Modi is the first PM of India who never had any press conference. He shunned the direct questioning by media and therefore he believes in the orchestrated interviews with the questions selected beforehand. Therefore, he uses media to press his point of view, but this time, he exposed his untruths which he was pushing like the truths since the beginning of his regime.

Modi does not want to be evaluated only on demonetisation and GST. The thankless and mindless policy of demonetisation (actually this is a wrong phrase, it should be called note swapping) yielded nothing but caused so much pains to the citizens at large. Then came GST which underwent 100s of changes in a few months altering the policy altogether that it is beyond recognition now. Modi went on committing blunders after blunders.

One of the greatest blunders he did was fueling the communal right and not stopping anti-national and anti-communal forces. When the Indian governance is based on the truth, and the victory of truth, and truth only, the RSS/BJP went on to push the untruths and there is a decline of truth under the Modi regime.

The media blacks out the anti-RSS/BJP news. The news of the death of Justice Loya gets hardly any space in the newspapers, while the court injunction stops the press from printing any news about Amit Shah’s son whose disproportionate rise in the income was questioned.

Modi should have apologised to the nation for his grave policy decisions that put Indian economy on the regressive track and caused loss of life and wealth of India.
