Trying to be more more knowledgable about this. This headline seems very charged to me. What are the real stories? > Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi scores resounding victory in Indian general election, securing second five-year term https://twitter.com/bbcbreaking/status/1131506773561630721

People gonna talk talk talk .. bbc can say whatever they want ... India is shining and growing after a long long time under modi... it’s good he won

Twitter Oomnj OP May 23, 2019

Yeah I just wanna learn more. Is the media being dishonest about him like they are with Brexit and trump? What, in your opinion, are the best and worst things about modi?

Oracle aiabc May 23, 2019

I think it’s biased .... there is a endless list of thinks that he did for the people of India and for making India as a strong country in the global picture .. India has been Ruled by corrupt politicians who looted billions of dollars of public money before him , in his prime minister ship in the last 5 years - developments in the country have increased multifolds , solar panels in the remotest villages to solve the basic needs of water , electricity has been solved , like for example India launched their first successful satellite to mars , even before nasa did it , bbc and other media did not even mention it. There are many others like these , he made India such a strong ally to all the countries and at the UN summit India has a strong voice now because of great alliance and have crushed terrorism from Pakistan and also China borders . Before him the country was being divided and ruled by people based on cast , religion , in a way I feel people are now getting educated and voting not based on family history but on what has been done by the government for their benefit and the country’s benefit Bad things , well I will say am a die hard fan of him so may not have too many. He did bring out all the black money by doing demonetization , lot of people lost their black money so they will complain it as a bad thing , lot of people will term it as a religious victory ( hindu religious party) but 30% electorate votes are by Muslims and they even voted for modi ... so that logic by the opposition that modi is a Hindu party is all biased ... Big opposition party congress who spoiled and ruled India for 40+ years have used earlier Cambridge analytica for similar corruption and other cases too. Modi in the last 5 years doesn’t have a single corruption charge doesn’t own anything personally and has no family and worked tirelessly for the country - literally at his age I won’t be able to follow 10% of what he does in his daily routine

Is he basically Trump?

Without the marriages, divorces and sex scandals.

Well said

Views are absolutely correct. Sad to see world is moving in this direction

Twitter Oomnj OP May 23, 2019

To clarify - what views do you think are correct?

Microsoft ^^^ May 23, 2019

Hindu fake nationalist

JB Hunt qxgrksk12 May 23, 2019

Description seems accurate when he allows stuff like this https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/12/killing-of-muslim-girl-india-hindu-religious-tensions

Twitter Oomnj OP May 23, 2019

In a country of a billion and a half people, this seems like a very tragic but a anecdotal example. Of course I could be wrong since I don’t know a lot about this, but is there is a systemic concern?

Google cEMj22 May 23, 2019

He allows? Media is super biased. Situation on ground is actually reversed.

Oracle aiabc May 23, 2019

This is all bs and bbc should be banned from publishing news about India and the state of India

JB Hunt qxgrksk12 May 23, 2019

Fake news, right?

Oracle aiabc May 23, 2019

Not sure if you are Indian or know anything about India ... I will not call it fake news ... but also look at 1984 riots when earlier governments ruled ... and many other such cases ... I hope you are smart enough to know how much the news can be biased based on what it’s fed

Oh BBC just branded him as Hindu nationalist. INC must have some connection with BBC.

Oath RoundOff May 23, 2019

Fake news, BBC sucks.

Amazon qazwsxedc1 May 23, 2019

He has a big fan following . But more importantly the opposition is super weak. They don’t have powerful candidates so it’s more of people not wanting Rahul Gandhi

Har ek baar Modi Sarkar.

For the first time in Indian political history, rampant issues like inflation and corruption were never talking points before election. Media houses like TWP, NYT, Guardian, BBC are just reporting with their eyes closed.

Google Indian cat May 23, 2019

Inflation? Really? Shows you aren't worth taking seriously.

Accenture bindok May 23, 2019

Anyhow Indians don't take apple seriously like western folks
