"India's finance minister presented an austere budget last week despite upcoming general elections, a strong display of the administration's confidence that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would return to power for a third straight term. Instead of the usual voter-friendly measures announced in election years, Nirmala Sitharaman's interim budget focused on fiscal discipline and cut subsidies on food, fertiliser and fuel." Reuters. "The Gandhis, Congress and their first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru took the biggest hits in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech in parliament," in which he "blamed Nehru for the situation in Jammu and Kashmir yet again, saying that Kashmiris had to pay a 'heavy price for his mistakes'." NDTV. The elections are to be held in April and May (wikipedia) and by the time the results are declared, Mr Nehru will have been dead for exactly 60 years (wikipedia). Why abuse Mr Nehru when Mr Modi's party the BJP has the support of 35 other parties while the Congress is supported by only 25 parties. TIE. "Did Jawaharlal Nehru call Indians lazy and unintelligent, as alleged by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Parliament? Quite the contrary." Actually, "the message that comes through is the opposite of what Modi made it out to be." In fact, "Narendra Modi remains so far, the only leader to belittle his country and his compatriots in foreign lands while in office. In 2015, after barely a year in office, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told his audiences in Seoul (South Korea) and Shanghai (China) that till he came on the scene, Indians used to curse their destiny for being born in India," wrote Jyoti Punwani. If Mr Modi is the messiah that India has been waiting for, why is "a growing number of young Indians - mostly men from the northern states of Punjab and Haryana, and Gujarat in the West - migrating illegally to countries including the United States, Canada and Britain in search of better-paid jobs? A record 96,917 Indians were caught or expelled last year trying to cross into the United States, up from 30,662 in 2021, according to US Customs and Border Protection." ET. Gujarat is Mr Modi's own state.  "The Modi government has made lying an art form." "People are thus expected to believe as true what is clearly false, and also take at face value mutually contradictory statements." "What's happening here is the plain assertion of power. Our politics has become a contest of who gets to lie and get away with it and who will have to go on a back-foot  when their lies are caught," wrote Shivam Vij. Mr Modi can be exposed only by a blitz on social media by someone living safely in the US, Canada or Britain and speaking in Hindi. It has to be now. Hardly any time left.
