Modi's Mockery Mismatch: A Symptom of a Deeper Disease?
The Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) vitriolic reaction to Prime Minister Narendra Modi being mocked by a comedian at Rahul Gandhi's event in Indore is less about the Prime Minister being ridiculed and more about the BJP's desperation to deflect attention from its own governance record.
The party's leaders, including Union ministers Kiren Rijiju and Pralhad Joshi, are projecting their own tactics onto Rahul Gandhi, ignoring the BJP's long history of using humor and ridicule to belittle its opponents.
