The United States has praised India's recent elections, calling them the largest exercise of the electoral franchise in any country at any time in history. However, the U.S. refrained from commenting on the lack of Muslim representation from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Lok Sabha.

The general elections in India were held from April 19 to June 1 in seven phases to elect all 543 members of the Lok Sabha. The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) emerged victorious, and Narendra Modi was sworn in as the prime minister for a record third consecutive term on June 9.

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller addressed reporters on Thursday during his daily news conference, celebrating the scale of India's electoral process. "We celebrate the election that happened in India; it was the largest exercise of the electoral franchise in any country at any time in history," Miller said.

Miller was asked about the recent election results and the representation of Muslims in the Indian Parliament. He declined to comment specifically on the issue of Muslim representation, emphasizing that it is a matter for the people of India to decide.
