In the second phase of the parliamentary elections in India, another group of people in India is going to the polls today. The results of the elections held on Tuesday, which took place in 16 states and territories of India, indicate that the people in these areas voted for the ruling coalition led by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. However, Mr. Vajpayee considered the likelihood that his party, the Bharatiya Janata Party, could exclusively form a government from its own members to be weak, stating that it seems India is moving towards a new coalition. Today's voting is taking place in the small state of Tripura located in northeastern India. The people of India will go to the polls in other regions of the country until May 10. The final results of the Indian elections are expected to be announced on May 13.
