  1. ‘for them mr.modi is still the villain.’

    Modi is the over all villain. He is the CEO. Under him, the economy went down before Covid, Covid went out of control and economy with it, and China gave India a beating. What is your problem acknowledging Modi is the cause for India’s failure ? Is he your godman ?

  2. The state is going to the dogs. the whole state machinery is busy on things like taking vendetta on kangana raut and things like that. The covid is alarmingly on the increase only in this state right from day one. the covid cases in the state per day is more than 20 times that of the whole of pakistan.
    and yet there is not a single condemnation from any print media including the print. for them mr.modi is still the villain.
