The Shiv Sena (UBT) mouthpiece, Saamana, has criticized Prime Minister Modi’s recent foreign visits to Japan and China. The article questions the purpose of these trips, noting that Modi is constantly traveling abroad, and suggests that the enthusiastic welcome from Indian diaspora members in Japan and China is misleading. The publication alleges that Modi’s popularity abroad is a fabricated image, and that those celebrating him are unaware of the ground realities in India. The article alleges that Modi’s hold on power in India is tenuous, with accusations of electoral fraud and a decline in his credibility. The article also targets PM Modi’s conversation with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, questioning its effectiveness in the context of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. The publication also raises questions about the impact of the foreign policy on the Indian economy and the country’s position on the world stage, and it claims that India’s foreign policy is still struggling.
