Finally, someone speaks the truth, Indian senior official: J-10CE shot down India's aircraft.
Does India also have people who understand? Recently, Swami, a veteran figure and senior official of Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party, admitted several things during an interview:
1. Pakistan indeed shot down five of India's fighter jets in the previous air combat.
2. China did not personally intervene in the India-Pakistan conflict as claimed by Indian media. China only sold fighter jets to Pakistan and did nothing else.
3. The J-10CE fighter jets provided by China to Pakistan are excellent, while French planes are not as good, which is why five were shot down.
4. "Rafale" is not enough for India, and there is corruption in India's Rafale procurement deal. However, as long as Modi is in power, there will be no investigation into the corruption issues within it.
Swami is already 86 years old and holds a Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University. He has considerable influence within the Bharatiya Janata Party. His sudden public admission tears apart Modi's carefully constructed "narrative of victory," even accusing Modi of covering up corruption in the fighter jet procurement process. This is undoubtedly a significant blow to Modi and may reflect growing dissatisfaction within the Bharatiya Janata Party with Modi's autocratic rule.
Last year, when the general election took place, the BJP suffered a sharp decline in its seats in parliament. Modi had to rely on party alliances to govern, which has already weakened his authority. Now that a senior party member has publicly defected and revealed the truth of the "military defeat" to the general public, regardless of whether the public believes it or not, it will likely further undermine Modi's foundation of governance. This time, it seems that Modi will find it hard to get through this challenge.
