How BJP's election campaign is in a stark contrast to India's ground realities
Uttar Pradesh, India –– A gathering of distressed farmers and supporters of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party got into a heated argument on a recent April afternoon in Kakda, a dusty village in northern Uttar Pradesh state.
But 25-year-old Modi supporter Arnav Ballian admires the leader for his muscular foreign policy. "Whether it's Pakistan or China, no one has the guts to look towards India with an evil eye. The national security is as important as other issues," he said. Modi ordered airstrikes on what he described as a training camp of a proscribed militant group, Jaish-e-Mohammad, in Pakistan's northern Balakot area. The move backfired as the fighter jets reportedly missed the intended target, ratcheting up tensions in the region.
Modi has also sought to politicise the country's army, marketing its operations in disputed Kashmir for BJP's political gain in the elections. "We don't yet know whether these international factors will help the BJP.
