What if Modi wins for the third term

Narendra Modi is widely expected to win a third term as Indian Prime Minister on Tuesday, leading the world’s most populous nation and fastest-growing major economy. The 73-year-old Hindu nationalist has strengthened ties with the US and Europe as a counterweight to China while maintaining relations with Russia. Modi aims to secure a permanent UN Security Council seat and expand India’s global influence through major events. However, his rule faces concerns over rising authoritarianism and discrimination against minorities. photo:reuters
