The Spin

Right narrative

The Indian general election's extended duration is necessitated by logistical and security reasons to ensure a smooth and secure voting process — not to benefit Modi or his campaign. Despite opposition concerns about costs and advantages to the incumbent, the general election remains a fundamental aspect of India's democracy.

Left narrative

Modi's inauguration of a new Hindu temple at Ayodhya illustrated his efforts for re-election. His anti-Muslim history has shaped his political path. The temple consecration underlined India's shift towards Hindu supremacy, challenging its secular fabric. Modi's actions often blur the line between state and religion. The future of India's democracy is at stake.
