Savitha Prakash, an NHS doctor living in the London borough of Harrow, believes there are similarities between the Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, and India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi. “He’s [Modi] one of those people, like Nigel, he walks the talk. He made [a] difference to the country,” said Prakash, who chairs Reform UK’s branch in Harrow.
In particular, the 47-year-old said Farage and Modi – who have each been accused by their critics of scapegoating marginalised communities – were focused on putting the needs of the majority first.
“There was a time before [Modi] came into power that minority appeasement was normal,” she said. “Everybody believed that if you want to be in power, you have to appease the minority. Today’s Nigel speaks the same thing [as Modi]. He speaks about looking out for the majority.”
