I don't know what sort of evidence it would take to convince you that Modi's team was illegally spying on his political opponents, but I think I'll trust the journalists on this one.[0]
> Last word on this topic: the narrative sketched in this article is "Modi bad." But the evidence is from a state run by a staunch Modi opponent
The article doesn't even mention Modi by name, so I think you're being over-protective of him. It does say:
"The Indian government plans to implement an Automated Facial Recognition System across the country"
although it doesn't provide a source for that claim. Then there's this claim:
"The police in New Delhi used facial recognition technology to identify farmer protesters who held demonstrations against the government’s contentious agricultural laws."
which suggests that these practices are already in use elsewhere (with the current Police Commissioner of Delhi being appointed by the Modi government, if I'm not mistaken).
