Sadanand Dhume, a well-known American expert and columnist on South Asian affairs, said that this is definitely the Modi era in India. He said that the position of the ruling BJP is clearly strong in the country's Lok Sabha elections.
Sadanand Dhume, a well-known American columnist and associated with a think tank and renowned organization, said that BJP will return to power for the third time. Dhume said that just as there has been a Trump era in American politics since 2015, whether he was in power or not, the Modi era has clearly arrived in India around 2013. “Whether you like him or hate him, he is at the center of the national debate,” he said. Dhume said that the Indian government led by PM Narendra Modi has performed very well on the economic front.
The opposition almost collapsed
Writer Sadanand Dhume said that in many ways the opposition in India has almost collapsed. Congress could not recover after two consecutive disappointing performances in 2014 and again in 2019. Sadanand Dhume said, historically, India has long been a country with only one powerful national party. In the 60s, 70s, 80s, Congress was in power and now BJP was in power. However, not to the extent that Congress once had dominance.
Indian elections are most important
Indian-American professor Irfan Nooruddin said that parliamentary elections in India will be important. Georgetown University professor Irfan Nooruddin said criticism of the decline of democratic values in India seems “a bit excessive” but the issue of “targeting of leaders” needs to be further examined.
