Letter Published in The National UAE on 8May 19 Could infrastructure projects be the key to ballot victory?

I write in reference to your article India elections 2019: Developments and economy draw voters to Narendra Modi (May 5). Ramola Talwar Badam’s article on the current Indian elections elaborately explains the pulse of the people on the development of new roads and high rise-buildings, and other projects designed to push India into the future. As Ms Badam has rightly mentioned, the allegations continuously being levelled at the main opposition Congress party will help Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Outsiders will hopefully begin to understand the realities on the ground as this election continues. But ultimately, it is up to the Indian people to decide whether or not to give Mr Modi another chance.
