india was promised a strong leader who would show “laal aankh” (red eyes) to China. But what happened in reality has left citizens betrayed, and the Opposition calling it the biggest act of surrender in recent history. Here’s why the claim of “56-inch chest” looks more like hollow bravado:
1. The Big Talk of red Eyes
Before becoming PM, he mocked earlier governments for being weak before china, promising that under him, india would show “red eyes” to any aggressor.
2. Galwan Valley Betrayal
Despite china killing 20 indian soldiers in Galwan, the government avoided naming beijing directly and downplayed the incursion—contradicting the tough image it sold to the people.
3. Land Loss in Ladakh
Thousands of sq km remain under Chinese occupation in Ladakh. Instead of reclaiming land, the government has silently accepted the status quo, projecting a false sense of normalcy.
4. The adani Shadow
Opposition parties allege that the PM’s softness on china has links to protecting certain corporate interests, particularly Adani’s business presence in sensitive regions.
5. Silence Over Arunachal & Chinese Villages
Even after china built villages inside Arunachal Pradesh, the government has neither escalated the issue forcefully nor retaliated with matching aggression.
6. From red Eyes to Folded Hands
The same leader who once shouted slogans of strength now looks helpless, shielding his image rather than defending India’s borders.
🔥 Bottom Line:
The “red eyes” promise has turned into a shameful surrender—leaving soldiers, citizens, and the nation questioning whether slogans were only meant for elections, not for action.
