Political battle to succeed Modi brews quietly in India
TOKYO -- In the upcoming general elections in India, set to begin in April, a third consecutive victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Hindu nationalist party led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, 73, appears to be a safe bet.
If the BJP wins the election and allows Modi to stay in office, he will reach the party's stipulated retirement age of 75 in September 2025, halfway through his third term.
