As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
Low standards have become normal standards since 2014, thanks to Mr Modi. My first shock was, after becoming the PM, Mr Modi participated in an elaborated Ganga Arti. I thought that was odd for the PM of a secular country. Then, I saw him canvassing for BJP candidates even in state elections. I thought it was odd for the PM of a country. Then I saw that he does nothing else but campaign for the BJP, and funding for the BJP, and for friends of the BJP!!!! I thought it was odd for the PM of the country. Then lynchings of the Muslims came, and roaming cows came, and Rafale and Ranjan Gogoi, and NRC and CAA and the works. DECADENCE OF EVERY TYPE IS THE NEW NORM UNDER MR MODI. I don’t know what “standards” you guys are fretting about. You guys at THE PRINT are domiciled on the moon or what?

How can the parliament close its doors to those just because thy are accused of sexual offence? IT IS THE PEOPLE WHO SHOULDN’T VOTE FORM THEM! In the last election they elected 43% MPs with serious criminal charges against them, including sexual crimes, while rejecting good candidates with long record of public service. They even elected terror charged sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur with a big margin of more than 3 lakh votes!
