‘Compromised PM’ no longer capable of running country: Rahul slams Modi

In India on 11 May 2026, Rahul Gandhi criticised Prime Minister Modi. He called Modi a 'compromised PM' no longer capable of running the country, and described Modi's nine appeals, including not buying gold for a year and working from home, as 'proof of failure'. Modi had warned that the Iran war poses great risks to India and urged citizens to reduce fuel use.

Bloomberg wrote that Modi is paving the way to keep power well beyond 2030. Other Indian political news included the Congress party's delay in choosing a Kerala chief minister, which drew an IUML warning, and Congress and Left parties rejecting Mamata Banerjee's call for an alliance against the BJP.
