Rahul Gandhi as Ravan and PM Modi as ‘Biggest Liar’: Congress, BJP engage in poster war on social media platforms

Objecting to the BJP’s official X handle sharing an image of Rahul Gandhi, in which he is depicted as a new-age Ravan, the Congress on Thursday accused the BJP of trying to incite violence against Mr. Gandhi.

Congress general secretary (organisation) K.C. Venugopal accused the BJP of trying to “murder” Mr. Gandhi while his party colleague and communication chief Jairam Ramesh called it “outright dangerous”.

“No words are enough to condemn the shameful graphic on the BJP handle comparing Sh. @RahulGandhi ji to Ravana. Their nefarious intentions are clear, they want to murder him,” Mr. Venugopal said in a post.

The Congress leader said the government first withdrew Mr. Gandhi’s SPG [special protection group] to score petty political points and haven’t allocated another house that he has requested for.

“All this points to a well-planned conspiracy of the BJP to eliminate their fiercest critic, someone who attacks the very core of their hate-filled ideology,” Mr Venugopal added.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, in a post on X, asked if the Prime Minister and BJP chief J.P. Nadda approved of the “provocative and inciteful post”.

The BJP’s poster comes a day after the Congress posted on X a picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the caption “The Biggest Liar”. Another post called Mr. Modi a “Jumla Boy,” who was “Going to hit the election rally soon”.

Hitting back, the BJP on its official handle on X shared a poster of Mr. Gandhi with several heads with the title “Bharat Khatre Mein Hai [India is in danger] – A Congress party production. Directed by George Soros”.

“The new age Ravan is here. He is Evil. Anti Dharma. Anti Ram. His aim is to destroy Bharat,” the BJP said on X.

“What is the real intent of an atrocious graphic portraying Rahul Gandhi as Ravan by the BJP’s official handle? It is clearly intended to incite and provoke violence against a Congress MP and a former President of the party, whose father and grandmother were assassinated by forces that want to divide India,” Mr. Ramesh said in a post on X.

“It is one thing for the PM to give evidence daily of being a pathological liar and of suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder. But for him to get his party to produce something this obnoxious is not just completely unacceptable, but is downright dangerous,” he added.

Senior leader Anand Sharma said, “BJP is rattled by Rahul Gandhi’s rising popularity and their own falling graph”.

PM Modi Unveils Plan for 300 Colleges to Teach Semiconductor Courses At Semicon India 2023

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Semicon India 2023 conference at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, on July 28. During the event, he expressed his vision for India to become the next semiconductor powerhouse in Asia. To achieve this goal, PM Modi emphasised the need to revamp the engineering curriculum and foster a robust semiconductor ecosystem.

As part of this initiative, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that more than 300 prominent colleges in India have been identified where specialised courses on semiconductors will be made available. This move is expected to contribute significantly to the growth and development of the semiconductor industry in the country.

“It is estimated that in the next 5 years, more than 1 lakh design engineers are going to be produced in our country. India’s growing start-up ecosystem is also going to strengthen the semiconductor sector, ” he added.

The world has relied heavily on China for semiconductors for far too long. However, with the introduction of this initiative, India aims not only to meet its own semiconductor demands but also to emerge as a potential market leader. This move is anticipated to be a momentous turning point, not just in India’s history but also in global history. It is expected to provide a substantial boost to the ‘Make in India’ programme and significantly influence the semiconductor industry worldwide.

Dr Prabu Raja, President of the Semiconductor Product Group at Applied Materials, said that driven by Prime Minister Modi’s strong vision, India is positioned to assume a pivotal role in the global semiconductor industry.

“We firmly believe that this is India’s time to shine. No company or country can overcome challenges in the sector alone. It’s time for collaborative partnerships in this sector. This new collaborative model can allow us to be catalysts in the sector,” he emphasised.

This conference, themed ‘Catalysing India’s Semiconductor Ecosystem,’ acted as a showcase for India’s semiconductor strategy and policies. The goal of this event is to make India a global centre for semiconductor design, production, and technology development.

PM Modi’s state visit truly momentous, underlines India’s rising importance: US

When Modi addresses a joint meeting of the US Congress on June 23, it will make him only the third world leader to make such an address twice.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming state visit underlines the rising importance of India in global affairs and the deepening ties between our two nations, senior US diplomat Atul Keshap said on Monday. Keshap, president of the US-India Business Council (USIBC), stressed the visit is “truly a momentous thing” since it will be only the third state visit from India to the United States.

The previous two state visits included the one for President S Radhakrishnan in June 1963 and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in November 2009.

“It is the reflection of friendship and trust between the people of the United States and people of India,” Atul Keshap said.

Modi has been invited by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden for an official state visit which would include a State Dinner on June 22. The preparation for the historic visit is expected to gain momentum this week with US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan heading to New Delhi for the second round of the iCET Dialogue with his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval.

Indian Ambassador to US Taranjit Singh Sandhu asserted that the ceremonial and substantive part of the state visit will “fully complement each other and will be unparalleled.”

“We are a week away from the historic state visit of Prime Minister Modi to the United States at the invitation of President Biden. There is great excitement on both sides. My PM is only the third Indian leader in our independent history to be accorded the honour of a state visit by the US President. He also will become the only Indian leader to address the US Congress twice,” Sandhu said.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the Biden administration sees the “defining relationship as a unique connection between the world’s oldest and largest democracies” and “the importance of the partnership in a shared commitment to address regional and global challenges.”
