India’s current government is led by the Bharatiya Janta Party or the BJP. It is also the country’s largest national party. It was formed in 1980, though its origins lie in the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, which was founded in 1951. The Jana Sangh was closely associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist organization that continues to play a significant role in shaping the BJP’s ideology.
The party first came to power at the center in 1996, but its government lasted only 13 days. It returned to power in 1998, forming a coalition under the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), with Atal Bihari Vajpayee as Prime Minister. His tenure saw India conducting nuclear tests in 1998, economic reforms, and a focus on infrastructure development. However, the BJP lost power in 2004 to the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA).
The BJP made a historic comeback in 2014 by securing 282 seats out of 543 in the Lok Sabha, with Narendra Modi as India’s prime minister. Major policy changes include the revocation of Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) 2019, and the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019 that criminalized triple talaq in India.
The government’s handling of several protests and crises has faced widespread scrutiny. The 2020–2021 farmer protests, which were sparked by the controversial farm laws that were later repealed, drew significant public attention, with criticism directed at the use of force and the management of the situation. Similarly, the government’s response to the 2019 Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests raised concerns over its handling of dissent, particularly the use of force. The BJP’s management of the COVID-19 pandemic also attracted criticism, especially regarding the lack of transparency around the death toll, shortages of medical resources like oxygen cylinders, and inadequate preparedness during the second wave.
Additionally, the ongoing inter-tribe conflict in Manipur, which erupted in 2023, has faced criticism for the government’s perceived failure to take adequate action, with accusations of poor crisis management and insufficient intervention in addressing the escalating violence.
The speed with which he is doing, he will be able to do the work by the year 2029
ThePrint is becoming Modi’s mouthpiece at a time when people all over India are getting fed up of Modi-Amit Shah-Praful Goyal combo. Why lionize a party which is doubtful to get triple digit seats in next Parliament given its serious debacles in all the recent bypolls, and constantly declining opinion poll numbers.
All congresses and other parties want RaGa as PM to do whatever they want to do after that and no body will be there to ask them anything.
Congress in general & RaGa in particular, are digging their own grave by constantly criticising Modi for no valid reasons. Modi has been doing his best despite adverse political climate created by notorious Congress and others. People see the nefarious design and will give befitting reply to Congress & co. Wait and watch.
Here issue is modi relationship with gujarathi business group
No one asking why anil AMBANI
Why not HAL
NO JOURNALIST have courage for that
Above all people mentioned about Rahul ghandhi
Here the real issue is not Rahul
Killing of public sector for private business group
You don’t defeat Just by shouting against him. You need to offer what you got.
With Rahul at helm Congress all strategies are doomed to be squib.
Soon Rafale will be out of focus and without even single litigation, even Slogan against him will slide into swamp.
Modi is serving the country. CONGRESS ruled the country barring Shri Lal Bahadur Shastry. People know the Lutyens too well now and such articles are only pass time and will not have any effect on the Popular PM Modi
Congress should highlight the economic failures and the hardships caused to the poor during Modi regime and the absence of any remorse in modi. It should highlight the corruption among the leaders of the ruling party and the suspicious dealings of his close associates. His inability to check his own ministers like Giriraj and Sakshi, members like Raja Singh shows his weakness. Doklam setback and Trump’ snub are a big embarrassment to the Indian pride and honour. Even Nepal and Maldives are moving away. Modi’s public false and unsubstantiated statements on Pak conspiracy without any follow up action should not be left.
He should put in serious day to day effort to highlight the plight of the Indian farmers who are on the brink of collapse
Y is the sicular media hellbent on removing Modi to make Rahul the PM. I agree PM has failed on some issues but u must understand 1 term is not enough to fix all problems.
This pappu, the Indian version of Don Quixote surrounded by Sancho’s can not impact the public perception. Even people who have some leftover sympathy towards Congress due to their old sentiments, will not believe this jester.
Now RERA is applicable for all builders and instead of plinth area, super built up area and built up area, carpet area has come into effect which is beneficial for buyers. Earlier in 1970s this carpet area concept was there but slowly and steadily it vanished and government under congress given green signal and nod by accepting money. This practice is done away with by Modi. What Congress has to say. Let congress say that, no farmers’ death or riots or linching or killing or looting or communal clashes happened during their regime. Did they solve starvation death, unemployment problem SC/ST harassment Dalit atrocities etc. Answer them. Perform first and power next.
It is not that INC has none who could speak logic and substance. But RaGa himself doesn’t allow anyone on the mike. The result is obvious. All his speeches get not only monotonus, superficial and hollow enough to be taken seriously even by the commoners, not to speak of senior members of think tanks of the country, including his own. Modi, on the face of this so called ‘well-thought-out’ stategy, may not grab the volumous support as in 2014, there is no danger for Modi. And last but not the least, RaGa may sing some more Raagas that may pave the way to the “V” of Modi. Let us watch.
The Congress is trying to copy Modi and BJP by false charges while BJP was able to paint Congress and UOA as corrupt party.The fact that there were no worthwhile corruption charge Rahul brought in Rafele purchase which backfired.Their only charge against the ruling party is that the promised 15 lacs to each has not materialised.However this is an election speech.In every election each party promised roti kapda Maka which is seldom delivered by all the parties.The most essential thing to judge is to compare the performance of both ruling and oppposion parties.When during the earlier year of the govts proposal onreforms were brought in the Congress cried that they are policies of Congress but in new name
In politics you needn’t talk sense be as much of a FEKU you can and that is enough.
Leave congress or Rahul whatever they say or think about Modi. Based on the observation about Modi other than hindus heart Modi has not achieved what he has projected himself about. Take Vikas purusha what is development India has made during this last four and half years. There is no employment, small and medium scale industries has been totally neglected as well as they were made to closed. Regarding corruption he is silent about Rafael deal above all he belongs to backward class but his actions are totally against backward class and dalits. It seems that he had a hidden agenda to do away with reservation. Whenever if a court case is filed against reservation his government does take it seriously and argue in the so that the judgment will be delivered against reservation and he would wash his hands shifting the blame on Court
What do u want otherwise, negate SC ruling. For the past 70 years reservation is there and people who got more and more still keep getting more yet again. Instead give reservation based on economic backwardness. So all will be covered. What is the condition of the country now. Lot have happened on economic front and employment. A good package for farmers, public transportation comforts, infrastructure. Except roads built by central agencies are in shambles. Why funds are eaten away. All sorts of lies and canards are spread against Modi. We have given him only four years. Give him 10 or 15 years, then see the results. Country is mainly ruled by congress, what have they done. They thought that they can survive with minority votes especially Muslim votes and made them vote bank by giving all sorts of soaps, including 1.3 lace haj subsidy per person. In its place Mody has given 1 lac scholarship for researchers. Given all sorts of help to girls, triple talak ban, punishment to rapers, make in India program. What Rafael, where is the evidence. Let congress go to court if they have evidence. Anyone can say anything without evidence. What hugging and winking in Parliament. Made Parliament a kiss of love affair.
Naturally. Why do you want reservation? That also caste based! For two generations, these so called backward castes have been enjoying privileges. Either they have not raised their level foe the benefits given to them where they can sustain or they are greedy to get reservations continuously at the cost of others. That must stop. It will stop. It has to stop. If modi is into that job, he is doing good for the nation. Reservation must be on economic condition of the entire household basis. Casteism must be eliminated from our country altogether
Futile attempt will fail miserably. Modi has god gifted qualities that can alone combat the entire congress.
Your article just seems a wish list of the Congress Party,,to win they should put up an alternate view the liberal media had predicted a majority for Congress ,in Karnataka, what happened!!
It has been a clever strategy to chip away at the veneer covering Modi . After all, India has never seen”dins” any better than ones India had between 2004-2014.
It will be more fruitful to focus on real issues, how far the Report Card is filled with achievements that have improved the lives of ordinary Indians.
You are centpercent correct the guy has no grey matter
The only coherent sentence I have heard Rahul say is when he called Hillary a status quoist. Otherwise I have never seen him talk sense. I sincerely doubt whether he has any grey matter.
