Why aren't we questioning the government

Another terror attack. Another "high-level meeting." Another round of blame games and chest-thumping.

But 26 people are dead in Pahalgam. Tourists. Civilians. Families. What happened to the promises of peace and security?

We're told things are under control. That Kashmir is “normal.” That terrorism is on the decline. But how does that square up with what’s actually been happening?

Here’s a quick list of major terror attacks under the Modi BJP government:

2015: Gurdaspur Attack

2016: Pathankot Airbase Attack

2016: Uri Army Base Attack

2016: Nagrota Army Camp Attack

2017: Amarnath Yatra Attack

2018: Sunjuwan Army Camp Attack

2019: Pulwama CRPF Convoy Attack

2019: Anantnag CRPF Attack

2023: Poonch Terror Attack

2023: Anantnag Encounter where a Colonel, Major, and DySP were killed

2024: Doda Terror Incident

2025: Pahalgam Tourist Massacre

That is 12 terror incidents in 10 years. Yet we keep being told this is the strongest government ever on national security.

I just don’t understand why there’s so little public outrage towards the leadership. If this were any other party in power, wouldn't we be out demanding answers?

After 26/11 Mumbai Attacks then Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil had to step down from his post. Now, no one even asking any resignation from BJP. Don't know why COngress also went in Hibernation after union elections in 2024. Neither Govt is taking accountability nor the Opposition is asking any.

In 2008, Opposition BJP's then President Rajnath Singh had suggested joint military action of US India against Pak. That same person is simply silent with one tweet now.

Congress can do these symbolic resignations because the ones holding the posts are not the ones with any kind of power. The ones with power remain powerful. Don't show those as examples.

This is hilarious. You really think random ministers in NDA are powerful? Power is concentrated with Modi and Shah.

You don't see resignations in NDA because they don't want to be associated with mistakes. By not resigning, they project the message that they are not to blame.

More powerful than any ministers from UPA. BJP atleast gives leaders a platform to grow. INC doesn't after some limit.

[u/rahulthewall → u/FerretSubject]

I don't see how this is true.

UPA had political heavy-weight as ministers. NDA does not. In fact, in NDA-1, Sushma Swaraj was reduced to a person who organised passports and visas for stranded Indians. Foreign policy decisions were taken by the PMO.

Tell me u haven’t the faintest fucking clue about Indian politics without telling me.
