PM Narendra Modi's Popularity likely to See A Sustainable Surge Post-Sindoor Operations

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s personality is an exquisite conglomeration of ascetic and fatherly softness with toughness associated with a decisive ruler.

These qualities have swayed people across castes, creeds and genders towards his image.

Modi as A Decisive Leader

The successful carrying out of “Operation Sindoor” - precision attacks on terrorist camps inside Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir with optimum damage to terrorist infrastructure and lives alongside maximum care not to do damage to any Pakistani civilian infrastructure and civilian lives has palpably testified to Modi’s multifaceted personality and spiked his popularity. It fed into the narrative that was earlier formed following the unexpected surgical strike launched on the Pakistani side of the border by his government on September 28, 2016, that it is he who can put the threat of cross-border terrorism at bay. Still fresh in memory, Modi’s abrupt demonetization strategy in November 2016, although it failed to uproot corruption, however, could engender a perception that it is only Modi who could take surprisingly bold and quick decisions.
