印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪最具影响力的盟友之一表达了担忧，认为印度强劲的经济增长并未给年轻人提供足够的机会，同时表示总理最有能力解决这一问题。
One of Narendra Modi’s most influential allies expressed concern that India’s strong economic growth isn’t giving young people enough opportunities, while saying the prime minister is best placed to address the problem.
安得拉邦首席部长N·钱德拉巴布·纳伊杜周三在维沙卡帕特南接受彭博新闻社采访时表示，印度的经济增长显而易见，但不足以满足民众日益增长的期望。当被问及约7%的增长率是否转化为民众生活的改善时，他说：“看得见，但不够。”纳伊杜说：“我们正在尽最大努力，但他们的期望更高。”他补充称，印度政府需要加强沟通、更加努力地工作以满足这些期望。他说，印度需要更快的增长、更好的教育以及为年轻人提供更多机会。
India’s economic growth is evident on the ground, but not enough to meet people’s rising expectations, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said in an interview with Bloomberg News in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday. Asked whether growth of around 7% was translating into improvements in people’s lives, he said: “It is visible, but not enough.”“We are doing our best, but their aspirations are more,” Naidu said, adding that Indian government need to communicate better and work harder to meet those expectations. He said India requires faster growth, better education and more opportunities for young people.
纳伊杜的言论发表之际，历时数月的青年主导抗议活动已让莫迪政府承受持续压力，而一场有争议的选民名册复核工作又给反对派带来了新的势头和难得的团结机会。这场动荡增加了莫迪政府面临的政治压力，尽管政府目前仍保持稳定。
Naidu’s comments come after months of youth-led protests have put Modi’s government under sustained pressure, while a contentious review of voter rolls has given the opposition fresh momentum and a rare opportunity to unite. The unrest has added to political pressure on Modi’s government, though it remains stable.
他说，要满足人们对更好工作、更高收入和更高生活水平的期望，政府需要重新思考如何应对一个更年轻、要求更高的人口。奈杜表示，政府需要改变工作方式，以跟上不断上升的期望，同时认为莫迪最有能力兑现承诺。“如果他做不到这一点，没人能做到。”奈杜对莫迪的维护至关重要，因为他的泰卢固国家党在议会拥有16名议员，为印度人民党领导的联盟提供关键支持，这使他成为总理最有影响力的盟友之一。
He said meeting the expectations for better jobs, higher incomes and improved living standards would require the government to rethink how it responds to a younger and more demanding population. Naidu said the government needed to change the way it works to keep pace with rising expectations, while arguing that Modi was best placed to deliver. “If he cannot deliver this, nobody can.”Naidu’s defense of Modi is key because his Telugu Desam Party’s 16 lawmakers provide crucial support to the Bharatiya Janata Party-led coalition in Parliament, making him one of the prime minister’s most influential allies.
他驳回了抗议活动对莫迪构成挫折的说法，称总理继续享有年轻人的信任，而青年的不满是世界各国政府面临的共同挑战。
He dismissed suggestions that the protests were a setback for Modi, saying the prime minister continued to enjoy the confidence of young people and that dissatisfaction among the youth was a challenge facing governments around the world.
由讽刺性命名的“蟑螂人民党”领导的年轻抗议者在10月重返德里街头，此前他们曾因考试舞弊和试卷泄露举行示威。这一次，他们加入了由反对党发起的针对选民名册复核的抗议活动，反对党指控数百万合法选民被排除在草案名单之外。
Young protesters in Delhi, led by the satirically named Cockroach Janta Party, returned to the streets in October after earlier demonstrations over exam irregularities and paper leaks. This time, they joined protests over the voter-roll review spearheaded by the opposition parties alleging millions of legitimate voters were being excluded from draft lists.
尽管动荡不安，奈杜表示，在参与不同政治联盟数十年后，他看不到比莫迪更好的替代者。
Despite the unrest, Naidu said he saw no better alternative to Modi after decades of being part of different political coalitions.
“所有实验我都见过，”奈杜说。“所有政府，你们可以看到完全的动荡、腐败指控、缺乏信任。现在，莫迪总理是唯一一个拥有信心并享有人民信任的人。”
“I have seen all experiments,” Naidu said. “All governments, you can see total instability, corruption charges, lack in trust. Now, Prime Minister Modi is only one man who is having confidence and enjoying the trust of the people.”
