India's General Elections 2024: What Drives Modi's Appeal?
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.

U.S. Economy Slows | Bitcoin Seen as Risky | Inflation and Global Crisis Worry Voters
Host Nauraiz Rana is in conversation with Steve Hanke, an American economist and professor of applied economics at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
The U.S. economy is experiencing a slowdown, raising concerns about a potential recession. Since March 2022, the money supply has dropped by 3.2%, an unusual decline for the U.S. The Federal Reserve's tightening measures could impact the money supply and the path toward recession.
As the U.S. approaches an election year, government spending typically increases. However, the Federal Reserve may hold back on aggressive monetary actions despite the growing fiscal deficit. U.S. support for wars in Ukraine and Gaza is focal aspect.
Inflation has risen since President Biden took office, affecting voters' views. The administration may increase antitrust policies and protectionism ahead of the elections.
Bitcoin is seen as a high-risk, speculative asset, while gold remains a stable, longstanding currency. Pakistan faces political and economic instability following recent elections and the imprisonment of Imran Khan. Economist Professor Hanke supports Khan's economic reform ideas, which could improve Pakistan's economy if enacted.
