If you thought the ongoing verbal duel between Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was enough to light up India’s politics, well think again. At the epicenter of this new maelstrom is a searing critique by Rahul Gandhi of India’s democratic health, during his well-publicised trip to Germany. Gandhi’s charge that the fundamental pillars of this country have been “captured” was met with a fierce, on-the-face counter from the BJP government, which labelled his statements as being no more than “dangerous propaganda” coming soon after Rahul Gandhi said PM’s stand will lead to loss of jobs in India and winning elections in Bangladesh.…
