The Bihar elections have become a critical test for the saffron party\u2019s survival. The report states that despite ruling 15 states, BJP\u2019s public support is rapidly eroding as Modi\u2019s grip on power weakens.<\/p>\n<p>The report alleges that the Modi government has turned the Enforcement Directorate, CBI, and Income Tax Department into political tools, using these agencies to suppress opponents and topple elected governments. The controversial removal of the Chief Justice of India from the Election Commission\u2019s appointment committee further undermines institutional autonomy. Unlike the Congress era, Modi has failed to establish a truly independent BJP system.<\/p>\n<p>Public discontent is rising amid economic failures, social polarization, unemployment, inflation, and diplomatic setbacks. Modi loyalists occupy senior Election Commission posts, weakening its constitutional independence. Legislative changes replaced the Chief Justice with a government minister in the appointment process, eroding the Election Commission\u2019s autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>The Wire report warns that public confidence in free and fair elections has been shaken after the Chief Justice was removed from the election panel. Despite Modi\u2019s aggressive social media campaigns, Rahul Gandhi has resurfaced with renewed vigor. Gandhi\u2019s exposes of electoral irregularities and his \u201cBharat Jodo Yatra\u201d have mobilized public support, challenging BJP\u2019s strongholds.<\/p>\n<p>The report predicts that a defeat in Bihar would signal the beginning of the Modi government\u2019s downfall. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, BJP lost over 60 seats. Modi\u2019s slogan of \u201cMake India Great Again\u201d has faltered, coinciding with a noticeable drop in India\u2019s global influence. The Modi government\u2019s foreign policy has been unsuccessful, straining ties with China, the US, and neighboring countries.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the failure of Modi model has laid bare India\u2019s worsening inflation, unemployment, and social divisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: The political dominance of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah is showing signs of decline, with steep fissures surfacing within the Hindu extremist BJP.
