This comes as the markets recovered after they reported their worst session in four years on Tuesday, when vote counting trends revealed that the Bharatiya Janata Party wouldn’t secure the majority to form a government on its own. The market surge came after constituents of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance pledged support to form a government for the third term.
