Modi

• Il Primo Ministro Narendra Modi ha accusato il Congress di aver tradito il DMK, affermando durante un discorso sulla situazione politica del Tamil Nadu che il loro governo pre-2014 è 'sopravvissuto in gran parte grazie al DMK'. • Modi ha sottolineato che il Congress ha mantenuto un 'rapporto stretto' con il DMK per 25-30 anni, affidandosi all'alleanza per superare le crisi, ma li ha pugnalati 'alle spalle' per ottenere il potere quando i venti sono cambiati. • Le osservazioni evidenziano l'attuale rivalità tra BJP e Congress in vista delle elezioni, con Modi che critica la 'brama di potere' del Congress e la necessità di nuovi alleati per rimanere rilevante.

• India's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in power since 2014, has captured independent institutions like the Election Commission, judiciary, and media, leading to democratic backsliding into a hybrid regime. • After winning 240 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections—short of the 272 majority—Prime Minister Narendra Modi rapidly passed a citizenship law targeting Muslims as a key poll promise amid strong partisan support. • Legislative capture has weakened checks and balances, turning parliament into a rubber stamp through censorship, intimidation, and power centralization.

• Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won a landmark 206 out of 294 seats in West Bengal's legislative assembly, marking its first-ever electoral victory in the opposition-held state of over 100 million people. • The BJP's conquest of West Bengal, long a bastion of its political adversary, represents a significant expansion of Hindu nationalist electoral dominance across India's regional politics. • Results announced Monday were part of elections held across five states and territories in April and May, with the BJP also securing a third consecutive victory in northeastern Assam and participation in the ruling coalition in coastal Puducherry.
