The BJP's problems are not because it is "wrong", but it has turned out a favourite of the people, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today. It pushed the party's political rivals to retaliate with a web of lies "through their ecosystem", he said amid countrywide protests against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Registry of Citizens or the NRC. But without naming the CAA, the Prime Minister said there was no need to engage with the Opposition. "We have been elected with more numbers... this bunch opposed us, so why do we need to pay them any heed?" he said.
