Milan Vaishnav of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace talks about Narendra Modi’s opposition bloc's victory in India’s election and the political and economic challenges facing the new leader, such as the current state of investment, business, and infrastructure. He says the new government will focus on growth, but likely economic progress will be made at a much more gradual pace than voters are hoping for. Vaishnav talks with Alix Steel on Bloomberg Television's "Street Smart."
