The ABC report claimed that the Sikh diaspora and their families in India have been «coerced» by Indian authorities and that the Australian government while expanding ties with India is worried about «Indian spies» on its soil. The ABC report also refers to the Hardeep Singh Nijjar case and the Canadian government's accusation against India. «As the federal government embraces Narendra Modi and his administration as an important partner, the long arm of the Indian state is reaching Australia, silencing critics and threatening members of the diaspora… In 2020, India-Australia relations seemed better than ever.

I have to tell these people, if someone is deliberately targeting Ajit Pawar, then we would also have to think about taking a different stand,» warned Amol Mitkari, an NCP leader. Mitkari was reacting to claims that BJP MLAs in a review meeting have blamed BJP joining hands with Ajit for the party's election performance. Other NCP leaders blamed BJP's leaders' utterances for the party's dismal show in the state. «What has happened with the Sangh is their own issue. There has been no loss (to BJP) because of Ajit Pawar. Instead the anger against BJP might have hurt us… BJP leaders kept talking about '400 paar' and about the constitution being changed… There is a large group of backward and OBC communities that follow Ajit Pawar and we tried our best to remedy the situation but BJP has some leaders who talk as they feel like and that's why we suffered this loss,» said Rupali Patil, NCP leader from Pune.
