agree on the latter but i think the BJP is genuinely embarassed by how much they didn't get Trump on side to get a Japan-style deal timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/bjp-mp...

gandhi is mostly trying to triangulate to a position where he can both look tough on Modi's record on the economic front (which is why he basically doubled-down on the dead economy thing from Trump) while also pushing for an Indian civic nationalist identity imo

Why is RaGa even there? Huge liability to the party, and last year's election was close enough that better campaigning could have swung it. Does he not have the shame to resign and leave politics to non-nepotists?
