Why it matters
This reflects the intense polarization in Indian domestic politics and the ongoing rivalry between the ruling BJP and the opposition.
NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi launched a fresh attack on Rahul Gandhi and Congress, saying the opposition party is endangering India’s achievements, strengths and progress to shield the Nehru-Gandhi family from its repeated electoral “failures” and is trying to defame the country by seeking help from foreign forces.“Dimagi naxals have captured Congress so much that it has lost its ability to think. Those who used to cause destruction in forests are now determined to wreak havoc on the country through Congress,” he said, while addressing the NDTV World Summit, referring to hardcore Left elements accused of being sympathetic to Maoists and now vocal in protests against EC and govt.“Congress makes more failed attempts to launch its neta (Rahul) than the launches from Sriharikota (Isro satellite launch site) in a year,” he said.“No one knows how long Congress will stake the country’s future to launch its failed product,” he added.
