Modi’s New Bihar Election Theme
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed that the perpetrators of the Red Fort blast in New Delhi “will not be spared.” He has promised that those responsible for the blast will face justice.
In his first public remarks following the explosion, Modi emphasised that the attack would not go unpunished.
Switching briefly from Hindi to English during his address, he stated, “All those responsible will be brought to justice.”
According to analysts, this is an attempt by Modi to turn the blast into an election theme in Bihar, framing it as a call to “avenge” the attack.
