Congress Leader Nana Patole Compares Modi’s Foreign Policy to Children Playing Video Games

Congress leader Nana Patole criticized Narendra Modi’s foreign policy on Thursday, comparing it to a computer game where there’s plenty of noise and publicity but a lack of real achievements over the past 11 years.

“During the past 11 years, Modi’s approach has revolved around superficial gestures—traveling to nearly 100 countries, giving hugs, taking selfies, and making speeches. Yet, what has been the outcome? In times of conflict between India and Pakistan, no nation has openly backed India—not in the United Nations, global media, or diplomatic circles,” Patole asserted.

Patole highlighted that “Operation Sindoor” showcased the bravery of the Indian Army, noting the quick destruction of terror bases and Pakistani military airbases. However, he expressed discontent with the BJP, accusing them of using this valour for political gain while questioning the sudden ceasefire. “Why was there a ceasefire when our forces were advancing? Modi has yet to answer this query. Meanwhile, President Trump publicly stated he intervened to halt conflict by pressuring both sides,” Patole added.

“If the Modi government initiated the ceasefire, why is Trump receiving credit for it? Conversely, if it was due to Trump’s influence, what happened to India’s independent foreign policy? The Prime Minister must clarify this,” Patole continued.

“Modi’s diplomatic approach, characterized by hugs with foreign leaders, has resulted in nothing tangible for the country. It’s evident now. The Prime Minister owes the nation an explanation regarding the reasons for the ceasefire,” he stated.

Patole maintained that while BJP members hurl abuses at them, he only seeks an answer to why Modi seems to have capitulated to American pressures.

He further questioned Modi’s silence on the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 Indian lives, asking, “Why hasn’t the Prime Minister addressed the attack? Our sisters lost their lives, yet the perpetrators remain at large.”

In response, Maharashtra BJP President Chandrashekhar Bawankule condemned Patole’s remarks as disrespectful to the armed forces and indicative of irresponsible politics.

Bawankule tweeted that Patole’s comments undermine the courage of Indian soldiers and embolden adversaries, asserting, “Congress’s alliance with Pakistan is once again underscored.”
