Not too many more vibrant democracies in the world than India: White House

The White House, led by National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby, praises India's vibrant democracy as over 969 million people vote in the Indian elections to elect 545 Members of Parliament from 2,660 political parties. The close India-US relationship strengthens under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, focusing on critical emerging technologies, the Indo-Pacific quad, people-to-people exchanges, and a strong military partnership.
