Ayesha Sadozai | 8 months ago | Reply Modi and BJP are full of lies and over the last 10 years have fooled the emotional and irrational Indian masses specially the majority of caste Hindus . In reality unemployment and poverty and general governmental incompetence and corruption have increased manifold in India between 2014 and present. Only 3-4 Indian elites particularly those linked to BJP have benefited and become richer in real terms whilst 36 of Indians have fallen below the poverty line in this same time from 17 in 2013. Caste and racial and communal hatreds are also at a divisive peak.
