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.

No parties in India elect their party presidents democratically by allowing party workers to vote.

So most people throughout the country hasn't any problem with dynastic party presidency in INC except those watching too much godi media or BJP IT cell workers. Even that dynasticism in INC has stopped now by INC becoming the first party to democratically elect the party president by allowing all party workers accross the country to vote.

What's important here is that INC respected constitution, democratic institutions and gave them more power and most importantly they were not sold outs like BJP politicians. Let's take Modi for example, this fucker was a RSS worker, turned to fascism, accepted becoming a corporate dog to keep power. He seems to be a powerful figure being Indian PM but we all know he is just a sold out bastered, a corporate dog that is hell bent on selling the country to his few crony owners who are backing him with election expenditures via electoral bonds and lending him media coverage to keep him popular among gullible masses.
