NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to return to power with an even bigger majority in parliament after a mammoth general election that ended on Sunday, exit polls showed, a far better showing than expected in recent weeks. To rule, a party needs to win 272 seats. Modi's alliance won 336 seats in the 2014 election. According to another poll released by Todays Chanakya, Modi's alliance is likely to get around 350 seats. A clear win would mean Modi can carry out reforms investors expect to make India an easier place for doing business, they said.
