Modi Battles Two Fronts:Trump’s Tariffs, Rahul’s ‘Vote Chori’ | Straight Talk |
K. B. Jandial

He is grappling with geopolitical headwinds—punitive U.S. tariffs to safeguarding India’s global image and economic resilience; and fast catching up narrative of electoral irregularities which Rahul Gandhi calls “Vote Chori,” hitting the credibility of Election Commission of India (ECI).
Trump’s Ceasefire Claim
The much-publicised ‘chemistry’ between Modi and Trump during the “Howdy Modi” era took a sharp nosedive after May 10, 2025, when Trump prematurely announced a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, projecting himself as the peacemaker who prevente... |

By Aditya Rangroo
The success of India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ launched on 6-7 May against terrorist camps based in Pakistan and POJK, has demonstrated India’s defence prowess. It speaks of her competence and determination to fight terrorism abetted by her Western neighbour since 1990s. Action against the entrenched terrorists and their camps in Pakistan and POJK was necessitated this time by yet another act of barbarism on April 22, in which the terrorists took the lives of 26 tourists at the Baisaran picnic spot in Pahalgam. The Resistance Front (TRF) accepted the responsibility for the carnage.
TRF is a branch of Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-i-Tayyaba, one of the fiv... |
