Alastair Campbell suggests that India's leadership under Modi may not necessarily align with the democratic values associated with the United Nations.

“but I think it's important to understand both that you're right that they will need a position in the U.N but also that we shouldn't assume that that is necessarily going to be something that's going to sit easily with the kind of values which the UN epitomized in the 1990s”

Rory Stewart characterizes Narendra Modi as a deeply disturbing figure due to his history in Gujarat and his management of religious polarization.

“he is a deeply disturbing figure but India's nominal Grace including inflation is projected to be at 15.4 percent this year”
