Protest Against EC - ஒன்று கூடிய தேசவிரோதிகள் - Nambi Natarayanan

In this special Thennavan Media interview, Nambi Narayanan, Editor of Vijaya Bharatham, an RSS-aligned publication, offers his perspective on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarkable 25-year journey in government leadership and the political challenges now confronting the Modi government. As Modi pushes ahead with a renewed emphasis on development, economic growth and Viksit Bharat, Rahul Gandhi and the INDIA alliance are intensifying their campaign over SIR and the Election Commission. Can the opposition transform SIR into a sustained nationwide political movement, or will Modi counter these challenges by keeping the focus firmly on governance and development? The conversation also examines the growing protests involving CJP and other activists, the participation of prominent voices such as Prakash Raj and Dhruv Rathee, and the demonstrations in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Are these independent protests, or are we witnessing the beginnings of a broader anti-Modi political and civil-society mobilisation? Nambi Narayanan analyses Rahul Gandhi’s evolving opposition strategy, the response from the BJP and the wider Sangh Parivar, and the difficult question of how allegations surrounding electoral institutions should be addressed. The discussion also turns to Tamil Nadu — the changing political equations, the opposition's attempts to consolidate anti-BJP forces, and what the BJP and the Sangh Parivar must do differently to expand their influence in the state. Finally, as Modi completes 25 years in government leadership, we ask the larger question: Can the opposition's “democracy under threat” narrative challenge Modi’s “development and stability” narrative on the road to 2029? A candid and wide-ranging conversation on Modi, Rahul Gandhi, SIR, RSS, BJP, INDIA alliance and the changing direction of Indian politics — on Thennavan Media.
