India's General Elections 2024: What Drives Modi's Appeal?
Listen now
Description
In a recent discussion hosted by Raza Rumi, renowned commentator and host, Dr. Manish Dabhade, an academic at Jawaharlal Nehru University, and an expert in diplomacy and international relations, shed light on the factors driving Narendra Modi's popularity and potential return as Prime Minister of India. Narendra Modi's popularity is driven by his track record and promises outlined in the BJP manifesto, focusing on issues like agriculture, infrastructure, and financial inclusion. Modi's governance is perceived as free of corruption, which resonates with voters. Additionally, his proactive approach against corruption garners support. Some experts believe identity politics is gradually losing significance as governance and development take center stage. In terms of foreign policy, Modi aims to position India as a global leader while balancing partnerships with the US and Russia. However, issues with Pakistan remain unresolved due to entrenched positions on both sides, despite occasional diplomatic gestures. #Indianelection2024 #india #narendramodi #bjp #newwaveglobal
