Most Indian students TRT World spoke to admire Prime Minister Narendra Modi but they are also critical about his handling of India's economy

"I think the [BJP] government has been great. Though some parts of it like the economic aspect has bloomed, it has been at the cost of something else. I also think things are more polarised now and right than before. So, on the whole, I don't think it has been great.

To me voting is really confusing because it's like between just two strong parties without a third option. There are not many options. Also, there are not many women candidates. So honestly, it's confusing, I don't know who to vote for.""I won't be telling you who I am voting for but I am satisfied with how the government is doing right now. At least we are getting to know the government is doing work.

If I had to rate the BJP government I would give it negative. Negative out of ten. It has been horrible as far as minorities are concerned. It has degraded economic conditions, unemployment is at its highest. I don't think it has done anything positive that could be counted in its favour.""Any government in India that has ruled has not done its 100 percent. BJP is better than Congress. It has done its 20 percent.

The strategy that Modi has put forward is very great regarding international politics and all. I won't comment on India politics which is where it's more Hindu religion inclined… RSS and BJP… that idea, but apart from that if you see how his politics has been outside [India] you can see where India is right now. Earlier the PM was good but then Modi has stepped up the game for international diplomacy and I give him that credit.

In this election, there have been more narratives stated in the campaigns. As we can see, the coalitions have been built against this BJP government, parties that fought against each other last time are coming together. It will alter election arithmetic, this time.
