             Historic Rout in India Comes With Opposition's Victory

   by Steve Herman

   India's opposition party has won a resounding mandate in the country's
   general election, capturing a majority, on its own, of more than 280 of
   the 543 seats in the lower house of parliament. The outcome after a
   six-week election marks a historic loss for India's original political
   party. The world's largest democracy will have a new prime minister for
   the first time in a decade, able to form a government without relying
   on regional coalition partners. VOA's Steve Herman reports from New
   Delhi.
