Ishrat Jahan case will help Modi consolidate support.
CBI’s
explosive first chargesheet in the Ishrat Jahan case spells perhaps the
biggest challenge for the Modi government since the 2002 Gujarat riots.
With
the latest revelation from the chargesheet of Modi’s alleged nod to the
alleged fake encounter of 19-year student Ishrat Jahan and three others
by the Gujarat Police, in collusion with the Intelligence Bureau, the
scandal seems to have reached within sniffing distance of Modi and his
trusted aide Amit Shah.
What
does this mean for the Gujarat Chief Minister and his political
ambitions? With less than a year for the next general elections, how
does this scandal impact Modi’s acceptability as a national leader?
