Free of opposition.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, April 11, asserted that there is a strong government at the Centre and under 'this strong Modi government', terrorists are being hit hard at their homes."HT. When asked about PM Modi's statement, US State Person spokesperson Matthew Miller said, "US does not discuss sanctions openly." "But we do encourage both India and Pakistan to avoid escalation and find a resolution through dialogue." NDTV. A research paper by think tank Chatham House notes that, "Western governments' concerns over the direction of India's democracy have so far been secondary to those about China's one-party state. But an erosion of India's democratic credentials would have implications for how the country is perceived globally, and may prompt the West to review the nature and limits of its cooperation with India." TOI. Mr Modi came to power by winning the 2014 general elections (wikipedia) by linking the Congress Party with every corruption in India and promising a "Congress mukt Bharat" (India free of the Congress) (narendramodi.in). After being in power for 10 years his desire has morphed into an opposition-free India. So, "If opposition leaders strongly defend their political turf, they find the Enforcement Directorate at their doorstep, they are arrested and forced to resign like former Jharkhand CM (chief minister) Hemant Soren, Or face relentless ED summons, like Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal does, If an opposition party is dominant in a state, like the Trinamool Congress in Bengal, it could be denied access to central funds. If the Opposition rules through a rickety coalition, it is vulnerable to 'Operation Lotus' and is in perpetual danger of being destabilized, like in Bihar and Maharashtra, or lose an election even when they have a majority, like in the Chandigarh mayoral poll," wrote Sagarika Ghosh. To stop him from campaigning for the impending elections, "India's financial crime agency arrested Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief minister of Delhi...in connection with graft allegations relating to the city's liquor policy." Reuters. Kejriwal suffers from Type 2 diabetes and is being denied insulin injections in prison, alleged his party, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). DH. A report from the Director General (Prisons) states that Kejriwal does not need insulin according to doctors who examined him. The Hindu. A patient's requirement for insulin is not determined by examining him, but by the best control of blood sugar, absence of side effects and the ease of use by the patient. By making officials of the government and officers of central agencies complicit in the repression of opposition parties Mr Modi has ensured that there are hundreds of officials in position of power who will have to answer for their actions if Mr Modi loses the elections. Adolf Eichmann was executed by Israel (wikipedia) and Josef Mengele managed to avoid a similar fate by disguising himself and hiding in South America (wikipedia). There are many who have a stake in Mr Modi's victory so he may win. However, if there are any doubts about the authenticity of the results, Mr Modi's reception in foreign capitals may turn cold. Even icy.
