NEW DELHI (AP) — His social media accounts suggest that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is launching high-speed trains and rubbing shoulders with foreign leaders as a powerhouse on the global stage and the face of an ascendant India.

But that carefully crafted image, followed by millions, sits uncomfortably at odds with his silence on what’s come close to a civil war engulfing India’s northeastern state of Manipur.

The opposition is shit, so I don’t expect any serious threat to him.

They literally disqualify the opposition for any small thing.

BJP MLA openly threathens opposition that ED will raid them. Speaker disqualified MP for repeatedly asking to speak about Manipur.

They dont even fucking listen to the Supreme Court. The speaker still hasnt allowed RG back in even after SP aquittal.

Because the opposition makes it so easy. Still clinging to power rather than stepping aside and letting a new generation of non Gandhis take the helm. RG has been reappointed as MP. Now wait for the annual ‘I’m quitting, no we reject your quitting’ ceremony.

BJP has proved that if you remove the Gandhis from INC it will be reduced to just another BJP, a corporate slut, riding on fascism, selling the country to cronies funding their elections. People who want the Gandhis out are just asking for BJP's long wet dream to come true.

All BJP has proven is that if the opposition is not good, they will feel no pressure to change their tactics. Let's keep the gandhis for another 100 years and help BJP build the fourth reich in India.

Thats what they do, blame every thing bad to Gandhis.

Who is they? I'm personally blaming the gandhis because people don't want them in power anymore, but they still cling on to the party leadership. As long as they are there, inc will only help bjp become more powerful. Does the country owe anything to this family anymore? Anybody who deserved any respect have long been rolling in their graves.
