Modi is one of the most underrated modern villains. An absolute cunt.

The next supposed candidate to replace modi is much worse. Look up Uttar Pradesh and it's chief minister Yogi Adityanath. It's only gonna get worse for India.

His real name is Ajay Singh Bisht.

Yogis shouldn't be in politics. That charlatan deserves to be in jail.

You antinational 😡😡🤬

Edit: Just clarifying this is the excuse RW’s use when you criticize modi/yogi

[–] Eyck_of_denesle 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

That was a pretty old insult. Now they just call you slurs or make islamophobic comments regardless of your religious beliefs

Also there's no proper "left" in India. It's just the RW disguised as left and as soon as a topic related to nationalism arises they show their true colours.

There is a proper left. They do not participate in the electoral process.

He is real life Big Brother from George Orwell's ~~1949~~ 1984

FYI, the book is 1984, and 1949 was the year it was published.

I find it jarring that the world seems to be turning a blind eye, India is almost on the same level of Russia at this point, people are killed in protests, opposition leaders get arrested on bs or even no charges (edit: and it was recently amended by BJP(Modi), 2018 ig, that guilty until proven innocent, I won’t bother explaining why it’s bad), laws are constantly amended to give the ruling party more power, both the ED and EC and the lower level courts are practically extensions of the ruling party and they don’t even bother hiding it, media praises modi 24x7, there hasn’t been a single press conference since 2014, and there is even a new scheme where if you want to participate in any sort of social media, you have to practically get registered with the government, and they can strike down any content they want without any warning

Oh wait, India is a trade partner of the US? Sorry my bad
