#Thread Congress kept saying “Garibi Hatao” for 60 years, yet they continued to portray India as a land of poor snake charmers.

For decades, poverty remained nothing more than a political slogan.

From one manifesto to the next, “Garibi Hatao” was a headline, never a mission.

That changed in 2014. Under PM Modi, poverty wasn’t just acknowledged, it was systematically targeted. (1/n)Image
Here’s the transformation in numbers :

👉 Extreme poverty in India dropped from 27.1% (2011-12) to 5.3% (2022-23)

👉And this was despite the World Bank raising the benchmark to $3/day (2/n) Image
Using the older global benchmark of $2.15/day, extreme poverty is now as low as 2.3%, a historic low for India. (3/n)

#Thread Congress has been crying that PM Modi's Vocal for Local initiative has failed, echoing Rahul Gandhi's previous claim that Make In India is not possible

And of course, we can't expect Congress to say anything good about India, so here's the truth, one sector at a time:

1- Sales of Khadi alone have witnessed a jump of 561% in the last 10 years!Image
2- Rs 60,000 crore worth of festive sales during Dhanteras 2023, a record high.

At the same time, China suffered a Rs 1.25 lakh crore loss due to India’s shift towards local products.

That’s not a failure. That’s impact. Image
3- The Indian toy industry, once heavily dependent on imports, is now thriving.

Toy imports have dropped over 52%, while exports have surged by more than 239% in recent years.

🧵THREAD: Congress lecturing on press freedom? Here's what they did to Gujarat Samachar 👇

Today, Gujarat Samachar’s owner has been arrested for massive financial fraud.

Congress is now crying hoarse about press freedom being under attack.

But in 1985, when Gujarat Samachar published what Congress didn't like, they burned the office down. Literally. (1/n)Image

The year was 1985.

Congress ruled everything, from Panchayats to Parliament. Gujarat was no exception.

Madhavsinh Solanki returned as CM with a record 149 seats. KHAM agenda full throttle.

Behind the scenes? Crime, corruption, and chaos. Image
3/
Gujarat Samachar had exposed the failures of police and the administration.

And Congress couldn’t tolerate dissent.

So what did Solanki’s govt do?

Sent policemen to burn down the Gujarat Samachar office.

Not metaphorically. Actually. Fire.Image

1. Distorting India’s Map

Not once, but multiple times , Gujarat Samachar published wrong map of India on its front page attacking on India’s sovereignty. Image

#Thread Congress is doing drama of extending "complete support" to Operation Sindoor.

But the reality-

1- Their leader Bhupesh Baghel blatantly declared the operation 'unsuccessful' Image
2- Rashid Alvi termed it as 'bare minimum' Image
3- Udit Raj opposed the name of the operation, saying it is only linked to a particular religion. Image
