Unemployment a big issue, but will it dent Modi govt? Election charcha at Lucknow University

In Lucknow University, we chat with students about issues that are important to them. We are joined in this conversation by Dr Medusa, a popular satirist on Instagram who takes on the task of praising PM Modi.

Big concerns for students are unemployment, paper leaks and the Agniveer issue. We discuss why Modi continues to be popular among women in rural parts of Uttar Pradesh. On the issue of ‘Modi versus Who’, students say they want a representative form of democracy where they choose their MP, rather than a presidential form of election, which is all about one man.

We discuss the role of the media in playing up the divide between Hindus and Muslims, and Lucknow’s unique history of harmony between the two religions.
