In India, the ruling Hindu nationalist BJ Party has won elections in four key states, including northern Uttar Pradesh, which represents about a fifth of India’s population and has more members of Parliament than any other state. The results are a boon for Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of national elections in 2024. Uttar Pradesh’s chief minister is Yogi Adityanath, a Hindu monk who has made anti-Muslim statements. Critics warn he has allowed for the police killing of Dalits and Muslims in the state, as well as a crackdown on journalists and activists.
