NEW DELHI -- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party on Thursday scored a major election win in India's most populous and bellwether state of Uttar Pradesh, potentially setting the tone for the 2024 national election, in which it will seek a third consecutive five-year term.
Uttar Pradesh -- home to over 200 million people and currently governed by Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party -- along with four other Indian states, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Manipur and Goa, held staggered polls between Feb. 10 and March 7.
