One Year of Modi Administration - How Much Has The New Indian Government Actually Delivered?

[SrNair]

At least two years still need to evaluate his true administrative efficency.

True BUT it is immaterial how irrelevant we (as individuals) feel such comments are. The point is in the world of dirty (filthy) politics such comments are taken, blown up and used to disrupt vital conversations/policies/measures and thus has a very negative affect for India as a whole.


Modi shouldn't be allowing any one associated with his govt to give those losers the ammunition as they can have very unfortunate affects on the big picture.

Mate, I don't even need to click on that link to tell you it is irrelevant what the actual truth/facts are in this case. What is important is what is perceived to be the truth by the public. As they say, if you repeat something enough times it eventually is considered the truth. This is why it is VERY important for their to be far more stringent regulatory systems in place to govern the Indian media, as it stands they can print absolute lies and get away with it.

That was way back before the time of internet and social media. People are a lot smarter these days they tried their best to destroy him ever since Gujarat riots. IT never worked. I doubt its going to work now in the age of social media. Media no longer has the stranglehold in creating the perception.

I'd still say it is important. Not everyone is savvy enough to consult a range of sources before making up their minds on a matter. If the media is reporting something as "news" many will take this at face value even if it is a complete fabrication. As such there is a HUGE responsibility for the media to make sure what they are reporting is 100% the truth to the best of their ability and if they are unable to (as seems to be the case in the Indian media) then some sort of regulatory framework needs to be in place to keep those clowns in check.

Its not about savvy, i think people are simply aware of how the media works and doesn't take anything in face value. Way back during UP elections few years back. Media did everything it could to get Congress into power, from praising Rahul Gandhi to literally everything else. Everyone expected Congress to win in U.P but they ended up with the least amount of seats. That was the time when many realized. Media propganda doesn't work that well.

I've made my point bro. I just think it would be incredibly unwise to discount the power the media has even today.

To be fair to the Indian media (who are clowns at the best of times) they are very respectful to the institutions of India and thus whomever is the PM of India gets the respect they rightly deserve-on the whole.

Here is an example of Indian media respecting Institutions of India in front of British MP.

Not discounting, sure its powerfull, but it is loosing its sheen.

Saw this live on TV and i started laughing my *** off ...

I said on the whole, there are outliers.

Probably a statement from PMO would have set the things right......But for some strange reasons PMO did not do it...... (it gave the public (including me) a sense that probably he agree to some of those stupid remarks)

Why should PMO care about such trivial matters ?

They should especially when things are going on wrong direction........ BTW few statements came from a BJP MP himself....

Indeed, such silence could be interpreted/twisted to mean acceptance of such views. On the other hand one could argue it is beneath the PM of India and his office to respond to such pathetic and trivial comments.


A case of damned if you do, damned if you don't I guess.

Well I look at it little differently, If it was a normal PM (like we had in past) it would have been Trivial to make a comment on these issues, instead some of his junior ministers can set the things right...... But that is not the case with Modi, He literally controls the entire govt......

If every small achievement or positive developments are attributed to PM, then why not this?
