General consensus is that he pushed out the elections this long because he’d hoped to get the India Trade Deal done as his FIL’s business interests would benefit to the tune of billions (his wife would see her own increased by at least half a billion). Only for Modi to put negotiations on hold for the duration of the Indian General Election, the results of which were such that he’s now had to announce his own resignation.

Modi resigned because that’s how India’s system works. That is a necessary step in their country to form a new government.

Why has PM Modi resigned? How does India form its government? (Firstpost, June 5, 2024)
