Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on previous Congress administrations, accusing them of adopting a soft approach towards Pakistan’s terrorism. Addressing a rally in Palamu, Jharkhand, PM Modi claimed that past governments sent “love letters” to Pakistan, hoping for peace, but instead received more terrorists in response. He asserted that the current era demands a strong government, not the leadership of Congress scion Rahul Gandhi, allegedly favored by Pakistani leaders.
PM Modi emphasized the transformation in India’s stance towards terrorism, asserting that the nation now responds with strength rather than diplomatic overtures. He highlighted the success of surgical strikes and the Balakot airstrike, which he claimed rattled Pakistan and prompted it to seek international assistance.
In a retaliatory move, former Pakistan minister Fawad Chaudhry praised Rahul Gandhi for his “socialist ideology,” fueling further political debate.
Priyanka Gandhi Counters Narendra Modi’s Narrative
In a separate rally in Banaskatha, Gujarat, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi hit back at PM Modi, portraying him as an “emperor” insulated from the plight of farmers and women. She contrasted Modi’s perceived distance from the masses with her brother Rahul Gandhi’s grassroots engagement, highlighting his extensive interactions with the public during his political campaigns.
Priyanka Gandhi accused PM Modi of surrounding himself with sycophants and stifling dissenting voices, painting a picture of a leader shielded from criticism by his inner circle. She underscored the need for leaders who empathize with the common people, suggesting a disconnect between Modi’s privileged status and the realities faced by ordinary citizens.
The political sparring between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the opposition Congress continues to intensify as India’s general elections draw nearer, with both sides vying to sway public opinion in their favor.
