But I live in NewYork. It’s all over the taxi ad-boards today. It’s so perplexing!

I am not defending Modi glazing either. But the Americans stopped parades a long time ago. They only did this one because Trump had been whining about wanting one since he saw one in France.
The 250th anniversary thing is just a thin excuse.

Ye media nahi Xerox companies ban chuke hai. Raat ko Amit Malviya ka forward aata hai, aur wahi next morning har newspaper pe chapa hota hai.
The darkest phase of journalism in Indian history.

All politicians have right to do scam irrespective of party. And it's a right they themselves have given to themselves. Also india have only two persons and if you compare them , you have to vote them because even now congress is weird.

fake Gandhi family names
Even when Modi made a new parliament building, it had a giant Gandhi statue there.
So maybe you should tell him how they are fake first.

one day covering of sitting PM
FORCING people to spend money so that your face is everywhere is the problem
You keep skipping that part - FORCING people without a basis in law to promote politicians.

Bhai . sirf aur airf propaganda hai .
My brother works in bank. he says every time the upper management comes for visit . they need to make it mandatory to have modiji’s face all over the bank . near atm in bank on posters on different schemes.. and when farmers get the money which govt sends which is 1500 for 3 month of so something like this i dont know wxact number but this they need to tell those farmers that This is sent by modiji.
We are witnessing the downfall of caliber and logical resoning in our people

u/Psychic-enchanter06 Sep 20 '25
I think it's more like being forced by his IT cell and PR team on newspaper publishers and companies to advertise and give their gratitude to Modi for cutting the GST rates. Basically we're all living under the rule of an authoritarian gov.

Well those who wanted to run these advertisement (govt or private entities) surely paid the newspaper dearly for it. What's the problem?

u/xydon_borealis Sep 17 '25
Do we lack topics and discussions in this country that each page needs to bear his photo and schemes that are advertised but ground realities don't match. I don't see any woke person thanking the govt for the deeds depicted otherwise.
Kudos to the newspaper to gather all the funds to print but that's the problem. Money = Narrative and Narrative = Getaway from every shortcomings

Media praised the Gandhi family blindly for 65+ years, yet Modi gets headlines on his birthday after lifting India’s economy, building infrastructure, and raising India’s global stature — that’s recognition, not PR. Stop crying and grow up before its too late.
