How Different Will Modi 3.0 Be From Previous Terms?

The Diplomat  

On June 9, Narendra Modi was sworn in as India’s prime minister for the third consecutive term. From demonetizing 86 percent of the country’s cash overnight in his declared war against black money and criminalizing the Islamic divorce system of triple talaq to stripping India’s Jammu and Kashmir state of special constitutional status and statehood – all these major decisions were made by the Modi administration without consulting NDA partners. The Modi government has also been accused of unleashing different federal investigation agencies on the opposition – either putting its leaders behind bars or forcing them to join the BJP. Allies would want the government and the coalition to follow policies that do not hurt their constituencies,” Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay, author of “Narendra Modi: The Man, The Times,” told The Diplomat. In response, opposition parties have decided to keep Modi under pressure by saying that they will be waiting for the right time and opportunity to fulfill “people’s desire of not to be ruled by the BJP.” Modi has started his third innings cautiously, maintaining the status quo in the distribution of ministerial portfolios.
