Modi, Shah among top decision makers in 'Global Thinkers' list

November 17, 2014 21:35

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been named as the top decision maker in a list of 100 global thinkers by a leading American foreign policy magazine.

Modi is placed at the top followed by German Chancellor Angella Merkel and Bharatiya Janata Party President Amit Shah in the decision makers category of the '100 Global Thinkers' by the Foreign Policy magazine.

The magazine described 64-year-old Modi as a charismatic and business-friendly leader.

'In India's 2014 elections Modi had convinced many that his record as a charismatic, business-friendly leader made him just the person to revive India's flagging growth. His speeches drew hundreds of thousands, and he reached millions via 3-D holographic projections,' the magazine said.

On Shah, the magazine praised the 50-year-old leader for 'building a formidable campaign machine' in Uttar Pradesh, where he directed the BJP to victory in the polls.
