When Modi came to power, foreign observers lauded him as just the kind of decisive, business-minded economic reformer that India needed in order to fulfill its massive potential. During the election campaign, he seemed to recognize that achieving good economic results was more important than the politics of religious identity for which his party had been notorious.
当莫迪上台执政时，外国观察者赞颂他正好是印度实现其巨大潜力所需要的有商业头脑的果断的经济改革家。在选战期间，他似乎认识到，实现好的经济结果比政治身份政治更重要。他的政党在政治身份政治方面臭名昭著。
