Journalist Kodeeswaran discusses the consequences of Prime Minister Modi's third-term government, which relies heavily on coalition parties following the upcoming state assembly elections. This coalition dependency marks a shift in the political landscape, as Modi's BJP can no longer govern independently. While the Congress party will avoid aggressive anti-Modi rhetoric, regional leaders like Akhilesh Yadav, Arvind Kejriwal, Tejashree Yadav, and Uddhav Thackeray are expected to take a more confrontational approach. Additionally, Kodeeswaran notes that political changes in France could impact Modi's administration, influencing India's foreign policy, trade, defense, and bilateral relations, making the political environment more challenging for Modi both domestically and internationally.
