Opposition Hits Out At PM Modi Over PTI Interview, Calls It Scripted
Congress criticizes PM Modi’s PTI interview, calling it a carefully scripted and desperate public relations exercise.
The Congress party has sharply criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent interview with the Pakistan-based news agency PTI, calling it a “carefully scripted, desperate PR exercise.” The party alleged that the interview was orchestrated to manage public perception ahead of upcoming political events.
Congress leaders argued that the Prime Minister’s responses in the interview appeared rehearsed and designed to deflect pressing issues facing the country. They claimed that instead of addressing substantive concerns such as economic challenges, unemployment, and governance, the interview focused on polished messaging aimed at international audiences.
Party spokespersons also suggested that the interview reflects a broader pattern of image management by the ruling government. According to them, such media interactions are being used strategically to influence public opinion while avoiding rigorous domestic scrutiny.

The ruling BJP, however, defended the Prime Minister’s engagement with foreign media, highlighting the importance of articulating India’s positions on international platforms. Supporters argue that such interviews provide opportunities to communicate government initiatives and foster global understanding of India’s policies.
Political analysts say the Congress critique is consistent with its approach of holding the government accountable, especially ahead of elections. They note that public reactions to high-profile media appearances often become focal points in the broader political discourse, influencing narratives both domestically and internationally.
As debates over the interview continue, the incident underscores the increasingly strategic use of media by political leaders and the heightened scrutiny from opposition parties. Both supporters and critics will be watching closely for further developments in the political messaging surrounding this and future engagements.
