Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed confidence that the BRICS Summit would feature positive and meaningful discussions on various issues, with a shared goal of global welfare.

Security arrangements in Delhi
The Times of India reported that Delhi has been placed on high alert with tight security arrangements and temporary traffic restrictions. Approximately 15,000 Delhi Police personnel, 200 companies of paramilitary forces, and over 500 CCTV cameras have been deployed.

Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Modi Confident of Positive BRICS Summit Talks?
- Of the 6 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 0% are rated left, 17% are rated centre, 83% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 13. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Modi Confident of Positive BRICS Summit Talks left or right?
- Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 6 of them do, and this site does not characterise a field under 12: at that size one newsroom filing moves the share by ten points. The percentages above are the count as it stands.
- Is the coverage of Modi Confident of Positive BRICS Summit Talks biased?
