After the elections, there’s a really important international summit coming up. Will PM Modi be able to attend it? You’ll find out here. Right now, all over India, elections are happening. They started on April 19th and will continue till June 1st. We’ll get to know the results of these elections on June 4th. Now, here’s the interesting part. As soon as these results come out, just a few days later, the G7 summit is happening. And in the past, there have been several G7…
India as a Special Guest at G7
In the recent summits, you might have noticed that India has been invited as a special guest, and this is a pretty interesting thing because India is not a G7 country. But still, in 2019 when the G7 summit happened in France, India was invited. In 2020, due to COVID, PM Modi couldn’t attend, obviously. In 2021, India was invited again in Japan when the G7 summit took place. Now, Italy, which is hosting the G7 summit in 2024, called PM Modi and told him that you…
PM Modi’s Tweet about G7 Summit
Hey, come on, let’s attend the Savan Summit and you’ll see that PM Modi tweeted about it. He said that Georgia Miloni, the Prime Minister of Italy, called him. PM Modi congratulated her for Italy’s Liberation Day and thanked her for inviting him to the G7 Summit in June. Now, this has sparked a discussion in India, and many news channels have uploaded videos where it is written that Georgia Miloni is confident that PM Modi will win the elections and lead India.
Will PM Modi Be Made Again?
Yo, will the PM be made or what? Like I told you, this invite came before the election results. So many people are saying that this invite should have been sent after the happy election results, you know? So we could find out which party would come to power and what would happen. But here’s a basic question that comes up – if the current ruling coalition doesn’t get a majority, something else happens. Let’s say another coalition comes to power or there’s a hung parliament where no one gets a majority. In that case, what will happen?
The Scenario of a Caretaker Prime Minister
Alright, listen up folks. I gotta tell you what went down in 2014, and let me tell ya, it’s pretty darn interesting. So, in 2014, when the election results were announced, it turned out that Prime Minister Modi was gonna be the PM of the country. BJP got a massive majority, I mean, it was huge! And then, the Prime Minister at the time, Dr. Manmohan Singh, he resigned, he handed in his notice. The President of India back then, Pranab Mukherjee, you can see him here, you’ll find it in this article from 2014. The date is right there, May 17, you’ll see it. So yeah, that’s when Manmohan Singh resigned, man.
The Role of Caretaker Prime Minister
Prime Minister of India, now what happens after that? President of India, Manmohan Singh ji, they say that you have resigned, I accept your resignation but until a new government is formed, until a new cabinet is formed, you keep caretaker Prime Minister and Manmohan Singh ji, until Prime Minister Modi’s swearing-in grand ceremony doesn’t happen on 26th in 2024, until then he was the caretaker Prime Minister. This is a very important thing, so in this particular scenario, which we are talking about here, let’s assume something.
Political Uncertainty and Caretaker Prime Minister
When there’s political uncertainty, it’ll be the same in this particular case too. They’ll tell President of India, Modi ji, that for some time until a new government is formed, you should be the caretaker Prime Minister. And in that case, the care-taker Prime Minister, PM Modi, might go to Italy, you know, as a matter of course. I’m talking about a scenario where the NDA doesn’t get a majority. If they do get a majority, then obviously there won’t be any problem. PM Modi will easily go back to being the Prime Minister of India and represent India in the summit.
The Importance of the G7 Summit
And this time, the summit of Italy is gonna be super interesting, ya know? ‘Cause they gonna discuss a bunch of topics, like most probably Iran-Israel issue, and also Ukraine-Russia topic gonna be discussed here again. Gotta see what India says in their declaration, but the most interesting thing I gotta tell ya is China’s government media and their government keep taunting the G7 countries all the time. They say that G7 is like a powerless group, man. Recently, Global Times reported it.
The Economic Power of India and China
When I see this tweet, it’s pretty surprising to hear China talking so positively about India. Here, you can see that the BRICS countries, which include Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, alone will contribute as much to the world economy as the entire G7 over the next five years. You can see here the BRICS versus G7 contribution to the world economy growth from 2019 to 2024. And below here, it says that…
The Relevance of India in G7
India and China, who alone contribute more than a third of global growth, are the ones responsible for handling it. You can see here that BRICS is at 43.3, while G7 is only at 20. It’s well known that the G7 countries aren’t growing much in between; several of them even went through a recession. Now, the interesting thing here is that if India shifts from BRICS to G7, the whole equation changes. The relevance of the G7 rally increases and you can understand why India is consistently invited to G7.
China’s View on G7
Yo, if India ain’t invited, then it’s like G7 is hella weak in terms of economic power. Seems like they ain’t got no power at all. Nowadays, India’s only use for G7 is to boost its presence. That’s why China’s all nervous about India not joining the official G7 and making it a G8. ‘Cause if that happens, man, you’ll see the whole world starting to understand the importance of the eight, and China should really think genuinely about it. On one hand, they’re throwing shade at G7, but on the other hand…
China’s Nervousness and BRICS
If you wanna add countries like Pakistan to BRICS, then again this tweet seems pretty cool, but behind this tweet there’s a lot of nervousness from China that’s hidden. So, let’s see what June brings. It’s gonna be very interesting when the election results come out, and along with that, India’s Prime Minister is gonna be doing some very important foreign visits. I’ll keep bringing you updated videos later. Finally, I’ll ask you a question here: which edition of the G7 summit is gonna happen in Italy this time, 20th, 10th, or 50th?
In conclusion, the upcoming G7 summit in Italy holds great significance not only for the international community but also for the economic power players like India and China. The invitation extended to PM Modi raises questions about his attendance as the PM of India. With political uncertainty looming and the possibility of a caretaker Prime Minister, the scenario becomes even more intriguing. As the world anticipates the outcomes of both the election results and the G7 summit, the fate of India’s representation at this crucial event remains uncertain yet impactful.
