NEW DELHI - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has slammed opposition parties for demanding evidence about last week's military strike inside Pakistan, and support for him is rising, pollsters say, despite the questions about how successful it was.
"If continues this campaign on... national security, I'm afraid it is not going to stick and it's only going to help Modi," Mr Yashwant Deshmukh, the founder of polling agency C-Voter, told Reuters."Modi's is a presidential campaign, and this is going to help him." "It doesn't matter what India did or what Pakistan is doing, at least from the electoral perspective," said Mr Rahul Verma, a fellow at New Delhi-based think tank Centre for Policy Research.
'TERRORISTS OR TREES?' A top government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said last week that at least 300 suspected militants were killed in the retaliatory Indian air strike, while the president of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party , Mr Amit Shah, put the figure at more than 250. But pollsters say opposition parties may be making a mistake by questioning Mr Modi on national security when emotions are running high.
