The coin dropped and each america and Germany had heard it loud and clear.

Congress MP Digvijaya Singh tweeted his gratitude to the German overseas ministry, and drew ire from the BJP, which doesn’t know what occurs to the Congress when anyone from the Gandhi household is focused.

However Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi confronted the brunt of the focused assaults, particularly after the 2014 takeover of India by the BJP led by Narendra Modi who has been Prime Minister of India for practically a decade.

No one calls Prime Minister Narendra Modi a dictator. Somebody who’s pleasant with peacocks can’t be “authoritarian”. But, there’s this tight knot within the chest. The person has a stranglehold on energy. His admirers name it ‘swag’. And, then he’s given darkish sun shades! Modi additionally comes with the label ‘Modi Hai Toh Mumkin Hai’.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made it his life’s ambition to uproot dynastic rule from the face of India; particularly the Gandhi household dynasty’s rule.  The Gandhi household has been on the receiving finish of Modi’s visceral hatred for dynast-run political events for a decade. Lengthy after Modi is historical past, and the Congress outlives Modi’s utility to the Bharatiya Janata Get together, historians will write how Prime Minister Narendra Modi went after the Nehru-Gandhi household, and the Congress, intent on ending each in a single fell swoop.

It’s arduous to guess which of the 2 Narendra Modi needs to eliminate extra, which of the 2 is Modi’s preeminent darkish muse? The loss of life of the 137-year-old grand outdated get together, or the top of Gandhi household rule?

And opposite to what the Modi authorities anticipated, the world powers aren’t gonna give Modi a cross as a result of he occurs to be the present Prime Minister of the following nice international financial energy. India will stay the following nice rising international financial energy regardless of who’s Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi or Rahul Gandhi; or, for that matter, any XYZ with a majority in Parliament, offered the particular person is just not “disqualified”.

That stated, the US and German response, whereas unwarranted and undoubtedly misplaced, for which they need to be reprimanded within the correct method by India’s overseas ministry, is a wakeup name for the overbearing Modi authorities. The Modi authorities, whether it is delicate to overseas criticism ought to take care it doesn’t seem and sound insensitive in its behaviour and angle towards Indian residents, and India’s establishments.

India’s G-20 presidency makes it doubly necessary for Modi to cease talking of political adversaries like they’re “termites” and enemies who needs to be fought to the loss of life. India’s electoral democracy is massive and vibrant sufficient to deal with each the BJP and Congress collectively and nonetheless have room for a few extra political events the scale of the Bharatiya Janata Get together. Prime Minister Modi ought to cease dreaming of a ‘Congress-mukt-Bharat’ and the top of the Gandhi household rule. Let the Indian citizens resolve that.
