In sharp contrast of the global ratings is the narrative being peddled by the Opposition parties in India, Their primary job is only to deride each decision taken by the Prime Minister or demean nation's achievements on the global stage. The approval rating should drive some sense in the opponents to find a better narrative as political rivals.
