There are three mythical allegations made against Modi sarkar.

The first is arrogance of power.

The second is intolerance towards criticism.

The third is cronyism.

Each one is silly when compared to Congress years.

Let me take these one by one.

(1/n)

First of all, the arrogance of 10 Janpath is unmatched in India.

Whether Cong had 44 seats, or ruling with just 145 seats.

See their arrogance even now in Maharashtra after coming 4th.

Modi/Shah have 303 LS seats. That's not arrogance. That's electoral performance.

(2/n)

In case you don't know, 10 Janpath is the largest Lutyens bungalow, bigger than PM's residence.

Only Rashtrapati Bhavan is bigger than 10 Janpath.

And 10 Janpath is allotted to Sonia ji irrespective of her status as MP. Nobody knows why.

So who is arrogant? Modi or Sonia?

Now let us come to intolerance.

Seriously? Can you show me a single article in any media outlet criticizing Sonia Gandhi ever?

The number of articles criticizing Modi/Shah would run into lakhs.

Just the other day, a prominent businessman criticized BJP President Amit Shah to his face. The video is absolutely viral.

Ok, now show me video of a big businessman standing up and criticizing Congress President Sonia Gandhi to her face.

Can you do it? Then who is intolerant?

Now let us come to allegations of cronyism.

Just imagine if right now, the Chief Election Commissioner wrote to the President requesting removal of another Election Commissioner, accusing him of running to the toilet during meetings to take phone calls from BJP?

Now I cannot tell you whether allegations against Naveen Chawla were true or false.

I am just asking what would happen if similar allegations were made by the Chief Election Commissioner today about ruling party interference?

Today if some no name poet returns some award, media jumps on Modi sarkar.

In July 2011, a man of the stature of Dr. Kalam resigned from Nalanda University in disgust.

It was ~11 months before this was even reported in media.

Now compare!
