FILE - In this Saturday, Feb. 13, 2016 file photo, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaks during the inaugural ceremony of 'Make in India' week, an initiative launched to encourage international companies to manufacture their goods in India, in Mumbai, India. Final curtain fell down on Friday, May 24, 2019, on the marathon Indian parliament election that gave a second term for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, despite his government’s flawed economic performance and his Hindu nationalist party’s divisive rhetoric. Now that the election is over and with the victory being sealed, Modi will have to deliver what he has promised. But the main challenge, of course, before him will be the country’s recent slow economic growth which a research says has made Indian consumers to spend less on everything from toothbrush to automobiles.
