NCP leaders meet Amit Shah without Sunetra Pawar and son Parth, party denies internal rift
The NCP leadership alleged that certain forces were attempting to manufacture a narrative of internal differences and a lack of coordination within the party.
On November 2, 2026, Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to an open debate, accusing him of receiving "foreign help" to become Prime Minister and maintain his position. This came after Modi had accused the Opposition of seeking foreign assistance to destabilize the nation.
Gandhi alleged in a post on X, "Mr. Modi, stop lying to this nation. You became PM because of foreign help. You remain PM because of foreign help. Your financial system is fully controlled and supported by foreigners. Foreign social media fully backs you." He challenged Modi to an open debate on any stage and any time, threatening to expose what he knows about him.
He also shared a screenshot of a media report regarding Modi's claim that obstructionist forces were attempting to divide the country and that social media was being used to spread rumors. Modi had stated on October 31 in Gujarat, "the Opposition has turned into an avrodh paksh (destructive force) rather than virodh paksh (opposing side)."
He accused the Opposition leader of taking trips abroad without directly naming him and said, "due to the frustration of more than a decade, these people have now come out in the open." Modi also questioned who was secretly meeting foreign entities and supporting anti-India forces.
