Rahul Gandhi Is Turning the BJP’s Own Pappu Strategy Against Modi
Rahul Gandhi Is Turning the BJP’s Own
Pappu Strategy Against Modi
On September 19, Rahul Gandhi
held a rally in Indore to raise issues facing students and expose this
government's failures. Rahul has figured out that the best way to undermine
Modi is to humiliate him in public, the very technique the BJP used through its
IT Cell by branding Rahul a “Pappu.” Rahul, on the other hand, is questioning
what makes Modi qualified for the position of Prime Minister while accusing his
government of robbing India and Indians of their wealth and dignity. This is a
masterstroke of a technique many political parties use, and Rahul is using it
effectively.
Rahul is using Modi’s own way of
speaking, his interactions with world leaders, and his statements about his
education to question his leadership. Modi makes it sound as though it is
perfectly acceptable not to go through the formal schooling system, which makes
Rahul’s appeal to students even more effective. The government’s failure to
create jobs, prevent examination paper leaks, and address the prominence of
politically connected family members in highly visible positions makes it
easier for Rahul to connect his message with the masses.
I believe Modi worries that if he
loses power, the party that comes to power may not be kind to him or his
friends. “As you sow, so shall you reap” is a phrase we all know well, and now
karma appears to be standing right in front of Modi, making him sweat. Even BJP
supporters seem unable to come up with attacks against the opposition that
stick, while the punches the opposition is throwing are landing directly on
Modi and Shah.
The horrifying stories of
students being told at these rallies are reaching millions through Instagram
and other social media platforms. These are not merely political speeches
anymore. They are stories of young Indians struggling with paper leaks, unemployment,
and a government they believe has failed them. And as these stories spread,
more people are connecting the students’ experiences with the questions Rahul
Gandhi is raising about Modi’s leadership.
