To Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi’s credit, he has built up strong ties with world leaders, especially United States (US) President Donald Trump. He is often compared with the imperious Indira Gandhi. He has to instil confidence in them, kickstart the rural economy and oversee a revival of the industrial sector. His successor Indira Gandhi continued with his policies; she devalued the rupee in 1966. Modi does not have a family lineage like Indira Gandhi did, nor is he an accidental PM like PV Narasimha Rao or Manmohan Singh.
