A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
There is one set of rules that applies to rabble-rousers and Göbbels re-incarnations like “journalist” Arnab Goswami who sing praises to the BJP and the Great Gujarathis; and a totally different set of rules for true journalists like Dhavai Patel.
The days are not far when ThePrint jernos would also be booked under sedition laws for reporting fabricated anti national stories. Indian Express has become a platform for anti-national propaganda of India’s enemies. Such media houses should be closed down.

Mr ak.dev: So defines what is anti-national ? A jingoistic, Hindutva touting, Godse worshipping, closet Nazi politician from the BJP ? Or a fellow traveller of that tribe like you Mr ak.dev? Or the courts ?
And then, since when did criticism of a politician become an act of sedition ? Even during the terrible Emergency of Indira Gandhi, people were not booked for sedition. And then who the bloody hell are you to suggest that media houses that do not dance to your tunes be closed down? And have you ever checked up the meaning of the word sedition in a dictionary ? Not that I expect that they would be carrying dictionaries in your RSS shakha. Or that you and your itchy-groined gaurakshak buddies bother would be bothered to behave in accordance with the law of the land.
