PM Modi News Today: PM Modi's Lakshadweep Visit Takes Political Twist | India Today News

In a recent visit to the beautiful island territory of Lakshadweep, Prime Minister Modi shared images that sparked political discussions, highlighting contrasting narratives of his visit compared to a notable one made by former PM Rajiv Gandhi in the 1980s. The photographs showcased the pristine beaches of these Arabian Sea islands and also presented Modi's venture into snorkeling, exhibiting the vibrant coral ecosystem. Modi's visit is seen by some as an attempt to spotlight these islands as potential responsibly managed tourist destinations. However, the narrative is not devoid of political undercurrents. Modi's visit parallels former Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi's controversial vacation in Lakshadweep. This vacation, covered in an India Today article by Anita Pratap in 1988, saw criticism for the alleged lavish accommodations made for Gandhi's party, including the usage of an Indian Navy vessel, INS Virat, for ferrying luxuries. This politically charged revisit unfolds contrasting narratives of the two Prime Ministers, their visits to Lakshadweep, and their different approaches to showcasing these far-flung territories to the Indian public. #Modi #RajivGandhi #Lakshadweep #IndianPolitics #INSVirat #IndiaToday #Shivaroor #5live
