India election 2019: Can you only win votes with bad economics? - BBC News

India's political parties have made many big promises in this election season - and most of them have focused on the economy.

The country has enjoyed fast growth for years, but there are concerns it is headed for a slowdown. So how many of these promises are realistic? And do promises that win votes have to equal bad economics?

I'm shocked. The 1st BBC video which matches with my ideology.
I think #1 & #2 leads to Venezuelan crisis. #3 is a must for a developing economy.
