Part 12/15:
Looking Ahead: Challenges and Opportunities for Modi’s Third Term
Navigating a Coalition Government
This election marked the first time Modi must govern through a coalition, relying on allies like Janata Dal United (JDU) and Telugu Desam Party (TDP). Managing these alliances—each with its priorities and regional demands—will test Modi’s leadership style, which has traditionally been centralized and top-down.
The prime minister faces the challenge of balancing internal coalition dynamics while pushing forward his vision of a "developed India" by 2047. Targets for rapid urban and rural development, infrastructural reforms, and technological growth remain central to his agenda.
