Reply to comment by AdComprehensive6588 in India: The Modi Question (2023) - BBC investigates Indian PM Modi's rise in the Hindu Right-Wing stratosphere and deadly Anti-Muslim and Anti-Sikh Politics [00:59:00] by CryMore36

Yes, but you are moving away from the topic at hand. The question was: Why is he voted for again and again and you said foreign policy.

Here is someone elses write up on the same topic: https://www.boell.de/en/2014/04/12/does-foreign-policy-matter-elections

It definitely matters, but only the elite think or discuss it. The majority are worried about putting food on the table and do not think critically. If we talk about what is important and what people should be thinking about we are in total agreement, but your response to the question asked is totally wrong in that aspect.

Not quite, the OP asked if he’s a good politician, I merely answered good things he’s done.

OP asked: why is he getting elected, either ... or he is a good politician. You then go on to say: Modi has tried to maintain India’s diplomatic relations with other countries. You mention nothing else at all. You therefore use foreign policy as one of the biggest if not only reason he gets elected again. I go on to inform you that the electorate does not care about foreign policy in India.

As I said earlier, you are not wrong, but that is not the reason he is elected. I do not want to have a discussion or argument about it, I was just informing you in case you were not an Indian.
