The campaign to paint Rahul Gandhi as a pappu and Modi as some sort of a genius has been one of the biggest tricks BJP has pulled. I have hardly seen Modi speak sense and he has made 10 times worse blunders while speaking compared to Rahul Gandhi. Modi is the biggest moron to be an Indian PM by far just based on what he speaks and what he knows about, completely keeping aside his blunderous governance of the past 8 years.
The BJP latched on to the social media boom way earlier and realized its potential to spread lies and influence public opinion. Part of it was because of Prashant Kishor.

Modiji giving impromptu speeches using a teleprompter and talking about stuff about which he doesn't seem to have any idea about, always reminds me of the fake Mandarin from Iron Man movie.

No one cares about Pegasus.
Even if Modi came out and said that yeah he did buy Pegasus to hunt enemies of BJP he won't lose a single vote.

This is actually true. Most idiots in the country are like if I haven't done any wrong I don't care if the government is snooping us. Then there are morons with the belief that any anti-establishment journalist is actually an anti-national terror sympathyser so they should be spied upon. If despite the terribly worrying position of the economy, India still continues to vote for BJP then there is no saving.

Modiji ne kuch kiya hain to, soch samajh ke kiya hoga.

This is the truth. The people have gone blind and completely gone to the dark side. Even the very educated ones.

I think the RSS/Karnataka govt should also enforce saffron shawls in IT companies in Bengaluru for all Hindus. I have seen many Muslims being allowed in hijabs and burkhas. Let's show the corporate world who rules India. All managers attending overseas client calls should be dressed up like feckin Bhisht as well.

Student hoists saffron flag in Shimoga College, sparks row
Amid the raging controversy over the Karnataka hijab ban, a video has now surfaced that shows a boy at a college in Shimoga climbing up a pole and hoisting a saffron flag.


A major row erupted after Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar reacted to the incident and claimed that the national flag was "replaced" by a saffron flag at the campus.

In a tweet, Shivakumar said: "The situation in some Karnataka educational institutions has gone so out of hand that in one case the National flag was replaced by a saffron flag. I think the affected institutions should be closed for a week to restore law and order. Teaching can continue online."

While The Tricolour is hoisted on that pole at the campus of Government First Grade College at Shivamoga on Republic Day and Independence Day, there was no flag hosted today, local authorities said.

A video purportedly of the incident doing the rounds on social media showed one boy climbing the pole and hoisting a saffron flag while protesting against allowing hijab on the college campus.

Responding to Shivakumar's tweet, the Karnataka BJP demanded evidence from him to prove that the national flag was replaced by the saffron flag.

"If this is true, our government will take strict action against those involved in this incident. If he fails to provide evidence, then he will face legal action," Karnataka BJP tweeted.

With the Karnataka High Court hearing the case over the hijab controversy, and the faceoff between students and the government over wearing hijab, the protests have intensified further.

The funniest thing is seeing the so called "educated centrists" not condemning this as burqa/hijab are regressive practices :lol:
Yeah that's why the saffron mobs are protesting, they are feminists :lol:

Spot on. Several people thought the covid mismanagement debacle from last summer will be enough to kick these scum out of power. That won't happen though, and don't be surprised if they actually win even more seats.

Why blame this poor people when a large part of the media and rich people are helping them. Plus why the workers are called migrants?

It is not just the poor people. Large part of the people who vote, demand zero accountability. We don't demand our MP/MLAs/Ministers/CM/PM to deliver or be thrown out. We vote for reasons other than their work. We vote based on religion, caste, fancy war cries, most media coverage etc etc.

We vote as if we are betting in a horse race and just want to pick the horse that is most likely to win.

I think the parties don't target the middle class instead it is the poor people they target. In democracy, all the votes are same. They may not do nothing to create jobs for middle class, but they need to ensure the poor people's vote. And it is easy to manipulate them.
