Modi Claims "Foreign Powers" Meddling in India's Elections | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Russia has accused the US of using the Khalistan plot, involving the alleged assassination attempt on designated terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, to interfere in India's ongoing general elections. Recently, Indian prime minister Narendra Modi also accused "some in the world" of attempting to meddle. The comments followed foreign minister S Jaishankar's assertion that western media houses consider themselves to be political players in India's elections. What explains the recent trend of countries accusing others of trying to meddle in elections? Is there any proof that western powers are trying to influence voting in India? How should India address this issue? Palki Sharma tells you.

It is not new . Ordinary citizens were smelling such interference of foreign powers in India . This was made more suspicious or thick during farmers' agitation in Delhi . The reforms had to take back due to Panjab farmers' agitation who were Canada funded . Not only this but Tikait and Co farmers too got their share for supporting the agitation . At that time many people were writing in newspapers supporting this farmers' agitation ( for example yogendra Yadav) and creating anti Modi sentiment . Can't say definitely but George Soros , China rulers , Canada , ( to some extent USA ) , Australia may all be hand in glove for removing the NaMo government . Apart from differences , NaMo is highly nationalistic , super honest fellow. Can't predict but inner voice tells that NaMo may retain the third term .
