According to the global network, Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India, recently held the unveiling ceremony of the Hindu Rama Temple, and Indian Prime Minister Modi attended and presided over the ceremony, which was regarded by the Indian media as the prelude to Modi's election campaign in 2024.

Speaking of Modi, there must be no need to say more, after all, in India, where the caste system has not been completely eliminated, he can go all the way from the bottom to the position of prime minister, and have been in charge of India for a whole ten years, which is enough to show that he has a very clever political skill.
In addition, Modi's "Bharatiya Janata Party" has won the local council elections in four key states, including Chhattisgarh, with a near-complete victory, which means that the possibility of Modi's re-election is increasing.
In fact, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) itself is a very religious party, and Modi intends to tie it to Hindu nationalist politics, after all, at least eighty percent of India's population is Hindu, and as long as Modi has these potential votes, he has not had much to worry about.
Moreover, given that India is holding a general election in the near future, even if Modi has tried to prepare for votes, it is admittedly not so surprising.
Modi seems to be interested in taking the opportunity to "canvass votes"
However, it is important to note here why Modi's attendance at the unveiling ceremony of the Rama temple caused such a stir at the international level, and what does this have to do with this year's general election in India?
First of all, the location of the Rama temple is very special, it was originally a mosque, but in 1992 Hindu fanatics forcibly demolished the mosque and a great conflict broke out with the Muslims.
Muslims were killed or injured at least 2,000 in the conflict, and then they took the case directly to the Supreme Court of India, but because Muslims are a minority in India and Modi himself has always valued Hindus, the Supreme Court of India finally allowed the Hindus to build the Rama Temple on the site of the mosque.
Secondly, Modi shouted at the ceremony: "God has made me the representative of all the people of India." "I won't talk much about India's religious beliefs and many other issues, but it must be emphasized that this opening ceremony is of great significance to India or the "Indian Janata Party", especially after Modi was once deified, and its political impact is undoubtedly very powerful.

Like other countries, political tensions have been rising in India in the run-up to the general election. Although the "Bharatiya Janata Party" has grown compared to before, the power of the "Congress Party" should not be underestimated, and based on this background, Modi's performance has also been criticized by many Congress politicians.
However, despite the condemnation of many opposition politicians, Modi's unveiling ceremony was undoubtedly very successful, which is enough to show that he is still popular within the Bharatiya Janata Party, which means that it will not be easy for the opposition coalition, including the "Congress Party", to defeat Modi.
After this battle, Modi's popularity soared again
Of course, then again, although India's economy has indeed developed somewhat under Modi's leadership, and even surpassed its former overlord, the United Kingdom, to become the world's fifth-largest economy, if you look at it from another perspective, India has many internal princely states and complex religions, and there are still many problems that need to be solved urgently.
