Story of 2 Bluffs that got called in past 60 days.
Pakistan: Remember Indian forces striking across the border in Myanmar to eliminate the terror base & personnel who’d killed Indian Security Forces in June 2015. Indian opposition wrote the operation off as something that didn’t matter and retired Pakistani generals mocked over excited news anchors (custodians of Indian Nationalism) saying Pakistan is no Myanmar - almost implying we will continue to bleed you and you can’t do a thing. Pakistan repeated its nuclear threat.
Well, बात आई गई हो गई, till Pakistani stamped terrorists hit our soldiers in URI in September 2016. Within days, we hit back in a massive multiple target operation across the line of control and eliminated a large number of Pakistani terrorists and operatives. India announced the change in doctrine by holding a press conference and telling Pakistan and the world that we will hit back, hard and announced it to the world. Well, after usual denials, Pakistan settled for ‘it was in Kashmir and not Pakistan’ ..... what Pakistan and anti Modi opposition in India didn’t understand is that India increased the cost of terror for Pakistan.
When Pakistan attacked us in Pulwama and that too at the cusp of the most important elections in the history of free India, they dared Modi who has positioned himself as a shrewd nationalist. Indian opposition parties smelt blood and prima facie supported the Govt to take necessary action against terror operatives. Pakistan and Indian opposition were in the process of strategic mocking of Modi knowing well that Myanmar and URI had set a threshold and just before elections Modi was cornered. He does something to avenge Indian lives and Pakistan will be prepared across the LoC. Days went by and mocking of 56” and resolve to make Pakistan pay became a tool in TV debates. Lower level leaders of BJP found it hard to survive the onslaught by newstraders and vultures of opposition parties.
Then at about 5 am, Pakistani Forces PR chap tweeted that Indian aircrafts had breached international air space. As usual, Pakistan - the country that has no respect for its dead or its own acts denied what Indian fighters had achieved across the international border and in the Pakistani territory. India had hit at the largest terrorist camp inside Pakistan in a daring operation that involved multiple fighters. Just like the avenge of URI, each asset returned back safely and then we proudly announced to the world that we hit them inside their space and totally demolished a large terror camp.
Among many things that happened to Modi’s opposition in India and Pakistan, “India had called Pakistani Nuclear Bluff”. India also unambiguously asserted its willingness to counter China assisted Pakistan.
It’s an act of great chivalry that went by without a glitch but even a small variation from perfection in execution, Modi’s political career was over. And considering the fact that Indian forces don’t act without executives consent, it was always going to be Modi who would’ve taken the blame in case of a slightest failure. And that why Modi must tell his voters that it was he who put his and his parties career / future on line when he okayed attacking Pakistani terror camps inside Pakistan.
Congress: Priyanka was brought in as a trump card against Modi. The prepaid newstraders of the dynasty had been projecting her as her grandmothers equivalent who would run over Modi juggernaut without much effort.
Well, 3 months since her (as formal as formal can be) entry in politics and 1 month since her party and she herself have been blowing trumpets threatening Modi to look for second seat as Priyanka would contest against Modi from Benaras and will defeat him hands down, congress has finally announced their own bluff. Modi didn’t get threaded and he didn’t choose a second safe seat either. He went a step ahead and did a bigger rally in Benaras ..... the trump card of congress turned out to be a damp squib.
2 major bluffs called in less than 60 days is massive for Modi that too during election season.
