PM Narendra Modi world’s 9th most powerful person in Forbes list


New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI) : Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been ranked as the world’s ninth most powerful person by Forbes magazine in a 2015 list which is topped by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Modi was placed 14th in the 2014 Forbes list of world’s powerful people.

Forbes while releasing the list today at the same time said governing 1.2 billion people in India requires more than “shaking hands” and that Modi must pass his party BJP’s reform agenda and keep “fractious opposition” under control.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is at the second spot followed by US President Barack Obama (third) and Pope Francis (fourth) and Chinese President Xi Jinping (fifth).

Apart from Modi who is at the ninth position, others in the top ten are Microsoft Founder Bill Gates at the sixth place, US Federal Reserve Chairperson Janet Yellen (7), UK Prime Minister David Cameron (8) and Google’s Larry Page(10)

About Modi, the magazine said that India’s “populist” Prime Minister presided over 7.4 per cent GDP growth in his first year in office, and “raised his profile” as a global leader during official visits with Barack Obama and Xi Jinping.

“A barnstorming tour of Silicon Valley reinforced his nation’s massive importance in tech. But governing 1.2 billion people requires more than shaking hands: Now Modi must pass his party’s reform agenda and keep fractious opposition under control,” it said.

To compile the list of world’s most powerful people, the magazine said it considered hundreds of candidates from various walks of life all around the globe, and measured their power along four dimensions. They are whether the candidate has power over lots of people, financial resources controlled by each person, whether the candidate is powerful in multiple spheres and whether the candidates actively used their power.

    Mr. Modi could have easily climbed to position 2 or 3 provided he had stuck to his poll promises, especially with regard to economic development and bringing back black money, controlled his party men and cabinet colleagues from making controversial statements on sensitive issues and dealt firmly with all provocative, venomous communal organizations.

    Every BJP MP MLA and Saffron leader is busy on commenting SRK and comparing him with Hafiz saeed.

    A powerful PM cannot control spices price and cannot reduce the oil prices even though the entire world is selling oil at very low price.
    A powerful PM cannot stop the great personalities from returning their awards.
    A powerful PM cannot stop Beef ban and Beef issue that is causing communal disturbance.

If everybody as a nation supports him, with in an year or two he will make India as the top country in the world. Just because of dirty politics , all his names and efforts are projected very very wrongly. Let's all ensure their plan doesn't succeed and we have the great personality Mr Modi as our PM for many more years.

    Moody's indicated raising intolerance could effect growth. BJP dismissed the report saying it could be prepared by junior journalist. This could be the same as well.

    Dr. MMS was on cover page in 2004 or so in time magazine and he was disgraced by the same magazine 2012. These magazines could change their stories, all depends on Bihar elections. Should BJP makes any gains, Modi will be still be ahead, if not, he will wind up as Dr. MMS.

    The bottomline is does Modi's emergence helped any average Indian? The answer will be Bihar.

    Quote:

    Reacting to the government's statement, a Moody's spokesperson said, The report was published by and is the view of Moody's Analytics as part of its economic outlook series . The report included a section observing political developments in the context of their potential economic impact, and did not advocate any political agenda or perspective. Moody's Analytics provides economic research and analysis and is a separate company from Moody's Investors Service, the ratings agency

    Above all..., when it comes to our PM's advise to his fellow hardline background MP's & leaders to display and practice secularism & restraint, I don't think they give any respect to our honorable PM Namo (Sakshi's, Som, Sharma, basappa etc.,).

    So Vladimir Putin is first in the list. Is it on the basis that he unanimously took decision to attack Syria (ISIS) ? It doesn't make sense when you are attacking a country which is counted among least in military defence. Let him take unanimous decision to attack any world's powerful country with powerful military capabilities, such as America then we can call him world's powerful person.

    So our Narendra bhai on 9th rank in the list? Too much of show off in the sight of international arena, too much of lobbying from his chelas across the globe to show the world he is top class and too much of Indian media hype since the time of election campaign (paid news). According to internal sources, around Rs.500 crores Indian rupees were given to Indian media to portray him and his party as superior to win 2014 elections.

    Agree with 100%. It appears that Forbes are looking to be and stay popular themselves by piggy back riding on whoever are in power or who are in office during that era.

    Mahendra, Once a waiter always envious of another waitress. He can be project himself as being powerful but what good doesit do .China stabbed him. Nepal told him go to hell, pakistan is always red & have increased their nonsense . bangladesh is filtering in more than ever, Sri Lanka is more aggressive & catching our poor fishermen. Saudi Ambassador has raped right under Fekus nose & has managed to give the slip . In short it is Mockery of the external ministry portfolio. ha , ha , ha . Continue to pat your back, while the people of India are a disgruntled lot.

    ALLAN,

    DID YOU EXPECT CHINA AND PAKISTAN GOOD BE WITH US? DURING YOUR CHOR PARY RULE THEY WERE GOOD WITH US?

    REGARDING NEPAL, THE CURRENT GOVT IS RULED BY COMMUNISTS AND CHINA IS ALSO RULED BY COMMUNISTS. AUTOMATICALLY THEY WILL SUPPORT CHINA NOT INDIA, BY SAYING THIS, WITHIN FEW MONTH YOU CAN FIND THE CHANGE IN GUARD IN NEPAL AND AGAIN THEY WILL FOLLOW INDIA.

    REGARDING SRILANKA AND INDIA YOUR VIEWS ARE WRONG, AFTER MAHENDRA RAJAPAKSHE OUSTER SRILANKA IS HAVING GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH INDIA THAN CHINA. REGARDING BANGHLADESH ALSO, THE BANGLA INDIA BORDER TREATY SOLVED VERY LONG BORDER PROBLEM,MAKE YOUR FACTS RIGHT BEFORE COMMENTING......
