Modi Govt Fears Truth and Non Violence: Rahul on Ken Betwa Protest Crackdown Rahul Gandhi's sharp criticism of the Narendra Modi government's handling of tribal protests in Madhya Pradesh has left little doubt about its priorities: suppress dissent, silence truth, and ignore the rights of India's indigenous people.

The Ken Betwa river linking project, touted as a flagship scheme to bring development to drought prone Bundelkhand, has become a symbol of the government's contempt for tribal rights and environmental concerns.
