I won’t comment on policies etc but I think no one (both sides) can deny that he is one dramay-baaz of the highest order lol and lives for the camera.

Waving in empty tunnel with no crowds, to somehow being recorded while meditating in a small cave in the mountains to being recorded while casually petting peacocks lmaoo. I’m sure there must be many many more moments of such nautanki

I miss the days of MMS as our premier instead of this showboat! For all his faults of submissiveness and all, at least he was not a nautanki like this creature! In fact, no our other premier has been a fake like this guy, even Deve Gowda was so much better except for his legendary naps in official meetings of course!

The likes of Chandrashekhar, Gujral, Rajeev and of course, Vajpayee were so civilized and measured in their public persona!

Always like to support the underdog. maybe if everyone is praising him here, I might start mocking him.

Anyway, this is so 20th century that one has to wave at people who are physically present. He is waving at the legions of his supporters and fans (like me) who would watch him on videos. Seems Modi has accepted the new normal before millennials like you.

So bigot completes 20 divisive and incompetence filled years in public life. See how slaves falling over each other in lauding this 'milestone'.

Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri lauded Modi for "20 years in service of humanity & Maa Bharati with dedication, vision & selflessness".

"Heartiest congratulations to PM [MENTION=140582]Naren[/MENTION]dramodi Ji for becoming the only democratically elected world leader to serve the people continuously for 20 years since 2001," Puri said.

Be it as chief minister of Gujarat or as prime minister of the world's largest democracy, Modi has always been a crusader for people's welfare, the party said.

"PM Sri [MENTION=140582]Naren[/MENTION]dramodi Ji has completed 6941 successful days in total as CM of Gujarat & PM of India. One of the unblemished tenures ever seen. Kept public welfare as a priority and never worried about himself. Always kept sovereignty & pride of India intact," its spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi tweeted.

So the PM of India who has millions of supporters is an underdog? It's pretty clear you do not support underdogs otherwise you would be supporting Rahul Pappu Gandhi instead of Modi everywhere.

Vivek Oberoi starrer PM Narendra Modi, a biopic on the Prime Minister of India, will be the first film to hit the theaters after the cinema halls reopen. The film will re-release on October 15.

PM Narendra Modi traces the journey of Narendra Modi from his humble beginnings to becoming the Prime Minister of India. The film first released on May 24, 2019. Producer Ssandip Singh feels the last time the film released in the theaters, it fell prey to political agendas and not many could watch the film. He hopes this time PM Narendra Modi fares well in the theaters.

Talking about the decision to re-release the biopic, Singh said, “PM Narendra Modi has been the best Prime Minister of the country, which was proven in the 2019 elections. What can be better than watching the inspiring story of the most inspiring leader of today’s times, as theatres re-open. I’m proud to be a part of this historical moment. Moreover due to some political agendas, when it last released, the film couldn’t be watched by many. We’re hoping the film gets a fresh life in the theatres and makes for a great watch for the people of the nation.”

Directed by Omung Kumar, the film stars Vivek Anand Oberoi in the lead role along with Boman Irani, Darshan Kumaar, Manoj Joshi, Prashant Narayanan, Zarina Wahab, Barkha Bisht Sengupta, Anjan Shrivastav, Yatin Karyekar, Rajendra Gupta, and Akshat R Saluja in pivotal roles.

Expressing his excitement on the re-release of his film, Kumar shared, “It gives me great pleasure and satisfaction that the theatres are going to open again and we are re-releasing our film PM Narendra Modi. We have put in a lot of hard work in making this film and so glad that it will be released again and the people who have missed it will get a chance to see it now. We want each and everyone to see our labour of love.”

At the time of its release, The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta gave the film two stars. She wrote, “In keeping with its tone and tenor, the film is completely reverential towards its subject, projecting him as noble and sacrificial and wise beyond his years even when very young, whose love for his own ‘ba’ (Wahab) is never more than the love he has for Bharat Mata. The Opposition is shown as weak and venal (Manmohan Singh doesn’t have a single speaking moment, only keeping ‘maun’); a corrupt businessman (Narayanan) is shown to be in cahoots with a complicit journalist (Kumar) as they plot Modi’s downfall; Sonia and Rahul Gandhi and their cohorts come off as ineffective hand-wringers.”

U.P. Police arrest Bulandshahr man for tweet against Narendra Modi

A 31-year-old man has been arrested in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr district for allegedly making objectionable remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a social media post, police said on November 15.

Accused Saleem Khan was held by a Kotwali Dehat Police team after a complaint was lodged in the case by the district’s cyber cell on November 14, an official said.

“The accused had posted a video on Twitter in which he had made objectionable remarks against the Prime Minister. Several people had notified the matter to the local police regarding the objectionable content after which the action was taken,” SHO Kotwali Dehat Narendra Kumar Sharma told PTI.

He said the accused, a local resident, is educated but there was no clarity on his occupation.

Mr. Khan has been booked under relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act and the Indian Penal Code, Mr. Sharma added.

At one hand the online indians want high GDP, but also want the govt to spend more on buying crops at MSP from farmers, part of which rots, some gets siphoned off and the rest reaches the poor through PDS.

[MP2011]

India’s hope is ebbing. It needs a leader who focuses on health, not victory

Unceasing deaths. Economic and social distress. Psychological trauma. Never in living memory were Indian citizens more hapless. Never was there an absolute absence of hope. Never was India’s leadership more cruel and callous towards citizens.

Several commentators have blamed the ‘system’ for the massacre caused by the coronavirus pandemic, without underlining the failure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, without naming the man behind the mayhem. They refuse to acknowledge that governance and administration do not operate in vacuum, these are led by specific personalities. The Modi government took little steps to build India’s health infrastructure, declared a false victory over the virus, celebrated Kumbh and went ahead with election rallies when the disease was spreading fast.

When the outbreak was first reported in India last year, the Union leadership was at test. A crisis is the biggest test of leadership. It makes and moulds leaders, prompts them to cede their hardened stances and reinvent themselves to meet new challenges. As we look back at the last 12 months, it’s obvious that the leadership deficit always existed at the top. Carefully concealed by PR exercises and submissive media, it has now become more visible than ever.

Any commentary that ignores the prime minister’s arrogance in responding to the health emergency over the last year is an apology for his government. The whimsical lockdown, the antics of candle lighting and banging utensils, apathy to the plight of labourers, failure to install oxygen plants and ramp up vaccine production and procurement to deal with the imminent second wave, concealing cases and death counts, bullying media to not report facts are among the long list of reasons that have converted the nation into a wailing crematorium; reasons why the final accountability rests with the Union government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Deflecting attention from PM Modi and finding escape routes elsewhere has been the usual approach of many opinion leaders since 2014. It insulated the man and emboldened the government to continue with its dangerous mix of antipathy and arrogance. Last month, an elite private university was embroiled in a scandal over the resignation of an eminent faculty. Several commentators criticised Ashoka University for succumbing to the mighty, ignoring that the university administration was clearly bullied by the country’s rulers who couldn’t tolerate their criticism. Those who treated the Ashoka episode as an isolated incident overlooked falling standards in academic institutions during the Narendra Modi era. The government despises academics and scholars, be it at private or government institutions, reflected in assaults on writers and academics.

Many of those who were gloating with guilty pleasure in 2014 and 2019, who had rationalised, even justified, his earlier victories, couldn’t read the omens that have fallen upon us now. As we fix the responsibility of the Modi government, it’s imperative to assess the contribution of such commentators to his ascent.

Let’s strongly disagree with the UPA and the Congress dynasty, but also appreciate that the dynasty had given immense space to some outstanding civil society leaders who were instrumental in drafting and crafting several welfare schemes like the MGNREGA under which the Modi government later sought and found a shameless asylum.

And unlike the current rulers, the UPA acknowledged its failures. At the peak of the Naxal violence in 2010, then Home Minister P. Chidambaram, admitting to the government’s failure in tackling the insurgency, said, “The buck stops at my desk”. The current Union home minister is unlikely to have this humility. The Modi government doesn’t even acknowledge the dead piling up in various crematoriums across the country. The government doesn’t even bother to properly record its dead. We are mere voters, robots to be programmed to press the EVM button.

The last months have reinforced that the poor have the maximum stake in health infrastructure and efficient management of health services. The rich can buy air purifiers for their homes, but the poor in a deeply unequal society like India will die on the pavement. Let me illustrate this point by citing the great environmentalist Anil Agarwal’s World Conservation Lecture of 1985, an essay historian Ramachandra Guha termed his finest. Agarwal noted that “the main source of environmental destruction in the world is the demand for natural resources generated by the consumption of the rich (whether they are rich nations or rich individuals and groups within nations)”, and “it is the poor who are affected the most by environmental destruction”. Environmental degradation poses the biggest threat to marginal communities like adivasis, fishermen and forest-dwellers who are dependent on natural resources for their livelihood and survival.

Any commentary on Modi’s handling of the pandemic that doesn’t take note of India’s slide into poverty and the administration’s continued apathy for the poor is an apology for the government.

What is really baffling and mind boggling to me is the consistency with which this guy turns everything he touches into absolute trash.

Gujrat riots, beef lynching, demonetization and associated mess ups, CAA protests, Delhi Muslim riots, farmers protests, migrant crisis and now this corona hell... everything he touches; he lights up an absolute fire and makes people’s lives miserable.

Surely at some point his supporters gotta see the one common, underlying thread?

That’s not going to happen.

Firstly many of his most hardcore supporters are not deserting him because come what may Modi was the kind of leader they were waiting for to come into power. They see him as an iron fist strong macho leader (when reality is he isn’t) so just like the Trump phenomenon they will do everything in their power that he stays in the hot seat.

Secondly there is a lot of right wing Indian media outlets that are doing massive propaganda for Modi and they now have a big foothold and can influence the masses. If they don’t call him out then it’s highly unlikely to have a massive impact at the moment.

I think the only thing that will change the Indian population mind overall on Modi will be the economy- if that implodes then just like the recent American election there maybe just enough people to sway the election but that’s a good 3 years away and a lot can change till then.

Gujarat Riots: He has been exonerated by the courts. This happened before he became PM.

Why did Muslims burn 60 Hindus inside a train? There was bound to be a retaliation. Modi or no Modi.

Demonetization: Kick started India's digital economy. There was significant rise in tax collection.

Delhi Riots: A section of Muslim occupied roads blocked access of the people. They believed they could muscle out the rest 20 per cent of the population. When confronted, they attacked certain hindu majority locations. Then Hindus retaliated.

Farmer Protest: Its a insignificant gathering of Jats now.

Why did Muslims burn 60 Hindus inside a train? There was bound to be a retaliation. Modi or no Modi.

One was act of wanton violence and what followed thereafter was an organised pogrom, instigated and encouraged by a rabid fascist, his lackeys and acolytes. Why was it bound to happen? How does a despicable, cowardly crime by an unruly mob justify what happened thereafter?

Your puerile reasoning that the Gujarat riots flowed as a consequence of the Godhra incident, then exonerates the people responsible for that inhumane crime.

What event had the people on that train just returned from? Well according to your line of thought what happened to those poor souls on the train was bound to happen..

This is stupid logic and can be easily countered by : “Why did Hindus destroy the Babri mosque as part of a mob?”

Such logic goes nowhere. Modi was the CM and he let it happen under his watch.

Demonetization: Kick started India's digital economy. There was significant rise in tax collection.

Delhi Riots: A section of Muslim occupied roads blocked access of the people. They believed they could muscle out the rest 20 per cent of the population. When confronted, they attacked certain hindu majority locations. Then Hindus retaliated.

Anyways You will obviously give a biased, one sided perspective. But that’s fine and not even the issue. I was not asking for explanations.

The issue is it’s ALWAYS Modi at the center of it. At some point you have to see the common thread and say “okay, other side is wrong but Modi doesn’t make it better and just makes situation 10x worse... and due to that maybe we need different representation for causes we believe in.” Everything that guy touches turns into a total mess.

Knowing bigot and his fellow sanghis well enough, I won't be surprised one bit if Godhara incident was masterminded by the bigot himself to gain foothold in Gujarat. After all, sanghis are rioters in chief in India be it Muzaffarnagar, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, list is endless.

 

[MP2011]

It's all on Atal and Advani. Former couldn't showa bit of spine despite being PM and the latter fully backing the bigot despite his so obvious role in killing thousands.

 

[gazza619]

One can be accused.Doesnt mean one is guilty.No enquiry even the one by supreme court of India have found him guilty.

Thank god that Kerala temples are in the hands of Hindus now and will be take care of.

Indian justice system isnt going work according to your wishes.It works according to laws and evidences.

So 6 years on from this post of yours, I am guessing you are still backing Modi?

India tells diplomats to counter world’s ‘one-sided’ narrative about Covid crisis

Everyone in the meeting was asked to pass on the message that there could be no association between the campaign rallies, and the rise in the number of cases

By Peony Hirwani

Indian envoys and high officials posted across the world have been passed on the message that the “one-sided” story in global media about PM Narendra Modi’s “incompetent” handling of the second influx of the pandemic should be countered.

A virtual gathering of diplomats was held by the government because of the reports in worldwide papers and TV channels censuring the Indian Prime Minister for the government’s response to the crisis overwhelming the country.

The Prime Minister is confronting a backlash for holding an election in the state of West Bengal that logged 16,403 fresh cases on Tuesday, and not cancelling the Kumbh Mela festival which was attended by 3.5 million pilgrims.

Numerous news sources have produced videos showing conditions outside medical facilities where individuals are wheezing as they run out of oxygen, along with clips of full crematoriums.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar explained to members to not get overwhelmed by “negative” media reports.

He said the present circumstances were not unique as the second surge was something nobody could have anticipated, and most progressive health systems in developed nations had come under similar strain at different times during the pandemic.

Everyone in the meeting was asked to pass on the message that there could be no association between election campaign rallies and the rise in the number of cases.

Jaishankar also referenced how the biggest number of cases were in New Delhi and Maharashtra, where no elections were held.

Nonetheless, the minister failed to address the subject of Kumbh Mela, which has been depicted as a “spreader” event.
‐-------------‐-----------------------------------------


It's now appears to be a PR war on two fronts (domestic and international) and everything is about altering and controlling the prevailing narrative and the negative image it generates. This includes gettng critical tweets removed and going after desperate folk pleading for assistance on social media platforms as well as the above story.

It would be humorous if the matter wasn't so serious. People are dying in their thousands on a daily basis but the politicians and their subservient lackeys appear to be more concerned with how it's making Modi look.

I will just repeat what I asked yesterday. When do you apportion some blame let alone cut your losses. When do you say ok maybe his intentions are good and his ideology is something I’m on board with but he’s not the man to take it forward because everything he’s involved in turns into an almighty mess! (Whether it’s due to his own failings or some conspiracy is irrelevant at this point)

What is really baffling and mind boggling to me is the consistency with which this guy turns everything he touches into absolute trash.

Bjp had 3 seats in bengal, now they have close to 75.

 

[Gharib Aadmi]

Delighted that the BJP has lost Bengal.

Congrats to Mamata Banerjee.

Why did BJP lose in West Bengal? Is it because of the large Muslim population in the state?

If so its kind of like the US in that way, as Democrats can only win the presidential election because of the minority vote, otherwise the Republicans would win if the voters were only Whites.

Democrats win because whites are not communal. All minorities are communal.
