In a reflective statement following the Lok Sabha election results, veteran politician N K Premachandran described the outcome as a promising beginning for India's democracy. Highlighting the importance of a robust opposition, he stressed that the newly formed coalition government and the opposition must remain vigilant.

Speaking to PTI, he voiced the necessity of a strong opposition for a healthy parliamentary democracy, pointing out that the opposition INDIA bloc's 234 seats mark a significant improvement.
The elections saw the BJP emerging as the single largest party with 240 seats, a notable drop from the 303 seats previously held.
