NEW DELHI (AP) — His social media accounts suggest that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is launching high-speed trains and rubbing shoulders with foreign leaders as a powerhouse on the global stage and the face of an ascendant India.

But that carefully crafted image, followed by millions, sits uncomfortably at odds with his silence on what’s come close to a civil war engulfing India’s northeastern state of Manipur.

      Anybody who follows politics even at a surface level knows both sides are in it only for themselves. I hate both parties, but I hate the ruling party even more, because they are a religious, conservative, right wing party. The opposition is not some big left wing party, but at least they don’t focus on identity politics but just work hard to line their own pockets. People who think about me like you said are too blind and want the opposition to succeed. That’s all I can say.

        You seem to be differentiating ruling and opposition parties on the basis of their ideologies like left or right. But, when talking about INC not being so left you conveniently forget the recent PR stunts of RaGa meeting to and thus getting exposed to perils of working class of country. Don’t you think it will affect the policies of upcoming govt and this govt too.
