Indian elections: The real story behind India's economic growth | India Votes 2024

The final episode of India Votes 2024 looks at the nation’s economic boom as it heads towards becoming the world’s third-largest economy. Prime Minister Modi wants India’s GDP to hit $US7 trillion by the end of this decade. Despite the growth, the question is who is benefitting? We’ll be heading into Dharavi, India’s largest slum to gauge the views of struggling workers and families who will be casting their votes in this massive election. Finally, we hear from India’s youth to understand why a significantly smaller proportion of young Indians are exercising their democratic rights to cast their ballots.

INDIA VOTES 2024, presented by the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) is a six-episode series that takes you on an insightful journey through the heart of Indian democracy. While the Indian Prime Minister #NarendraModi is seeking a third term, a brand new Coalition is on the bloc – the I.N.D.I.A (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) featuring key opposition leaders such as Congress scion Rahul Gandhi, TMC leader Mamata Banerjee, and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal among many others.

INDIA VOTES 2024 goes beyond the headline and daily coverage to explain critical topics and issues facing Indian voters as they participate in the elections of the world’s largest democracy.

If Western media doesn't like Mr. Modi as PM of India, I'm pretty sure that he's doing something right.

This is not Journalism ...This is pure Propaganda

Not only modi. Opposition also are using religion and caste in politics. Why haven't you shown that? If modi is hindu right. Oppositions are muslim right. Try to be neutral while accusing others of being not neutral. Modi gets in fact sweeps the urban areas. It's BJP's bastion. And youth, middle class are BJP's voters.

Inflation was 14% during 2009-14. Now is 5%
GDP growth is average 7%+ higher than UPA. GDP doubled in last 10 years compared to last 65 years
Infrastructure (road, railways, airports) all almost double in just 10 years compared to 65 years
Start-ups went to 400k from 700 in 2014
Digitalization is almost completed.
And about employment. Why don't you count the unorganized sector? Everyone can't get government job.
Opposition don't have any issue. Both core hindutva voters and floating voters are happy with BJP

"The Dharavi slum was founded in 1884 during the British colonial era, and grew because the expulsion of factories and residents from the peninsular city centre by the colonial government and from the migration of rural Indians into urban Mumbai. " Another problem created by the British.
