Full state honors for Ratan Tata, one day mourning announced in Maharashtra
Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised alarm over reports suggesting the INDIA bloc's consideration of a rotational prime ministerial formula, cautioning against the potential ramifications of such a strategy. Speaking at a public rally in Madhya Pradesh's Betul, Modi criticized the opposition alliance's purported inability to nominate a prime ministerial candidate, expressing concerns over the proposed rotational leadership model.
Modi lambasted the concept of a "one-year-one-PM" formula, likening it to a perilous daydream that could spell disaster for the country. He warned against the fragmentation of leadership and emphasized the need for a stable and accountable government to safeguard the nation's interests. Additionally, Modi accused the Congress party of advocating for divisive policies, including proposals related to wealth redistribution and inheritance taxes, which he argued would undermine individual property rights and erode economic stability.
The Prime Minister's remarks come amid escalating political tensions ahead of the upcoming voting phases, with Modi questioning Congress's manifesto promises and challenging the opposition's vision for governance. As the election campaign intensifies, each party strives to assert its narrative and sway public opinion, setting the stage for a fiercely contested electoral battle.
