1/5.. #OdishaTrainAccident .. How the dice rolls and how PM @narendramodi responded to the tragedy.. The accident reportedly happened at 18.55 on June 2nd. It took 12 hours for Modi to realise the impact and cancel his Vande Bharat ribbon cutting sked for June 4.. hes VERY QUICK!
2/5.. #OdishaTrainAccident .. Having cancelled the VB ribbon cutting.. @narendramodi then had to do something to convey he is looking into the train crash.. so he holds a "high level" meeting with cameras & his PR guys circulate the imagery.. so that you know hes on the job..
3/5.. #OdishaTrainAccident The PR guys tell @narendramodi the imagery of his "high level" meeting invoked more mocking .. after all.. the mockery wasnt unfair.. for a man who ribbon cuts VB trains, goods trains and Twitter handles.. A lukewarm meeting wasnt enough for the irony..
4/5.. #OdishaTrainAccident .. And so in the afternoon.. after the HIGH LEVEL meeting.. @narendramodi decides to RUSH to Odisha.. where they hurriedly make a shamiyana for him to evaluate the accident.. to chants of "Modi Modi"... since the Queen has arrived...
5/5.. #OdishaTrainAccident Finally, heres the beautiful part of @narendramodi trip. Initial reports said signal bungling. NOBODY KNOWS! But like his #BhajanMandli.. Modi grandly implies conspiracy/attack with "guilty wont be spared" (knowing how many corrupt hes punished). END!
