New Delhi, India – In the aftermath of the recent India-Pakistan conflict, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rhetoric has escalated, with critics alleging he is leveraging the situation for political gain. Speaking at a rally in Bhuj, Gujarat, on May 26, Modi issued a stark warning to the people of Pakistan: “To free Pakistan of the disease of terrorism, the people of Pakistan should come forward. Their young people should come forward,” he stated, adding, “Sukh chain ki zindagi jio, roti khao. Varna meri goli to hai hi (Live a peaceful life, eat your bread, else my bullets are there).”

This statement, perceived as a direct threat, comes amidst a broader narrative from Modi that continually blames Pakistan for terrorism, despite a lack of supporting evidence from international bodies. The International Monetary Fund (IMF), Financial Action Task Force (FATF), US Administration, and European nations have notably not endorsed Modi’s terror claims against Pakistan.

Reports indicate that delegations of Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and allied politicians dispatched by Modi for a public relations exercise to garner support for his allegations have largely failed to secure meetings with real foreign government officials, with critics suggesting these trips are merely “summer excursions” at taxpayer expense.

Ironically, while Modi focuses on attacking Pakistan, attention has been drawn to the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam terror attack, which resulted in the deaths of 26 Indian civilians. Instead of apprehending the perpetrators of this domestic attack, Modi has reportedly been celebrating “Operation Sindoor” against Pakistan, despite Pakistan’s forces demonstrating dominance in the brief conflict. There has been a surprising lack of accountability from the Indian public and opposition parties regarding the Indian Army’s failure to prevent the Pahalgam attack, given the extensive security presence in the region.

Critics point to Modi’s past, notably his alleged role in the 2002 Gujarat pogrom, thoroughly documented in the 2023 BBC documentary “India: The Modi Question,” which was subsequently banned in India by the Modi regime. His current use of “vulgar language” against Pakistan is seen by some as an attempt to incite applause from an “uneducated” segment of his rally attendees. Modi has also been accused of making unsubstantiated claims, such as the killing of “hundreds of terrorists” in Pakistan during Indian strikes on May 7.

However, a deeper analysis suggests that Modi’s overt animosity towards Muslims and terror allegations against Pakistan may serve as a smokescreen. Observers argue that while this narrative is perceived by some voters and opposition parties as a key to his electoral success through the wooing of majority Hindu voters, the reality might be more insidious.

According to these critics, Modi’s victories in most State and Lok Sabha elections are primarily a result of “rampant election frauds” in collusion with the Election Commission of India (ECI). These alleged malpractices include electronic voting machine (EVM) manipulation, tampering with electoral rolls, voter intimidation, and bribery.

It is argued that this perception of Modi winning elections through religious polarization is a convenient distraction, under which he continues to perpetrate electoral malpractices. A significant portion of India’s electorate, nearly 80% of its 1 billion voters, are described as “poor and illiterate” and thus unaffected by Modi’s anti-Muslim rhetoric.

Only a “handful – a few million – Indians who use Twitter or other social media platforms” are believed to operate under the “false perception” that Modi’s anti-Muslim stance leads to his electoral victories, while in reality, it is alleged electoral fraud that secures wins for him and the BJP.

The main opposition party, Congress, despite frequently raising concerns about alleged electoral fraud by the BJP after defeats, is largely seen as ineffective. Described as an “almost extinct party” lacking “real leadership,” its “feeble voice” has little impact on Modi’s methods of securing electoral wins.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is often characterized as “perhaps the weakest opposition leader that India has seen,” and there is a perceived absence of any other opposition party capable of challenging Modi’s alleged wrongdoings.

Furthermore, India’s judiciary and bureaucracy are depicted as “corrupt and complicit,” unwilling to question Modi’s actions. Judges and bureaucrats are also reportedly “scared to take action” against Modi or his colleagues, purportedly due to Modi’s “alleged criminal past,” including the 2002 Gujarat pogrom and the “mysterious” death of Judge Brijgopal Harikishan Loya.

Modi has indicated that his “belligerent Operation Sindoor” is only “on a pause,” suggesting future attacks on Pakistan after any uninvestigated terror activity in India, which he would then blame on Pakistan without evidence, thus using the military for electoral pretexts. His aggression, however, is notably absent when it comes to China, which has “illegally occupied approximately 38,000 square kilometers of Indian territory in Ladakh,” an issue Modi reportedly “sheepishly ignores.”

Today, nearly 1.4 billion Indians are said to be suffering under the Modi regime, grappling with “unprecedented poverty, corruption, inflation, unemployment, lawlessness, and religious animosity.” Yet, there appears to be no opposition party with the courage or capacity to defeat Modi and the BJP.
