Was reading this ill-researched Asia-Nikkei article on "How Modi won India's elections but paralyzed the economy" - I found a bunch of genius ideas:
1. Godrej safe sales are directly proportional to how well the Indian economy is doing.

2. It says Muslim citizens in India have been marginalized & disenfranchised by govt's persistent attempts.
The same piece later mentions how "Aam Aadmi Party won with an overwhelming majority"
Remember Amanatullah Khan? He won by over 70,000 votes from Muslim dominated Okhla.

3. They say that Muslim immigrants have been DENIED citizenship in India.
Of course, fast-tracking citizenship for Non-Muslims is equivalent to altogether denying citizenship to Muslims.
R.I.P. logic.

4. The headline - "How Modi won India's elections but paralyzed the economy" should have instead been
"How Modi won India's elections, paralyzed the economy, and then that economy probably went to participate in Paralympics and stood as the FIFTH largest economy in the world."

5. Because Ridham did not receive any calls, is probably bad at his job, might even be delusional - we gotta take their word that anti-CAA protests have slumped FDI.
Do you think that Shaheen Bagh biryani types are capable of impacting FDI inflows which were at record highest?

6. Not enough infrastructure spending? ARE YOU SERIOUS?
- Modi-led NDA government has spent over Rs 50 lakh crore on infrastructure in the past 6 years
- ₹100 trillion to be further spent on infrastructure creation
- Approx 1.5 crore homes provided under PMAY so far

7. So they confirm that the 'Gujarat model' did exist!
10-20 years down the line they shall accept post-2014 growth spurt for India too. Maybe to deny a much bigger elephant in the room. ($5 trillion economy - *cough cough*)

8. Housing in Mumbai is not a simple supply-demand scenario. Sky-high prices & availability of affordable homes make people locate to suburbs. MMRDA has itself claimed that speculation is the biggest cause for housing units lying vacant. This is how real estate works!!
9. Rahul Bajaj managed to rant at the Home Minister Amit Shah for 5 straight minutes. The irony? He was referring to 'lack of openness to criticism'!
Also, FM Nirmala Sitharaman never described Bajaj's observations as 'anti-nationalist'!
Check her words.

10. Gautam Adani, the chairman of Adani Group himself clarified that the aircraft used by PM Modi was not for free and instead a provision of service. Btw, Congress uses GMR aircrafts on a commercial basis too!
11. The Asia-Nikkei piece pins blame on Mr Modi for the automobile slump.
While we are at it, let us also blame Mr Modi for the global automobile slump in China, Europe, the US & Germany too!

12. "India's credit rating has downgraded to a precarious status one step above junk," says the piece.
Sure.
The credit ratings for India major credit rating agencies set with a 'stable outlook' & 'positive outlook' are "one step above junk"!

13. "Samsung assembles SOME handsets in Noida, outside Delhi"
The sheer audacity of the lies!
Mock 'Make in India' all you want but Noida's Samsung factory is the world’s largest! Its set to produce about 30% of an est. 100 cr mobiles the country will produce p.a. by 2025!

14. A deliberate error of omission?
The piece very smartly mentions Deepak Parekh's initial criticism of the Modi govt in its 1st tenure, but skips the part where he turned around & heaped praises on several occasions since then lauding "Modi’s transformational reforms"
