The Four Attempts on Narendra Modi’s Life

The Four Attempts on Narendra Modi’s Life by author duo Binay Kumar Singh and Prashant Pandey takes a fact-based look at specific instances where anti-India forces sought not only politically but also physically, to eliminate Narendra Modi right since his days as Gujarat Chief Minister. Diving into the details of four cases—2004 Ishrat Jahan encounter case, 2008 Ahmedabad serial blasts, 2013 Patna Rally bombings and 2023 Bhima Koregaon case—the authors, based on court judgements and chargesheet documents, and other substantial evidence, expose the double game played by the forces opposed to him, and, indeed, Bharat.

However, their sympathisers portrayed the incident differently: An ‘innocent girl’ killed by the police (Ishrat Jahan); bombings in rally were only to benefit Modi and the BJP (Patna bombings); the ‘Rajiv-Gandhi-like-incident’ was merely a case of thinking aloud.…
