One of India’s most highly regarded political analyst and commentator says that three recent events have made Prime Minister Modi seem “weak” and “vulnerable”. Prof. Suhas Palshikar was referring to the Prime Minister’s and the BJP’s failure “to roundly respond to the tenacity and outcome of the (Bharat Jodo) Yatra”, the blocking of the BBC documentary and the income tax raids on BBC offices and what he called the “eloquent silence” of Mr. Modi and the government over the Hindenburg report. Speaking specifically about the third, Prof. Palshikar said by refusing to allow the matter to be discussed in Parliament and, “hiding behind the presiding officers … the Prime Minister has for the first time … (been) seen as vulnerable”. He further explained that the PM now looks vulnerable to both doubts and criticisms. He also said that this could in time also develop into “vulnerability in the Party”.
