How Long Will Modi Be Prime Minister
Current Political Headwinds
Modi faces mounting domestic pressure. Recent signals tracked 100 events involving protests over voter rolls and challenges to his election administration. His influence score has declined to 11 out of 100, reflecting reduced political leverage despite holding office since 2014.
