Last night’s GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, managed to replicate this formula exactly, albeit without the second part. After most debates, it’s customary to ask who won or lost.

Even at the superficial level of spectacle, the whole thing was an absolute dud.

As the BJP gears up for the 18th Lok Sabha elections, slated for early 2024, there's speculation about whether Khalistan will become a central campaign issue for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It's worth noting that Modi secured a resounding victory in the 2019 elections for the 17th Lok Sabha, surpassing even his 2014 win. His success in 2019 was propelled by the heightened attention generated by the tragic incident where 40 CRPF personnel were killed while travelling from Jammu to Srinagar by road. Modi's perceived retaliatory airstrike on Balakot in northwest Pakistan further bolstered his image as a strong and resolute leader prepared to impart a lesson to Pakistan.

The RSS leaders nurse the view that the present electoral crisis has been created by none else but by Modi himself.
