Rocked by regional election defeats and investor dismay at the surprise loss of the central bank chief, India's ruling party is doubling down on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

India's divided opposition has seized on a new way to counter Prime Minister Narendra Modi's powerful Bharatiya Janata Party: bringing national and regional rivals together to take on the ruling party.

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has eked out a narrow, uncertain victory following a bitterly-fought state election in the south Indian state of Karnataka, with its minority government sworn in this morning.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party is set to wrest power from the Congress party in the southern state of Karnataka, a win that will give his ruling party momentum going into the 2019 general election.

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi voided almost all of India's cash last year, Kuldeep Mishra's savings were turned into worthless paper. The vegetable wholesaler was forced to spend hours in bank queues and his business suffered for a month.

In a bold move against corruption and unaccounted wealth, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has acted to arrest the drift in his popularity and place constraints on election funding, which will benefit him in crucial state elections next year.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi can't spend too long celebrating after pushing through India's biggest reform since the 1990s: Economists say even more politically sensitive measures are still needed.
