In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has recorded the highest approval rating ever since its launch in 2014, has been maintained for 10 years. Modi became India's prime minister by taking a firm position in the BJP, with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist right-wing group, in Gujarat as political basis, which boasts India's highest economic growth. Based on a strong base of governance based on high approval ratings, he is increasing his influence not only in Korea but also in the international community.​
