1. Truth, "LIES" in the eyes of the Believer. The RW machinery went into a wild frenzy proclaiming Narendra Modi as the 'Most Popular Global Leader' Good! BUT!
a. What do you think MPGL means?
b. Who used the term MPGL?
Let's begin our journey on Why & How Truth Lies?
2. The Report,
a. is published by Morning Consult
b. it's a US based Political & Data Intelligence firm
c. is called the 'Global Leader Approval Rating'
d. tracks approval ratings of gov leaders
e. covers 22 countries
f. based on a 7-day moving avg of all adults in a given ctry
3. How the RW machinery sprinkles its spice of LIES
a. The report never mentions Most popular Global leader or any related term
b. It's a result of ctry specific ratings
c. Basically Biden's ratings in USA is 40% & Modi's in India is 78%
d. It's active in 22 countries as on date
4. The Survey Truth
a. 78% of global population has not approved MODI
b. Sample Size in USA is 45k (largest)
c. Others, it ranges between 500-5k
d. Int are conducted online
e. In India, it represents literate population
Is the Survey fake? No way! But is the projection by RW in
5. India with an attempt to show Modi as the world's most popular leader accurate? Absolutely false! The media is in cohorts with Team Malviya is spreading the false narrative. This at a time when they discredit global community's reputed opinion shapers like @nytimes @BBCWorld
6. & the #HindenburgResearch's report that puts Mr.Modi's closest ally in dock as the World's biggest corporate conman
The fact is that whether it's BBC or NYT or Hindenburg or Economist, any moment anyone comes with a critical comment on Modi, the go-to strategy for Team Malviya
7. is to discredit the platform rather than counter the allegation with evidence. This is a dangerous sign. Truth & Lies don't matter. Continuation of Cult Modi is their only worship
The opposition has not even questioned this poll, there is nothing to question. Mr.Modi remains
8. the most popular leader in India. Had their been fallacies in the report, the Cong would have countered on the same, not tarnish Morning Consult. Lie & Hate is not Cong policy. Truth & Harmony are!
Come to another recent incident. PM in his LS speech mocked the opposition
9. He claimed that they were unhappy at India's G20 chair. PM LIED! & no one either in the media or even his party dare to correct him. All that the opp had emphasised was that G20 chair is on a rotation basis which it is & not a result of Modi impact. Better focus on opportunity
10. it presents. But PM's blatant LIE has not been expunged whereas Truth repeatedly gets that treatment. It's time for India to demand Truth as it is rather than be waylaid by the Lies that are spread in the name of truth

1. The BJP is not against #ValentinesDay, at least not officially. But almost all the people in India who oppose the day of love will also be found to be supporters of or associated with BJP. Is there a relation? Obviously! For people whose only calling in life is spread of hate Image
2. coming to terms with love cannot come easy
Love demolishes all boundaries, but when one's favourite pastime is to discover Jihad even in Love, any day will just be a doom's day. Hatred guides the cadre of Bajrang Dal, Sri Ram Sena, Karni Sena, some of the vigilante groups one Image
3. can associate with trouble making on V-day. Most of them are affiliated to Sangh. Why so much hate guys?
What are their problems with V-day?
a. Western culture
b. Love Jihad
c. Against Hindu culture
d. Women cannot express love in public
e. Vulgar display
f. commoditisation Image

1. When he's not lambasting pet-panelists on his screen, Arnab Goswami loves to asunder the Lutyen's Media. For Arnab, it's a sad defence of his sorry jounralism, but the term does exist, in spirit, on screen, in black ink. Arnab himself is a ganglord but thanks to @ravishndtv
2. many like Arnab fall into a category of a more aggressive & rabid breed called godi media. But the blue-blood Lutyenites exist in the form of Tavleen Singh. They excel in the art of subtle propaganda/sycophancy/favouritism. Their opinions are crafted with enough criticism to
3. create the perfect bitter chocolate that the emperor so desires. Her current article (link: rb.gy/p7cqre) is another offering laced with finest ingredients of eulogy. The H/L proudly proclaims Modi as a messiah to the poor as no other Cong PM has ever been.

1. All that BJP has against #RahulGandhi are bloopers & evil-edits of his speeches. He speaks, he will commit some gaffes, it's normal. Unlike one who doesn't answer except for his mango cravings. Else all that is rattled against Rahul Gandhi is Nehru, Mughals, Mahatma Gandhi,
2. basically an invented museum of Ripley’s 'Please Believe Not'. Yes, there is the National Herald case & not surprisingly, it is still in court
BJP IT cell over the years went about circulating edited videos of Rahul Gandhi. Its impact, if you were a supporter of,
3.
a. Cong – you were embarrassed of your leader
b. BJP – you happily without thinking went around pressing Fwd button
c. Fence-sitter – lost hope in Cong & settled for BJP
You’re all too trusting. The IT cell has exploited it by creating a web of misinformation around Cong,

1. There is a new sporting league in India. It’s called the MBA-Modi Bachao Aandolan! It's a high TRP extravaganza where Truth is Reduced to Propaganda.
MBA has high TRPs not because it’s exciting. It’s watched because it’s a compulsory sports for the the players & an unavoidable
2. screening for the audience. If you’re not associated with MBA, you’re a definite anti-national
MBA, has just 1 side & 1 set of players. They’re the Modi Defenders (MD) - members, allies of BJP, Sangh, pseudo intell from ORF, etc. All defenders are forwards & attacking.
3. In an interesting twist of rules, referees can be attacked too if they question MD. Referees in case you’re wondering are the institutions, ED, CBI, EC, Judiciary & the likes. The commentary is a war-cry & competing commentators indulge in a show of logic-defying decibels.

1. I’m yet to listen to their speeches in entirety. But from the glimpses of what I watched of #RahulGandhi & #NarendraModiSpeech in the Parliament, I can clearly see the shift of power. The new RG is both brutal in his takedown & benevolent in his outreach & he definitely is two
2. decades ahead of Modi. PM in comparison looked more an injured hyena whining in pain rather than the tiger roar his supporters expect out of him. He definitely seems to be advancing in his Me/Myself/I megalomania. Almost felt pity (that’s the kindest NaMo quote I’ve). Round 1
3. of RaGa Vs. NaMo face-off in the run up to 2024 GE is a KO victory for the younger politician. Modi looked jaded & rattled while Rahul displayed great focus & calmness. Perhaps Adani is indeed a ‘dukhati nabz’ for the PM but the way it brought the entire machinery to come to
