1 NEW DELHI, India (CNN) - Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has conceded defeat in parliamentary elections in a stunning voting upset that should see the return of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty to power.
2 Vajpayee - who called the election six months early - is also expected to resign later Thursday, BJP President Venkaiah Naldu said.
3 The move follows a stronger than anticipated showing from the main Congress party headed by Italian born-Sonia Gandhi.
4 Though the party won’t be able to form a majority, the stage has now been set for Gandhi to become the next prime minister in the world’s biggest democracy.
5 Counting is continuing but unofficial trends by major TV stations and early results have Congress leading the BJP and likely to win over 200 seats in the 543-member lower house, or Lok Sabha.
6 The immediate result of the vote count is likely to be a hung parliament, with no party gaining a clear majority of 272 seats.
7 Senior Congress officials say they are confident they will be able to form a government with the help of left-leaning parties, CNN New Delhi Bureau Chief Satinder Bindra reports.
8 "We have not got the mandate of the people, we have decided to sit in the opposition," BJP President Naidu announced Thursday.
9 Gandhi, 57, is the widow of Rajiv who was assassinated in 1991 by Sri Lanka’s Tamil Tiger rebels. Rajiv is the son of former prime minister Indira Gandhi and grandson of India’s first premier, Jawaharlal Nehru.
10 India’s last female leader was Indira Gandhi, who was assassinated while in power in 1984.
11 Gandhi, and her popular children Rahul and Priyanka, have revitalized the Congress party, leading it to defy opinion polls that only weeks ago suggested they had no hope of faring well in this election. Vajpayee called the early election in a seemingly unassailable position - boosted by a booming economy and also a strengthening peace process with neighbor and arch-rival, Pakistan.
12 Congress party officials said they would keep pursuing a peace dialogue with Pakistan, while Islamabad - which had been hopeful the BJP-led ruling coalition would be reelected - says it is hopeful talks will continue.
13 The 79-year-old Vajpayee had sought a fourth term as prime minister, arguing he had earned another five years in office because he had turned the economy around.
14 Early opinion polls had indicated that Vajpayee s ruling Hindu nationalist-led coalition would easily win a new five-year term.
15 In contrast, the Congress party and its allies have been championing the nation’s poor, which the party says has been left out of India’s new found prosperity.
16 While Indians have traditionally voted on party, caste and religious lines, this election has been fought on bread-and-butter issues such as jobs, prosperity, water and electricity. [br] A hung parliament is a parliament ______.
选项
A、with only one party
B、in which no party has a clear majority
C、in which every party gains similar seats
D、in which there are more than one biggest parties
