Rahul Gandhi versus the BJP: Why does the saffron party seem nervous?

The Hindu  

Published : Mar 23, 2023 10:45 IST - 10 MINS READ In a keenly watched UK tour, which came after the eventful Bharat Jodo Yatra, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has taken on the Narendra Modi government and accused it of assaulting democratic institutions, diluting India’s federal structure, misusing agencies to stifle dissenting viewpoints, and snooping on opposition leaders—accusations that caused the Bharatiya Janata Party to fume and rush to frame his UK sojourn as a “trash India tour”. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that Gandhi had “deeply hurt India’s honour and prestige” whereas Modi decried the “constant attempts by some people to attack Indian democracy”. On March 4, Gandhi had said at an event in London that the “surprising thing is that the so-called defenders of democracy, which are the United States, the European countries, seem to just be oblivious that a huge chunk of the democratic model has come undone, which is a real problem…and it’s not just an Indian battle, it’s actually a much more important battle.” A day later, as a political storm brewed in New Delhi in the aftermath of his remarks, he was more pointed and alert during a discussion at the Chatham House think tank in London. “Even as Gandhi is only beginning to connect with global think tanks and Indian groups abroad, the BJP appears to be jittery.” These efforts were not limited to pushing Modi as the choice for India’s top job.
