PM Modi’s escalating attack on Rahul Gandhi: Political confidence or a strategy to contain the Opposition?

Shahid K Abbas
New Delhi, Oct 23 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s increasingly combative attacks on the Congress and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, have sharpened the political confrontation between the BJP and the principal Opposition party, raising questions about the strategy behind the escalation. Whether the offensive reflects confidence in the BJP’s political position, a calculated attempt to undermine Rahul Gandhi’s leadership, or a response to mounting challenges from the Opposition remains open to interpretation.
But the timing, the increasingly personal language and the approach of a crucial round of Assembly elections in 2027 make the confrontation politically significant.
