Overview

• Modi returned to India this morning after completing visits to Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, Brazil—where he attended the 17th BRICS Summit—and Namibia.
• Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh labelled him a “Super Premium Frequent Flier PM” and urged an immediate trip to Manipur, whose people have awaited his visit for over two years of ethnic unrest.
• Ramesh pressed the prime minister to review why terrorists behind the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which killed 26 civilians, have not yet faced justice.
• He highlighted the recent collapse of a four-decade-old bridge in Vadodara that claimed at least 13 lives and demanded central assistance for flood-ravaged communities in Himachal Pradesh.
• The opposition leader also recommended that Modi prioritise GST reform to boost mass consumption and expand private investment beyond a few favoured conglomerates.
