If you vociferously supported Modi (not just vote - but vocal support) in 2014, I have a trust deficit with u.

Unless u lived in a cave, u couldn’t possibly be unaware of his crimes.

U may think u r “saving this country” today but u were complicit.

This isn’t about the Congress or any party.

It’s about u first cheering for Modi & now viciously targeting the Opposition while also criticizing Modi & playing a warped odd-even game.

It’s not very trust-inspiring.

You might win Delhi elections for ur party by doing so but u r playing the same dangerous game that u did with that Anna Hazare “movement” in 2012.

I criticize the Congress when it dithers. Why? Because I want it to be stronger. Unlike u who will never vote for it.

I’ve NEVER in my life supported Modi. And I do my work all alone without a party backing me. My “high command” is my conscience.

So if you cheered for Modi in 2014, at least have the courtesy to apologize for that. And know that I’ll continue to call it out.

PS: For those asking about “change of heart” - yeah sure I have no problems with that.

But if your “change of heart” involves drawing false equivalences between Modi/BJP/RSS & Opposition parties, then sorry the trust deficit isn’t going anywhere.

Bcoz u haz an agenda.
