India Today Conclave 2019: Brian Klaas on elections and democracy

Renowned journalist Brian Klaas on Saturday spoke on how alarmingly the world is becoming less democratic at the India Today Conclave 2019 in Mumbai.

He said, "Elections are the beginning of democracy; it’s not the conclusion." He also said, "Unless you have clear honest information flowing to democracy, it cannot be a true democracy."

He further said, "There are warning signs that the Indian democracy can get washed away. The way PM Narendra Modi conducts politics, opens India to that possibility."
