Is the Indian prime minister indulging in excessive international travel? The number countries visited by Prime Minister Modi is below the average visited by the leaders of the United Nations Security Council P-5 countries – the United States, Russia, United Kingdom, China, and France
The data on countries visited by the leaders of United Nations P-5, Germany, Brazil and South Africa under-represents the total travel conducted, as they visited some countries more than once in a given year. In comparison, Modi’s international travel in his first year was not excessive and yet he received some sharp disapproval. What explains the criticism?
