics, a man who once swept floors and who has long scorned the country's first family, the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty.
