'United Only To Target PM Modi': Sushmita Dev On Rahul Gandhi's Protest Politics
In an exclusive conversation with NDTV, BJP MP Sushmita Dev accuses Rahul Gandhi and the Congress of using the protests in Delhi to target Prime Minister Narendra Modi rather than defend democracy. She questions the Opposition's claims of unity, citing its response to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in West Bengal and what she calls selective outrage over the Election Commission. Dev argues that the Congress lacks a clear electoral strategy and strong grassroots organisation, and says its protests cannot substitute for winning elections on the ground. She also accuses the party of double standards over its response to sexual harassment allegations involving a Manipur MP. Is the Opposition building a credible national narrative ahead of 2029, or is it struggling to move beyond anti-Modi politics?
