Rahul Gandhi’s decision to contest from Rae Bareli is bereft of political logic unless he is unsure about Wayanad results. Abandoning Amethi betrays escapism and undermines Congress and INDIA bloc’s challenge to BJP. A leader so risk-averse will have a hard time mounting and leading a challenge to PM Modi.
Asim Munir’s anti-India remark isn’t surprising. It’s Pakistan’s existential requirement
Pakistan Army Chief has called India an “arch-rival” and offered support to Kashmir even as their politicians pitch for peace. But this should not surprise anyone. It’s their trademark doublespeak. No matter what politicians say, it is the notorious military that decides the fate. Knee-jerk anti-Indiaism is Pakistan’s existential requirement.
Had Mr Rahul Gandhi been 100% confident of winning from Wayanad, would he have contested even from Rae Bareilly.
