Battle of narratives between BJP and Congress

Undeterred by legal notices served on its leaders, the Congress has decided to intensify its campaign against the Rafale fighter aircraft deal which, the party claimed, was altered to benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi's industrialist "friend" and "promote crony capitalism".

The Congress has lined up a series of events to take the issue to the people and "expose" the Narendra Modi government ahead of next year's parliamentary election.

Meanwhile, the BJP has upped its ante against Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, trying to corner him for denying the party's role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

On News Today, we examine how these competing narratives will impact the Lok Sabha polls next year.
