1 Mohammad Zubair & AltNews have more policy influence in the Gulf than the Indian Prime Minister. Obviously this wouldn’t have happened if he’d dealt with AltNews and Co on day 1. But then we know from Godhra, CAA, Delhi Riots & Farm Riots that he refuses to learn the value of
2 Early preemptive action. This pattern is now so consistent: he keeps allowing situations to blow up for electoral gain. We can safely conclude that he doesn’t care how many Indians are killed or injured as long as he wins elections - because there is no “Hindu” alternative.
3/3 His foreign minister was thumping his chest in Europe and the assorted pygmies of the “nationalist” brigade went delirious over the hot air ballooning about how this was a “new india”. Ultimately we get what we deserve. We voted for him & his chicanery. Now endure.
4 I hope you’ve all noticed how every tweet Modi is putting out now has a torrent of abuse in both replies and QTs? Well he doesn’t really care. Note, there was much more anger when he abandoned party workers in Bengal to their fate. Why do you think you are relevant or that your
5 opinion actually matters? You’ve been used and disposed before and you’ll be used and disposed now. Obviously he’ll use Opindia to write something to defect blame somewhere, or get Rahul Gandhi to say something stupid so you’ll get more angry with the INC than him. But the fact
6 remains that your memories are short & your “options” outside the BJP are non-existent. You’re stuck in a monopoly situation: “Modi way or the highway”. Enjoy, because you brought this down on yourselves - worshipping one man & his “infallibility” - over ideology & institutions
7 so what can be done? Well, for starters you need to stop your Modi worship and demand a change in the prime ministerial candidate. I’m sure Amit Shah or Yogi can do a much better job than this past-expiry-date pakoda, who’s outlived his utility. Move on, don’t be like the INC
8 stuck with a deadbeat - deadweight. Unless you’re flexible in performance based rewarding/replacing of leaders you’ll keep getting taken for a ride. But who are we kidding? We all know you’ll be going gaga over Jaishankar’s next speech & Modi’s next “masterstroke” by next week.
9 So we keep coming back to you getting exactly what you deserve. Enjoy.
10 for example - because my beef eating & individual responsibility should absolve Modi of accountability. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 like I said you get what you deserve
11 here’s some more: @RanaAyyub retweeting the Taliban spokesman & another clown who wants Macron to rule India but gets very hurt when you say Modi isn’t up to the job.
