Is India's mainstream news biased towards Narendra Modi and his government? | India Votes 2024

India’s press freedom ranking has plummeted in recent years as more journalists are jailed and harassed, while organisations that file reports critical of the governing BJP often face repercussions from the authorities. At the same time, the mainstream news media has been accused of taking a pro-BJP stance and those who don’t toe the government line are fleeing to other digital platforms.

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 #RahulGandhi, TMC leader #MamataBanerjee, 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.
