Hold Back !! if you were politically active even in starting of 2014, you’ll agree that the allegations over MODI have not changed to what they were back then.
They are still the same and hitherto does not shamble his image (over which BJP surfs their boat).
SIMPLE.
Opposition should hit where it hurts the most, cry over Pegasus, but the common man has this belief that MODI will never sell the nation (while BJP in 2014 successfully tarnished the image of UPA for doing so) for his own self.
The political consolidation in India has taken an ugly turn because of this very purpose.
Indians (common voter) are suo-moto in belief that whatever may come ahead, the BRAND MODI is dedicated to the nation and has no other ambitions.
Meanwhile, when you go back to the times of 2012-14, things swinging around Jan Lok Pal and corruption made common man sure that UPA works for a group of people and the bourgeoisie class is re-emerging whose shambles were broken only some 70 years back.
7 years and loading, the IMAGE of Modi is the exact same and his Karizma does not go any down but raises each time there are allegations on him which have been carried out since he was elected as the BJP PM candidate.
The more opposition abuses (not literal) MODI, the more staunchest his supporters become.
There is a truth that liberal politics pertaining to west is always talked about on TV shows, channels, etc., but right wing also works from the word of mouth.
BJP and its campaign promoters have always been in houses who were always in support of removing Art 370, giving a befitting reply to Pakistan, being hard on certain ways, Ram Mandir, etc., etc.
Conclusively, MODI is a demagogue, but he is too charismatic to be compared with any of the totalitarians ever existed, and had certainly done some work on ground.
He has never lost an election, which is a proof to this theory. GUJRAT and now INDIA, he is one man show whatsoever.
He has done mistakes, some very brutal, but his political corretedness and witty replies have always hit the common man more than opposition.
Its either of his age, or a mistake which seems unlikely that would loose him the seat he is currently sitting on.
To break him, you need to break the Brand, a brand which has no bad records on his own name (on papers at-least).
His opposition needs a Charismatic leader who hits people more than he does or certainly a person who can be a REAL TOTALITARIAN

I live in a country where saying anything against religion in bad deeds is a crime but casteism in the same is an act of being progressive.
I'm an Indian for whom being Indian is the religion itself, being Hindu (since I am one) comes second. (1/n)
Lower caste and Upper caste was taught to me by system and the way it works, have been shared the same food with all my friends be it muslim, Christian, Sikh and the ones from lower varnas (we don't even consider that), this is my nations biggest strength. (2/n)
Now who is the real defaulters ?
We the people of this country who are crocked in the shackles of dirty politics and being in support of what we don't introspect. (3/n)

2015 - Shantakumar Committee says only 6% farmers get MSP benefits.
2016 - NITI ayog says in 2016 that 81% farmers don't even know what MSP is.
(1/n)
Punjab & Haryana govt combined earning from APMC taxes @ 8% is nearly 2600 crore (1750 crore Punjab).

The new Farm bills cuts out APMC taxes and thereby making farmers to sell without paying mandi tax. This is a direct hit on state treasury.
(2/n)
APMC is how it is, MSP is how it is.
The new farm bills just give and option 2.0 to the farmers.

Chinese counterpart to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh asks a personal 1v1 meeting during the SCO summit in Moscow. This comes as a very defensive move from Bejiing's perspective, seen their moves and motives since the start of Indo-China skirmish especially after June 15 clashes.
Possyile reasons which can be derived from this moves comes from the light of,
1. Threat of India carrying on their anti-China sentiment and henceforth continuing the actions against chinese interests and trade. (RIC, RCEP, BRICS...)
2. Stance shown by the Indian Army last week and so time at the KALATOP area. This might have caught the PLA to surprise as India has not been so progressive during the whole of LAC crisis.

After 22 years of long overhaul time, Indian Air Force is finally going to introduce new ’Fighter/Comabt Jets/Aircraft’ in their fleets with, Sukhoi 30 being introduced back in 1998 from Russia.
Although 5 such aircrafts make no substantial change, confidence does go up. 🇮🇳
Personally, very happy to see new inducted warfare jets of 4.5 generation from Dasault in form of Rafael which were due from so long, with many controversies registered in thier name.
The arrival has been such a ‘decorated movie’ from the day it has taken off from France.
The take off, arrival at UAE and the mid fueling of the aircrafts and the very arrival has been very much already spoken and many minitsers including Prime Minister and very soon Raksha Mantri outspeaking ‘THREATS’ to the noisy neighbours about their encroachments on Indian land.

Finger 8 is where China claimed its territory in 1960, when there were talks between Indian PM Jawahar Lal Nehru and his Chinese counterpart Premier Zhou Enlai.
Today, the claims surpass the previous agreements and come upto Finger 4, nearly 8 KM further westwards in ‘INDIA’. Image
In the commander level talks followed, after the June 15 clash between IA & PLA at Galwan River valley, there is a term ‘mutual disengagement’ which is coming out, whereby, both the sides have dropped back, creating a ‘buffer zone’ in previously what was Indian Territory.
Although, reports suggest that, after certain level of disengagement is achieved, India Army shall resume their patrolling at what was, status quo ante post the clashes which started earlier this year.

India-US near to a limited trade ‘Package’ which can be followed by bilateral FTA later but sooner than Presidential elections in the USA. There was a mutual consensus reached (reportedly) between C&I minister of India and Secretary of Commerce for USA.
The trade agreement is a long pending element between the ever high relationship between the two democracies as the leaders of the time giggle among themselves more than Manmohan Singh and Bush previosuly.
The last efforts were made when Donald Trump visited India under the banner of ‘Namastey Trump’ although no agreement could have reached citing the trade deficit USA has with India. Trump was anyway able fo clinch USD 3bn defence equipment deal while he took her AF1 back to US.
