People don't realize how differently the pandemic would have been covered if a liberal was PM right now.

In New York, 6000 Covid deaths were covered up in nursing homes.

Liberal NY governor got so much praise that news anchors said they are feeling sexually attracted to him.
Now imagine: if media can hide thousands of bodies in a place like New York, do you see how easily they would have covered up things in India?

The liberal governor got so much positive coverage he made millions selling his book on how to fight the pandemic!
In India as well, have you seen a single story of mismanagement from liberal ruled Maharashtra?

Four deadly hospital fires in about a month, but according to media, every single thing is working perfectly.
Just think: even if you believe in "best CM" you know that somewhere someone... some police wallah, some DM, some officer ... someone is bound to make a mistake.

But in 1 year of pandemic, not even 1 govt official in whole of MH has got anything wrong!

Amazing.
Imagine in an exam with lakhs of candidates sitting and every single person gets 100/100 ... will you suspect paper leaked or will you assume they are all geniuses?

Ditto goes for MH admin...either each one of lakhs of govt employees is a genius...or media is covering for them.

In this entire second wave, the only party other than BJP that got any criticism was AAP.

You know why?

Because AAP made some deft soft Hindutva moves.

Ecosystem took away their protective umbrella.

Sena, Cong, TMC, CPM, etc have not got even 1 line of criticism.
Now you can say Kejriwal was "opportunistic" in his soft Hindutva, but in politics, 99% is opportunism.

Ecosystem can forgive everything, but they cannot forgive even a slight pro-Hindu tilt.
This is the reason India has 100s of "secular" parties but just one Hindutva party.

Being in secular camp is shield that protects against all criticism.

Nobody dares leave the shield.

Kejriwal is a risk taker. He thought why not try copying BJP a little? He is paying a price.

Headline from The Hindu on Feb 15, 2021:

"Mahapanchayats giving timely impetus to farmers’ protest"

Ecosystem was gleefully sharing pictures of crowded mahapanchayats held all across Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and UP.

Who gave people the message to stop worrying about Covid?
See Wire senior editor Arfa Khanum reporting without a mask from "mahapanchayats"

Who gave the message to people to stop worrying about Covid?
See coverage of "mahapanchayats" from NDTV to Times of India to Indian Express.

Who gave the message to people to forget the pandemic?

Few months ago, ecosystem was proudly showing the whole world that "world's largest protest" happening in India, by farmers

For 3 months, people saw saturation coverage on TV screen that told them not to worry about pandemic

But now it's Modi's fault that everyone became casual
See CNN on March 6, 2021

What message was this sending to people all over India?

Upshot of the US election is this.

Extreme left thought whole country was with them as a reaction to Trump.

This turned out to be totally wrong. (1/n)

In retrospect, the left was looking at "mahaul" over data.
From the beginning of the Democrat nomination, the far left thought Bernie would sweep.

But Iowa itself rejected Bernie and moderate Pete Buttigieg won.

(2/n)
As the nomination progressed, Communist Bernie fell behind miserably.

Nomination went to hardcore establishment guy Biden.

Far left wanted a Communist as the nominee. Ordinary democrats wanted Biden.

Understand that mother of all reforms is being unleashed in India right now with farm sector ordinances

Don't let Communists stop this like they stopped Land Acquisition Bill

You want GDP growth? Support REFORM

Be vocal

Don't let jholawallahs capture the conversation

First understand how existing system exploits the farmer.

A farmer cannot sell his own produce anywhere. He has to go to the local sarkari mandi (APMC), pay a commission and sell.

Do I have to tell you the kind of mafia and corruption in these mandis?

(2/n)
So Farming ordinance removes these requirements completely. A farmer can sell his produce to *anyone* anywhere in India.

Second, no more commissions to APMC mafia.

They can buy and sell on online platform with ZERO commission.

How "environmental laws" left by UPA have stopped 900 km of strategic road near China border in Uttarakhand.

Remember how Modi govt decided to build Char Dham road.

"Activists" got together, sued about "environmental impact" and won in Supreme Court.

(1/n)
Under environmental impact laws, it would take decades to get permission for a two lane road in Himalayas.

Govt used a loophole by claiming it was not a single 900 km project, but many projects each of less than 100 km (which do not require environment impact studies)

(2/n)
But activist groups got together and sued. They won in court. Now the road is reduced to single lane!

Who is the winner here? China, of course.

Do you think China is stopping its roads near India border because of "environment impact"?
