PENJERLA/NEW DELHI, India - It was supposed to be Johnson & Johnson’s biggest manufacturing plant in India. It was to eventually employ at least 1,500 people and help bring development to a rural area near Hyderabad in southern India.

One of them said that demand didn’t rise as expected because of two shock policy moves by Prime Minister Narendra Modi: a late 2016 ban on then circulating high-value currency notes, and the nationwide introduction of a goods and services tax in 2017. Lack of jobs growth and a farm-income crisis because of low crop prices have hurt Modi in the current general election, according to several political strategists.

At the local pollution control board office, the member secretary Satyanarayana Reddy said the J&J plant had all the required approvals and he was not sure why it hadn’t started production. Vikas Srivastava, the managing director of J&J Consumer, who was at the 2014 groundbreaking, did not respond to calls for comment.

zebatweets adityakalra Hey dumb Reuters, Does Fed tells you the jobs data in US or you decide based on jobs in one foreign company? 🤦🤦

zebatweets adityakalra I thought the only jobs in India are illegal scam telemarketer call center jobs that are tacitly countenanced by the government?

Modi proclaims a cleaner India, but the reality may be more murkyEvery morning around dawn, dozens of people gather by the dusty banks of a strea... 'may be more' speculation disguised as news Cleaner India has to be clean in mind and thoughts too If it had not been for Modi, nobody would have attention to this issue. Which reporter was writing about it in 2014? There are still areas of improvement and let Modi focus on them in his 2nd term.

Modi proclaims a cleaner India, but the reality may be more murkyEvery morning around dawn, dozens of people gather by the dusty banks of a strea... Best is he attempted to make such 'Cleaner India' which he succeeded too in this short period! Nobody gave any shit before that.. Prime Minister Modi is still in power even after losing the air war with Pakistan? Amazing. He must have old friends in power that are as old as India’s warplanes. Extraordinarily idiotic reporting even by standards. 'Many people in north and south India told Reuters that a lack of toilets near fields where farmers spend their day' Somebody traveling in the wilderness would defecate in the open if nature calls.

India’s lower-caste Dalits, who helped elect Modi, now threaten to oust himDalit voters say Modi has failed to keep his economic pledges, while others point to growing caste-based violence and a perception that Modi’s government has diluted some legal protections for Dalits. Factually incorrect on all counts! More lies from the American media. Your interviews are selective, and you have no data to back up your claims. There are so many Dalits and others who love Modi. Why didn't you vote for them? This reads like a press release from Congress party and Western NGO system. You totally ignore the fact that Modi himself comes from a so-called 'lower' caste. He is loved by all groups of Indians, while the elites of India love the corrupt Congress party. BJP is for the development of the masses, and of all backgrounds. Get your facts straight.
