Modi government is a term used to refer to the cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the 14th Prime Minister of India. The government comprises members of Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP)-led NDA.
Anti-CAA protesters have dispersed, and economic problems can be blamed on Covid-19. Modi is too smart a politician to miss the opportunity in a crisis.
The budget caps stand at either 15 or 20% of the full year’s allocations and won’t apply to ministries at the forefront of the Covid-19 battle, including health & food.
Rural development secretary has written to states & UTs to utilise services of youths trained in the health sector under Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushal Yojana.
Besides cash transfers, the package announced by FM Sitharaman also offers free foodgrains for poor & migrant workers hit hardest by the Covid-19 lockdown.
The Beckhams have had the sleekest, unassailable PR game in celebrity town. And much of it rests on their carefully curated social media image, especially on Instagram.
Economists say there are weaknesses in India’s GDP data. But statisticians claim the accusations are based on flawed understanding, saying while GDP has problems, the economists are looking in the wrong places.
Both the governments expressed their commitment to strengthening their maritime cooperation to strengthen the maritime safety and security framework in the region.
Troll army is and fake comments do not make the story wrong. Anti CAA-NPR-NRC are the protests to save millions of Indians from the fascists agenda of Shah-Modi-RSS. As always, they claim that only Muslims will suffer. The fact is that everyone will suffer and Muslims will still be there because they need Muslims to blame, they cannot survive their politics without an enemy.
Citizens were not protesting against CAA only illegal migrants and their sycophant masters. This article is as shit as the Print. You wanted lockdown with notice, ask for notice from China when you contract Corona.
The entire world faces a pandemic but here we have ‘The Print’ with toppled words compressing every emergency step to a mere political decision and an attempt to snub a trifle of anti caa protestors.
Shame on you!
Criticise yourself, you dumb heads!!
Left-liberals want millions of Indians to die, so that they can blame all on Modi. Unfortunately, that is not happening. So this burning sensation in their stomachs is overflowing as too many articles from the left-liberal cabal.
He has a gift none of his eight predecessors, from Manmohan Singh to Rajiv Gandhi, had: Being able to speak directly and convincingly to a large enough section of Indians who will take his word for gospel, and his order like a papal bull. Shekhar Gupta
This is an unbelievably ridiculous article. It smells of anti Modi stink. It’s shocking to observe how ignorant and unthankful the author is. How can you even breathe with so much hatred and negativity in your pitiful brain which obviously is lacking in oxygen? Get yourself checked. Hopefully, there is some vaccine for this anti Modi disease you are suffering from.
Is Print is promoting conversion to Christian! For every article in print their main advertiser is praising Jesus and Christianity. How much money Print is geeting promote Christianity?
Like everything in this country is attributed to Modi from this article it looks like he invited the corona virus to save his govt. !!!! And by the way the anti CAA protests were orchestrated by political parties inciting the sentiments of the minority when it is clear that no Indian stands to lose. And when did Modiji ask you to bang utensils . That was the malayali version of taali bajao. Can understand with limited knowledge of Hindi. And that was for the frontline workers not for himself . Wgen Spain and Italy does it, it jams appreciated. Only this unholy Modi hatred is palpable in this article. At such a trying time let better sense prevail
Utter rubbish.
This is the press we are scared of.
I dont understand Mr Ninan saying Modi should have give sufficient notice for lockdown. It would have caused more infections. One more inaccurate point. SG is not on lockdown. It also did not give sufficient notice.
Why do keep writing articles that are against him? Try to accept the fact that he has always been there for the country and remained honest and sincere towards his duties and responsibilities.Dont try to impose your nonsensical views against him. Stop your hatred

I agree journalism has a role in exposing the loop holes with its constructive criticism, but is this article really the need of the hour?? Certainly not… And surely not when the world leaders and organisations are actually appreciating the Indian effort in containing the spread! In these tough times media needs to write stuff that reassures the citizens that government is doing their job and spread awareness how each one of us can contribute by following regulations of the lockdown.
#stayhomestaysafe
the author i belive has got it wrong…the memory of the masses is always by default short. they might for a while forget that economic crisis is not because of modi but not for long…eventually they will have to blame him…at the max, it might have brought some breathing space for modi gov ….but the result of this lockdown will be catastropic for india and no amount of IT CELL/ media spinning can hide the pain of the masses int he lon//g term.
Words cannot define how low can someone think. I want to ask why are you perverting journalism in the name of this article in this hour when the world needs leaders like Subhash Chandra Bose, Mahatma Gandhi and Narendra Modi to show light in this our of crisis. Why are you writing such a piece of shit. Get a psycho-counselling done that is my request. I pray to Allah for your mental health wellness.
You are repeating the revisionist history propelled in academia regarding the Roosevelt’s New Deal. Roosevelt created a great depression out of a recession.
The great depression of 1930 was caused by the very policies taken up by his predecessor Herbert Hoover and continued by Roosevelt. US had many recessions since their inception until 1929. Their founding fathers believed in little government intervention. In fact a much bigger recession started in 1920. But, government never intervened to stimulate the economy. Infact they never did any special stimulus kind of thing until 1929.
The stock market crash of 1929 occured due to low interest rates and increased money supply by Federal reserve. After the crash occured, the money supply went down. Wages and prices had to go down in theory as deflationary recession is taking place and markets are being corrected. But the presidents imposed minimum wage laws, price controls, crop destructions to increase prices and so on. They created a depression out of a recession and let it plague the country for well over a decade.
That’s when the Government did seriously erode the constitutional values embarked upon by their founding fathers. Govt. became a rescuer. people started looking at Govt. for jobs. Taxes were raised. Regulations and red tape increased. US had no income taxes until 1913.
This is another one from the MODI BASHERS Group who only rely on biased theories and purposely turn a blind eye from the obvious facts. A little restraint and a sense of responsible journalism was expected at this hour of world crisis!
It is easy to bash someone for writing critical articles of the govt in today’s times but no one seems to have raised any objections to the central surmise – which is mismanagement of the economy and not paying adequate attention to economic matters for the last 3-4 years and instead playing up on emotive issues.
The author, though writes on economic issues also does not seem to have prescribed any solutions – so I have taken the liberty of suggesting a few.
1. All sarkari salaries at 4th or 5th pay commission level – to cool off inflation and save on wage bills.
2. Stop to Capex intensive projects for now.
3. Loan moratorium for one year – with no accrual of interest (the current one is simply of no use – where is money going to come after 3 months?)
4. After one year, loan recalculation to reflect prices at that time. Eg if property has depreciated then loan amount should be proportionately reduced.
5. No repossession of business/property for next 3 years.
6. Abolish income tax for 3 years.
7. High rate of interest on savings or govt bonds (to encourage recapitalisation).
All measures are temporary and can be reviewed periodically.
He has taken all the necessary steps to ensure a proper functioning. For all those against caa I want to ask what you do with a growing tumor, it needs to be cut away. He is the best pm we got after sardar patel.
From Swachh Bharat to withdrawal of LPG subsidy to the better-off, to demonetisation and now Covid-19, through all the other initiatives he has unveiled, he has invariably asked people to do something. Immediately, it makes them feel wanted, and responsible. Who doesn’t enjoy being taken seriously, and that too by such a powerful leader? He’s got the gift of seeking a sacrifice from people and pleasing them, instead of dispensing favours.
For the poor, Modi’s outreach is through direct and efficient delivery: Cash, LPG, toilets, housing, and there must be more to come. The message is not needed when money can work. His direct delivery of benefits to the poor has been phenomenally better and less leaky than anything in the past. Shekhar Gupta

What due rights? CAA is for the benefits of persecuted communities outside of India, not only Hindus which is fine. NRC should be scrapped. Why feed anti-India forces outside India for pet projects that don’t benefit Indians? Many Modi supporting Indians do not support NRC.
Such a low level story in such a situation of crisis. Can’t appreciate it.
Disgusting article ..surely gives us a glimpse of the pathetic mentality of the writer…this sick mentality of yours is more fatal than the covid-19 itself..may God help you
How do you blog with an iq equalling room temperature,these propoganda’s is what destroys the unity you dumb ass blogger,if you’re blogging atleast put in some actual helpful information bitch
The bias that foreign bought press like the Print have are so apparent it is hilarious. The
Anti CAA protests were also foreign funded and thankfully the country does not have the Gandhi Nehru Wadra family looting it anymore.
What exactly is brilliant about this? Please elucidate, if you understand the meaning of the word.
Shame on you, your brain is polluted with politics ,and anti government stand, diverting nation’s attention to dirty political stand rather than leaving it to citizens to decide it for themselves, you are trying to give it a different direction.
In fact, this crisis has trapped more in deep corner. Now no more jugaad can work and no more coated explanations will work. It has haulted many decisions and is going to change the environment and how people perceive this crisis management and decision making process. Transparency will be demanded by people themselves and this is going to push the wrong and fake things into further corners
Rather modi it is you presstitudes who will find lame excuses to switch over sides since the impact of corona is reduced due to the stringent action by modi.
The author is so consumed by hatred of Modi that he cant think straight. Behind the author’s diatribe one senses a reluctant and unacknowledged admiration for Modi. Granted Modi is no saint nor a brilliant leader having made many mistakes but it is this kind of unbalanced reporting that results in my complete loss of respect for the media today who at the same time as they bash the government for every single thing complain about a muzzled press.
I notice Flipboard curate all negative News about India and mostly western news shows only negativity.. Modi has emerge as a great leader but some only see negative . Very Bias article. Thumbs down.
Coronavirus bhi sanghi hai.. Modi se mila hua hai… Look at the frustration & hatred of these fanatics against India’s leader. The PM is in a fight till end with this terrible disease along with his populace, and these small people are burning in a self imposed hell of negativity.
Harsh facts are always unpalatable. The writer has done a good job .
Troll army is and fake comments do not make the story wrong. Anti CAA-NPR-NRC are the protests to save millions of Indians from the fascists agenda of Shah-Modi-RSS. As always, they claim that only Muslims will suffer.

Another classic case of hatred towards Modinmaking people lose even common sense!!!
I’m tickled to see the butthurt Bhakts in the comment section.
How dare you criticise their Dear Leader!

And this post proves that you don’t have any credible information, so you propogate for hits. Shameful

Get a Life!!!
Ditto Mr Saurabh !
The print is Leftist propoganda people shouldn’t take this seriously fake commies

Coming from a seasoned journalist like T N Ninan, seems he has reached the nadir in his writings.
He has taken all the necessary steps to ensure a proper functioning. For all those against caa I want to ask what you do with a growing tumor, it needs to be cut away. He is the best pm we got after sardar patel.
Truth is bitter my friend! But it is truth!!

Good !! You may be exception in your religious community. Keep yourself safe.
Take a long break sir …u need rest with opinions
Anti-CAA protests were mainly against Hindus getting there due rights
What due rights? CAA is for the benefits of persecuted communities outside of India, not only Hindus which is fine. NRC should be scrapped. Why feed anti-India forces outside India for pet projects that don’t benefit Indians? Many Modi supporting Indians do not support NRC.
Such a low level story in such a situation of crisis. Can’t appreciate it.
Disgusting article ..surely gives us a glimpse of the pathetic mentality of the writer…this sick mentality of yours is more fatal than the covid-19 itself..may God help you
Never read such a pathetic article in the time of national crises.
I don’t understand what kind of material The Print Snouts before Writing the Articles. This is Complete Pathetic in Times of Crises.
How do you blog with an iq equalling room temperature,these propoganda’s is what destroys the unity you dumb ass blogger,if you’re blogging atleast put in some actual helpful information bitch
The author is a first rate idiot to say the least. Modi was never cornered but some stupids like this author continue to believe in harping stupidity
The bias that foreign bought press like the Print have are so apparent it is hilarious. The
Anti CAA protests were also foreign funded and thankfully the country does not have the Gandhi Nehru Wadra family looting it anymore.
And the author of this article saved this job by typing this article. So sad to see our journalism standard.
Brilliant piece , but who cares, the author would be abused as anti national criticising him during the hour of crisis.
What exactly is brilliant about this? Please elucidate, if you understand the meaning of the word.
Shame on you, your brain is polluted with politics ,and anti government stand, diverting nation’s attention to dirty political stand rather than leaving it to citizens to decide it for themselves, you are trying to give it a different direction.
This article is biased one and shows hatred towards modi. The intellectual writting this article is intellectual of nothing.
In fact, this crisis has trapped more in deep corner. Now no more jugaad can work and no more coated explanations will work. It has haulted many decisions and is going to change the environment and how people perceive this crisis management and decision making process. Transparency will be demanded by people themselves and this is going to push the wrong and fake things into further corners
One of the best columns in the Print in recent times! How Modi was able to mesmerize 1.2 billion people will be for future historians to analyze.
He has laid the foundations of a comeback in 2024 unless the economy spins out of control.
Rather modi it is you presstitudes who will find lame excuses to switch over sides since the impact of corona is reduced due to the stringent action by modi.

Just won election last year with bigger mandate and he was cornered already?
I notice Flipboard curate all negative News about India and mostly western news shows only negativity.. Modi has emerge as a great leader but some only see negative . Very Bias article. Thumbs down.

Very shameful and opportunistic of your media house to think and propagate such views irrationally and anti-nationally.
Is this journalists middle name Corona?
Very aptly put out!! Has been the thought for quite a while now, finally could see it up .
