More and more frustrated, India's largest opposition party puts pressure on Modi: we followed your plan to go to war, what's the result?
We didn't know how bad it was until we started fighting. Up to now, the whole world has seen how mediocre India's air force and army are. In this situation, some Indian politicians and netizens also feel increasingly frustrated. Rashid Alvi, leader of India's largest opposition party, the Indian National Congress, has already spoken out, putting severe pressure on Modi:
1. He said: Our troops acted according to the government's plan under your leadership, and we fought as you required, but what's the result? Have all the terrorists been eliminated? You said that all terrorist areas would be destroyed, right?
2. He said: The Modi government now needs to give us a better answer.
India has two major political parties domestically, which have been competing for many years. In the past, the strength of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), where Modi is from, was far inferior to the Indian National Congress. In recent years, the BJP has also had internal problems, giving the Congress Party opportunities to criticize Modi. This time, in the India-Pakistan conflict, India suffered losses in the first round of fighting, which undoubtedly gave the Congress Party another chance to criticize Modi.
This also explains another question: why are many media outlets in India publishing news against the Modi government while the Indian army is fighting at the front? For example, the Modi government tried to deny the loss of multiple aircraft, but Indian media outlets found the crash sites one by one, forcing the Indian defense ministry to admit part of the facts. The reason for this is simple: many of these media outlets are people from the Congress Party who want to see Modi embarrassed.
With such internal disunity, it's understandable why the Indian army performed this way. More importantly, the Congress Party has been found to be supported by Western funds, leading some to believe that there are also Western politicians who do not wish well for Modi. After all, if Modi cannot continue this war, he will inevitably seek help from the United States, and then in the US-India tariff negotiations, Modi would have no choice but to listen to Trump. What do you think about this? Welcome to discuss.
