The present may be kind to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but history will be harsher on him. Modi has been getting away with all his imprudent decisions that include blunders, and will perhaps continue to do so in the years to come, with benign voters showering their awe on him, making his grandstanding overpower everything else. However, history will remember Modi as a prime minister who won a massive mandate, but failed to make any real contribution to nation–building.
As former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Monday criticised PM Modi for his Galwan statement, one was reminded of the famous remark he had made towards the end of his term in 2014 — “history will be kinder to me than the contemporary media, or for that matter, the Opposition parties in Parliament”.
For Modi, it will be the other way around — he may be smooth-sailing now, but history won’t be kind to him — if he continues this way and instead remember him for catering to a very narrow vision and for initiating steps that have caused more harm than good.
From an ill-advised demonetisation to bulldozing his way through decisions such as the dilution of Article 370, followed by a strict clampdown in Kashmir and introduction of contentious and polarising laws, Modi has left the political environment vitiated and caused India’s relations with its neighbours to deteriorate. The Prime Minister has set many milestones that are unlikely to seem flattering when history around him is written.

Modi: The present
There is little doubt that Modi is among the most popular leaders, with a cult-like following that independent India has not seen before. I have travelled extensively to cover elections and other events, and found his popularity to be overwhelming. It cuts across gender, geographies and socio-economic backgrounds.
It is this massive goodwill and an uncanny ability to connect with the masses that has held, and will continue to hold, Modi in good stead. His blunders don’t matter. The opposition’s shrill attacks fade in front of his masterful histrionics and he ensures that his spin mastery overcomes the most challenging of situations.
Nothing has really hurt Modi politically so far: be it the ill-thought-out decision to demonetise high-value currency notes in one go in November 2016 or the hasty rollout of GST soon after — both of which adversely impacted voters across segments. And yet, when Modi is attacked, he only becomes stronger. No one can forget how former Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s chowkidar chor hai campaign in the run-up to the 2019 Lok Sabha election and his corruption allegations in the Rafale deal, both of which directly attacked Modi, boomeranged.
An unquestioning electorate that laps up almost anything that the PM says and a splintered, incoherent and often scared opposition have been Modi’s biggest strengths. The present, therefore, is kind to the Prime Minister. But what will he be remembered for in the future and what is the legacy he will leave behind?

Where history won’t be kind to Modi
Among a number of adverse policy decisions, especially on the economic front, demonetisation, followed by a “flawed” and hastily rolled out GST will top the list, with their negative impact still lingering on the economy. While Modi sold them to the country as his big-ticket economic reforms, aimed at curbing black money and formalising the indirect tax regime, respectively, the reality is that they were twin blows to an economy that was running fine up until then.
That was his first term. In his second term, where he returned with an even-bigger mandate, the Modi government passed a number of legislations that have ended up straining the social fabric of India, and has left it polarised like never before.
Modi will be infamously remembered for presiding over a government of a party that played polarising politics across states. History won’t forget that when Amit Shah compared illegal migrants to “termites” and said that they will be thrown into the Bay of Bengal, it was Modi who was India’s Prime Minister.
History will not be kind to Modi for turning Assam’s National Register of Citizens (NRC) from an ethnic issue into a communal one, or for bringing in the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
The triple talaq law, questionable amendments to laws such as RTI and UAPA, and going all jingoistic about the ‘outsider’ — all show how the Modi government’s emphasis has only been on catering to its blinkered vision.
The Covid crisis is unprecedented and harsh, but the Modi government’s handling of the labour crisis, its thoughtlessness and how it tried to undermine the federal structure by towering over states will forever be questioned.
A poor bench strength in the government and the BJP, and his inability to groom a solid second-rung of leaders or retain true talent have also been Modi’s big weaknesses.
Modi’s poor handling of India’s foreign policy is another point that puts him on a sticky wicket. Be it the ongoing standoff with China at the LAC that has led to the death of 20 Indian soldiers, a combative Nepal unilaterally changing its map to include Indian territory or incessant attacks on the security forces in Kashmir, India is being challenged by the neighbours more frequently than ever before.
Modi’s statement on Galwan at the all-party meet created a furore, which further shows he thinks more as a politician pandering to voters than a leader thinking geo-strategically.
While the issue of Bangladeshi infiltrators has impacted ties with Bangladesh, the Sri Lankan dispensation under the Rajapaksa brothers also isn’t friendly to India, and is known for its proximity to China.
ALso read: Doklam team of Jaishankar-Doval-Rawat let Modi down but he has an option
Where history will be kind
One can’t say Modi hasn’t achieved anything at all. The welfare platform laid down in his first term — from providing rural housing to cooking gas connections, rural electricity, health insurance, the Aadhaar emphasis to weeding out implementation glitches in schemes, and the robust use of the Socio-Economic Caste Census to extend benefits to the poor have all been extremely popular, useful and sound policy steps.
Diplomatically, the growing India-US ties is a key foreign policy achievement of the Modi government. The cross-border surgical strikes in 2016 and the Balakot air strikes in 2019 have also helped add to Modi’s muscle.
However, the Modi government’s focus on welfare and governance seems to have all but disappeared in the second term. The past one year has been entirely around Modi catering to a narrow vision of fulfilling a majoritarian, nationalistic impulse, and closing historical issues that matter to his core constituency at the cost of more pressing issues.
Modi will probably continue to win elections for a while to come, but what will he really be remembered for in the long run, besides his amazing ability to command votes? That is a question that must haunt Modi, if he wants history to remember him as a nation-builder, and not just an election-winning, smooth-talking machine.
Views are personal.
Absolute bullshit. When one finds one cannot defeat a competitor on account of his superior merit, one starts indulging in such self-comforting Cassandra-like prognostications! Blinded by personal hatred of Modi you have eyes that see not and ears that hear not. Naturally, you cannot see that not only the present but future too will be kinder to him than the past -2002 to 2014 when people like you tried to hound him out of existence. For he has come as a messianic figure to rectify the mess created by the Gandhi-Nehru Congress. His “imprint” is indelible. Shekhar Gupta’s print will wither away but Modi as Saviour of Mother India will be remembered for ever. So shall it be and so shall it be written.
It is too early to write about history. If anything, history will be kind to Modi. Not because he was successful, but he tried. Problem with such writers is they don’t understand the elements of organic Indian leadership, and instead base their comments on Western ideals.
We in India focus more on efforts, and less on results. And on that front, Modi has done more than most other leaders in contemporary India. He has challenged status quo across multiple dimensions (370, GST, etc.), and while the implementation could have been better, by and large, they have changed the paradigm. And that’s why history is harsh on MMS – because he didn’t make good faith efforts to grow India, inspite of his constraints.
I suggest you read up on Indian history (going back to Ramayana) to understand what organic Indian leadership is all about. Then reflect on how we should evaluate and support our leaders, versus blindly applying artificial frameworks. Then reflect on how Modi responds in times of crises. It’ll be a great revelation.
You are a smart journalist, Ruhi. Expand your thinking to what works for our country, not what works elsewhere.
No editorials can disturb indian minds, we are with strong man of India,,, modi
Trouble is that history is written by the winner. Modi is winning and his disciples are writing a fake narrative. We can hope that in the long-run justice will prevail but it does not always do so – one needs to make that happen. So yes, if Modi does not succeed in destroying the fabric of India, he will indeed be judged badly but if he succeeds in creating a Republic Bharat, he will be portrayed a hero. We can still hope that one day people will rebel against the fascist state of RB, and reinstate India as we know it and yes, then historical balance may be restored.
I think economy is screwed mostly because of actions of this govt. He is barely right of centre and most of the decisions on economics won’t justify his right. He has still done a few good things to be painted grey and not black.
Political orientation and biases of journalists should be in their personal time.
Nobody knows the future. I have a balanced opinion and I think economy is screwed mostly because of actions of this govt. He is barely right of centre and most of the decisions on economics won’t justify his right. He has still done a few good things to be painted grey and not black.
Political orientation and biases of journalists should be in their personal time.
History will remember PM Modi as a Leader who acted decisively keeping national interest above all other considerations. That of course will not be the view of a lot of “Experts, Historians and Scholars” who only view him with subjective contempt, rather than the things he has done to change the country and clean it up after nearly 60 years of misrule and political capitulation to the interests of one family and one family alone.
History will remember Modi as the man who wrote his own destiny and one who changed the trajectory of India towards greatness and self reliance. No matter what is written and spoken about Modi and no matter what is done to negate or smear what he is doing for the country. The people of India know are wise enough to know that Narendra Modi is a man of principle and honor and as someone who could not be shaken or bought out to compromise on India’s interests domestically and internationally. He will be remembered as one of, if not – India’s greatest Prime Minister.
He came on a plank of black money , corruption,. Development . All these left behind. Proving to be the Worst government in the history of India.
I think journalist is hit hard as Indian army teach lessons to China….He is actually loyal to that country….
Mr Partha: The scorecard as it stands today:
– 20 Indian soldiers martyred
– between 40 to 60 sq. km of Indian territory captured by China
Suggest you respond when you get sober.
Since I have lived and worked in USA for 10 years, honestly speaking India is still nowhere:
1: Modi should remove all his cabinet ministers first and should form a team of Entrepreneurs or Highly educated ministers (Science tech Eng or Math) graduates….Few with Foreign Return would be a great idea like Raghuram Rajan
2: Modi should keep Military and State owned bank with him.
3: Then he should form an association of Architects Association of India and develop “Massive level Infrastructure” for the nation…..(keeping every minute detail in mind and strong enacment of law)….CCTV, best concrete or asphalt used…. proper leveling of roads…..4-5- lane freeways with last one for cyclist or for ambulance
4: Rest Areas for truck drivers!
5″ Set up 10X Gasoline Stations
6: Set up “Regulators” for every sector
7: Ban or revoke each and every universities license if their teachers arent good, teaching skills not upto the mark…..focus on skills, skills, skills
8: Make a law for reasonably good salary, make people or employees work very hard reward them with handsome salary
9: This country doesnt value educated people or hardworking people…..Amitabh bachchan makes crores whereas an mba makes 4-5 lakhs and uneducated makes $2/ day – “MODI SHOULD CHANGE HIS MINDSET” – PLEASE GIVE DIGNITY EVEN TO THAT INDIAN WHO IS A RAG PICKER, SEWAGE CLEANER…..HE IS AN INDIAN TOO AND DOING HARD JOBS WHICH NOONE WOULD DO!
10: To IMPLEMENT 1 TO 9 – YOU NEED LOTS OF INVESTMENT IN TECHNOLOGY (ROPE IN INDIAS TOP 7 IT FIRMS) For projects in every sector within india and within every state
10: THE REAL TEST FOR THIS COUNTRY WOULD BE TO DO A PILOT PROJECT – IN A COUNTRY LIKE INDIA IF LETS SAY RELIANCE FRESH….. CAN THEY OPERATE IN ALL 28STATES WITH 100 BRANCHES EACH IN EVERY STATE? IF NOT THEN WHY?
11: BY NOW MODI SHOULD BE SAYING THAT WE HAVE LOT OF JOBS BUT BUSINESS ARE FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO FILL POSITIONS DUE TO SKILLGAP!
12: SINCE MODI HIMSELF NOT SMART ENOUGH…..YOU CANT EXPECT FROM HIM THAT HE WOULD LET INDIA TOWARDS A SPEEDY DEVELOPMENT
13: HE AINT CHANGING TAX SLABS!
14: HE IS AN ANTI INDIA…….HE IS HERE TO WASTE TIME!
Better u bcm PM
The article, as some opinions are, comes from a prism of prejudice. Instead of unequivocally acknowledging the goods that have been done. It is a qualified recognition. It is a half pat on the back perhaps. At worse, is a criticism that is masked under the guise of recognition of the good done. Yes there is always things that are implemented half ass and mishandled in every government. The most important factor, there have been no reported corruption scandals. Is that not worth mentioning. While Rafale was mentioned, it was not clarified that there was no prima facie pay outs and corruption found.
Opinions have to be honest. I do not believe the opinion here was….
He is a good man
I agree with the author’s view point and how history will be harsh to the present PM. He had been chosen by the people of India over Congress with a strong reason that he would bring prosperity all around. Even he promised that good days are near during his first press release. But what he did so far is to take over every institution and make them to dance on his tunes. Media has a major role in a democracy to expose the loopholes of the ruling government, but sadly, for the first time in history, indian media has been tagged as biased. I strongly feel, Narendra Modi, if he doesn’t stop his wicked ways just to win elections rather than serving the nation, will be remembered as a “mistake” in the history of our country.
Who is this rascal to make comments about our country and our PM Modi.
The Maharajahs and Nawabs were also sailing smoothly when the British took India.
This jurno is showing his true culture, tiwari hai na, but for Modi, missionaries/ Mullahas would have swallowed hindus in this last 6 years, useless fellow why are u ashamed of yourself calling hindu, fm 1947 all secular traitors hindus in their home land, Secularism is nowhere in the Christian/ Islamic world, even muslim personal law is bought by bitch lady PM, so butchered for her sins, same for Rajiv the womaniser, by Dravadian parties sponosered LTTE…better for this jurno to go and join Manrega for a living instead of the present job…
Why is Ruhi going crazy over Modi as yet? He has not yet finished and has at least one more term to go! And who will write his history? Will Ruhi be around to read it? Only Shekhar seems to understand her arguments in this article!.
His some achievement I know-
•liberalizing indian companies.
• bringing reforms in armed forces
• reviving the old respect of Indian culture worldwide.
• liberalizing the defence and space industry.
• opening agriculture market.
Mr Devansh Verma: You have forgotten the following achievements:
– Brought back illegal money stashed away in Foreign backs such that each Indian got about Rs 15 lacs in his account. This was a Modi promise before elections that was “honoured”
– Recovered all black money, ended terrorism and ended counterfeiting through demonetisation
– Implemented GST that made transactions easy – in theory
– Ordered a strike on Balakot that ended in the bombing of some bushes, scaring the Pakistanis to death. Never mind the loss of an Indian aircraft and friendly fire that resulted in the death of 16 Indian troops in an Indian helicopter
– Stopped all religious violence in India, including lynching of innocent Muslims
– Promised, through Home Minister Amit Shah that Aksai Chin and PoK would be recovered; let us not talk about 60 square km of Indian territory lost and 20 soldiers dead
– Promoted the use of gomutra, panchgavya and other medical paradigms such as cowpathy
Let me stop here Sir. Please tell me what you think of my list of Modi’s achievements Mr Devansh Verma.
–
MAAMFor the first time in my life I can see a Government at centre without any Scams. Yes Modis harsh decisions seem to be a blunder in the long term but all his steps will blossom good results in the future. Hope you Agree.
Arrival of Modi on the horizon, his rule will be a recorded watershed moment in Indian history +ves far outweighing a few plausible good intentioned -ves providing world class transparent decisive leadership at a crucial time which is quite enough and perhaps more ☺
History will be kind but traitors won’t be
The article is biased. What ever Modi is doing, is in the long term.interest of the nation. Even the demonetisation was to curb the black money. It might not have succeeded to the level énvisaged but intentions were clear. The proof of the pudding is in eating. Why would he win second term with bigger majority if his actions were not in the interest of the nation.
Because people often dream instead of thinking critically! The Hindutva brigade knows how to win elections but they do not know how to govern. Modi is a terrible leader. China will smack him down!
Hundred Modi cannot eliminate corruption because average Indians are very very corrupt. No matter how many rules government introduces, crafty Indians will always find a way to avoid taxes. Indians are basically dishonest people.
***Congress’s Achievement: Looting for 60 years.
***BeeJayPee’s Biggest Achievement: Looting double that sum of money within a matter of six years.
***Congress = We have just one family that loots.
***BJP = We are one large family of looters.
***O Gullible People of India, judge for yourself which kind of looter you would prefer, or perhaps you could do very well without a ‘Government’. Gone are those days when a POLITICIAN could be trusted. Perhaps in future it would be better to live without the presence of a Government !
Excellent summary of events in Lynchistan Mr/Ms Achievement !
I am really afraid of chinese bat. ????
Who is this Ruhi Tewari? Always writing something bullshit anti-Modi rhetoric and nothing else. Only she knows how history will be written and all others are fools.
Well balanced write up. I am aligned with the views here. Modi is a panderer and truly history (despite being written by the victors) will not be kind to him. The NaMo to SuMo (Surrender Modi) transition will be remembered as the key moment when people realized what a weakling he is
Sailing smoothly himself, while Indian ship sinks. He must be in another ship funded by Ambani.
The Journalist here has proven his trying capabilities to pollute the living environment in India through his non potential subjects scripted baselessly.
He will never be successful..he presumably is working as an agent to destabilize the country.
Mr Modi the Prime Minister is on the job , unlike these members ascribe, he is Son of the Soil working for Mother India with long run vision, he is Dusting the old cobwebs to set things right for future generations to hold their head high with pride with India to be a Super Power Country unlike the predecessors over the Decades , who were succumbed to the money bag Politics overlooking the cause of Citizens….Dear Journalist never be in Dream Paradise to please your masters for remuneration sake….Sorry not to hurt you…but it’s your story line..
मोदी के संबंध में आपके विचार क्या पूर्वाग्रह से लेपित नहीं है। आपकी भाषा और विचारों से पूर्वाग्रह की गंध आती है, इस गंध को त्यागकर अपने विचार आलेखित करें, जिसको निष्पक्ष लेखन कहा गया है,तब मोदी को कसौटी पर कसने का काम करिए।
History is written by the victors. If Modi keeps winning, history, too, will be written by the BJP. Congress wrote the Indian history for the last seventy years.
Why to think of history? Living in the present does author have any better solutions to issues raised? Border disputes with China led to conceding terrirtoy several time? Is that what is expected? With Pakistan the undecisiveness had killed so many jawans? Is that acceptable without giving even a bloody nose? Others had more than 10 yrs to shape up GST…. But could not manage. So when author says immature implementation…. Are there any better suggestions?? Or just stay in status quo is expected?? Pls live in present and give constructive suggestions instead….
Its totally one sided. Entire world tries to save their own country and when in 70 years for first time india is doing, writer like this with narrow and self interested people with false agenda, will always accuse blatantly with full of lies. News prints like this should never allow articles without any international exposure and decision taken all over the world by various countries. Instead you should put up article to spot out where infra should be developed, how business can be eased in india. How to get platform ready for invitong business.
It is because of the excrement put out by people like Shivam Vij and this woman that I don’t feel like supporting The Print or its Cut the Clutter. These people not only undermine the publication but also Shekhar Gupta’s personal credibility.
These media are not just anti Modi BJP, they are anti Bharat. They criticise the present government as if the opposition would have solved all the problems. The fact is that they were the root cause of today s problems. The present government is having a tough time correcting the previous wrongdoings and working against heavy opposition let alone the opposition but also a caucus of left leaning media and pervert intellectuals
Balakot strike was just a sham, missing all target and giving all sorts of stupid excuses and w.r.t Surgical strikes, nothing happened again just as the surgical strikes in Myanmar that never happened…So overall this PM and the stupid citizens will accept anything to bolster the country’s image even if it’s imagination or a lie.
History will also note:
He is the only PM who never faced a Press conference.
Public memory is fickle. People seem to have forgotten the pogroms under then CM Modi’s watch in Gujarat in 2002 when innocent Muslims were burned, Muslim women were raped and the stomachs of pregnant Muslim women slit ? That was a state orchestrated pogrom planned and executed by the RSS, Bajrang Dal, VHP, BJP etc. with the full knowledge and tacit acquiesence of CM Modi. Indeed, the police would nonchalantly tell frightened Muslims who sought protection from the bloodthirsty RSS, BJP and Bajrang Dal mobs:
“We have no orders to save you”
Those orders came from then CM Modi. That too is the legacy of the man.
Of course, given the fact that killing Muslims gets you the votes and admiration of Hindus – including the votes of educated Hindus such as the Dr JN Naidus, S Bahls, Ishants, Chetans etc. of India – one must not be surprised that the average Hindu holds PM Modi in high esteem. The average Hindu has endorsed the vile, facsist and racist ideology called Hindutva. Indeed, recognising this fact, even the Congress flirts with Hindutva lite.
History and contemporary events show that Fascists and demagogues like Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Viktor Orban of Hungary, Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines, Donald Trump, Narendra Modi etc. were /are popular in their countries. Indeed, even as Berlin lay in ruins, Adolf Hitler could convince Germans that it was all the handiwork of Jews. And parents were willing to send their 12 year old kids to fight in the Hitler Jugend (Hitler Youth) and face the bullets of the Allies. And as an aside, Hitler’s Mein Kampf is a bestseller in India and in many a middle-class Indian drawing room, I have heard people extol his virtues and wished that a man like Hitler took over the reins of power in India. I guess, the RSS, which was modelled on the fascist and Nazi ideologies of the Germnay and Italy of the 1930 has gifted India with its own Führer.
As the German philosopher Georg Hegel said:
“We learn from history that we do not learn from history”
Don’t worry man, even God will be kind to him and he will be remain indian pride PM for another 20 years till Mr yogi get ready. Your favourite traitors will never return to power, sad for you. Good luck to you Mr shekhar gupta.
Don’t worry man, even God will be kind to him and he will be remain indian pride PM for another 20 years till Mr yogi get ready. Your favourite traitors will never return to power, sad for you.
How will history judge Rahul Gandhi? Will history be polite and refer to him as intellectually shallow, privileged and ineffective?
Or will history be truthful and describe him for what he is? An irresponsible, ignorant, uneducated, idiot Duffer, a turncoat who finished his sorry political career after being exposed in the year 2020 as a traitor?
As long às Mody is able to divide the opposition Parties, he will continue to win elections.
Excellent article, fully agree.
BJP’s main contribution is in showing the viability of two-party system solidly. However, Prime Minister Modi will have much to answer in the end. His main weakness is in reliance on mediocrity coupled with inability to go into details himself. He could have done wonders with Arun Shouries and Subramaniam Swamys, precisely because his self-accepted habit of not going into details.
It is ironical that Congress wished for a BJP-free country and BJP want a Congress-free (mukt) India. Both are day-dreaming.
Perhaps it is time for third force of economic right but culturally more near centre, like Conservatives with a broad church philosophy.
Kejriwal has shown viability of new parties but he is not decisively on economic right, so could not make a mark nationally.
Shekhar, any other commentator – do you think a third force from ground up possible, or am I day-dreaming?
Please email sanjiv@ggif.in
The analysis presented seems to be a concise presentation of the present political scene. However, if we check the numbers, Modi’s vote catching capacity is not so much as portrayed. In fact, Bjp has got 300 plus seats but the vote share is the lowest for any majority Government so far. Just a shade better than the 32% it received in 2014. Two out of every three Indian, rejecting him. The BJP’s votes are only in undeveloped cow belt with a large illiteracy level. Aptly called BIMARU region. Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh plus Gujarat.
If historians write history instead of propogandists, he will be remembered for
Transition from India to bharat at the least.
The kind of confidence he has instilled in people of bharta after being told by the leftist and Islamist propogandists that “history of India is myth and bharat has seen glory either under Mughals or Britishers”will never be forgotten.
The print sees Modi govt with jaundiced eyes–not banning triple TALAQ to appese mullahs is the worst thing congress did to muslim women.Now many muslim women voted for Modi for getting triple Talaq abolished.Also Muslim women are demanding uniform civil code,banning polygamy in this civilised world. People are now more intelligent and don’t go by the advice of paid media.In the next election BJP will win with a bigger majority,with more muslims(except mullahs)voting for BJP.I will highlight two points about Modi govt achievements 1.International recognition of India–am a proud Indian 2.Check mating TERRORISM in India.
Do the trolls realise they’re proving the author of this OPINION PIECE right?! Asking for a friend….
Calling people trolls just because you don’t agree with the them is the biggest tragedy of current political situation.
These same people were voting others before now they have changed their mind so now they are trolls how stupid.
What I fail to understand that all this author claims has not been backed by any data and in the end it says, ‘ the views are personal’. So if it’s just a view then ofcourse a view which lacks any accountability. I fail to understand that is journalism about projecting and spreading our views or is it about presenting the true facts?
It’s not a journalistic article like a news report. It’s an opinion piece, which means these are the author’s personal thoughts on the subject. Hence, views are personal.
The author obviously appears to be a faithful mouthpiece of Congress (and not the entire opposition) and just pushing its now irrelevant narrow agenda of trying to corner Modi but failing with each move having boomeranged and discarded by general public. It is surprising that the author is just trying to sell a junked prespective of that party when it has failed in all respect and has become irrelevant to the Indian masses. Inspite of a massive mandate to Modi and his majorly progressive policies, Congress and its stooges are trying their level best for a comeback through such paid media….but its got egg on their faces !! So much for such modern and paid journalism !
I understand the frustrations of Smt Tiwari and fellow travellers of her ideology. Unfortunately for her, the voters are longer ready to be brain washed by luddite elites. Tough luck lady.
This author is clearly biased against modi, same as this website “The Print”, no matter what, your propaganda won’t work and modi will keep on winning and making india stronger, keep calling everyone ‘bhakts” who praise india, let’s see 10 years down the line, india will be an even stronger nation and modi as one of the greatest leader
The Print and it’s editor is Muslim Hindu, extremely Poisoned and blood sucker,well educated from CPM and Congress.
