That's what a national W looks like! 🏆 #12YearsOfMakeInIndia

I am hearing that the top bosses at @IndianExpress have given its reporters a clear instruction: file sensational stories. Apparently, major evidence is no longer a prerequisite. If a story sits somewhere on the borderline between truth and falsehood but generates eyeballs, it will fly. IE’s circulation has already fallen drastically over years . The irresponsible “Army coup” story badly damaged its credibility, and post-Covid its circulation reportedly dropped to barely 2 lakh—nowhere close to the scale of papers like TOI (20-25 Lakh per day) They even brought in a @TheLallantop face for their Hindi experiment. That too failed badly it seems. Then look at the pattern: IE stories on Rafale, Pegasus & Hindenburg. Sensational headlines and enormous noise—but when these controversies went through institutional or legal scrutiny, they all fell flat. So perhaps the desperation for eyeballs explains the current race for increasingly sensational stories. I only hope IE’s Hit job is just a desperate battle for circulation, clicks and relevance—and nothing more sinister. I sincerely hope IE is not working hand-in-glove with interests or networks outside India—Because in deep state world delegitimizing any country’s elections is a standard trick. And they keep looking for media houses and oppostion politicians who are ready to come on their rolls. 😔

#WATCH | Delhi: BJP MP Sambit Patra reacts to Indian Express report on 2 ECs objecting to discrepancies in SIR process. He says, "Look at the situation: if the three Election Commissioners do not communicate with each other, if there is no exchange of views or consultation, and they simply agree to everything, then the opposition parties claim it is a dictatorship. They say this government appointed these three commissioners; they just say yes. Now, there have been 14 instances of correspondence among the three of them, official deliberations, as far as we gather from the media. It is not as if the Bharatiya Janata Party goes and reads these letters; rather, reports in the media indicate that official deliberations took place among the three, which is a sign of a healthy democracy...I would say that today, all the opposition parties have fallen into a trap, the trap of claiming that the Election Commission and the government were acting dictatorially. On the contrary, I would say this is pure democracy. Deliberations are taking place, and the Election Commission has stated very clearly in the very first paragraph of its document that, following all official democratic deliberations, the final outcome, the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), was achieved with unanimity. In other words, all three Commissioners were unanimous; there was no difference of opinion or dissent among them. They were all on the same page. In short, the situation today is that neither the Election Commission of India nor any constitutional body in India is under dictatorial rule; they are functioning democratically and, indeed, upholding the country's democracy. By operating democratically, these constitutional institutions are safeguarding democracy..."
