The Modi government has been tilting at the windmills for a while now in the face of the
monumentally bad publicity theyâve been receiving by those phoren press-wallahs. So, the BBC is out to destroy our culture, CNN is backed by anti-nationals.you get the drift.
Since all of this seems to be failing, they decided today to give up on the windmill, to create some
hawa in favour of the dear leader with the help of a phoren-sounding website.
If anyone has been wondering what Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been up to when the Covid second wave is brutalising India, the answer is blowing in countless data packets.
Several Union ministers and senior BJP leaders have been sharing a column titled “PM Modi has been working hard; don’t get trapped in the opposition’s barbs”.

Death is big news, recovery is not. Do we know that more than 85% people recover without hospitalization and only 5% need critical care. But the larger debate in the country is not about recovery or death: it is about who should be blamed for the pandemic. https://t.co/O3zmOoN935 Amit Malviya (@amitmalviya) May 11, 2021
