NIKKEI FORUM 29th FUTURE OF ASIA Seminar Series 1st session How will India’s economic and foreign policy change in Narendra Modi’s third term?
In the recent lower house election in India, the ruling National Democratic Alliance won a majority securing a third straight term for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, the NDA lost as many as 60 seats, mainly due to farmers’ discontent and backlash over Modi’s Hindu nationalist policies. Modi will now have to depend on junior partners in the coalition to govern. Lessons from the election will push the government to devote more effort to improving the livelihood of farmers and the impoverished. Modi will also have to contend with leaders of regional parties in the coalition who frequently prioritize the interest of their own constituencies. In this session of "FUTURE OF ASIA" seminar, experts will examine the economic and foreign policy of Modi’s third term.
