After Operation Sindoor, prime minister Modi and BJP did not make any statement until buddha Purnima. There were many reasons for this. First, they wanted to confirm the ceasefire. If pakistan broke the agreement, it would not have been right to make a statement early. By waiting for seven days, they ensured that the situation was stable.
Second, BJP needed time to prepare its strategy. After the pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor, there was concern among bjp workers and leaders. Different things were being said on social media. Some leaders felt that BJP was losing the "trust of the people". This concern increased due to the silence of big leaders, like amit Shah. During this time, BJP took stock of the situation and planned to respond.
