Modi’s destruction of india can be divided into three broad phases – demonetisation, 2019 and COVID-19. Demonetisation in 2016 was the first red flag and the Goods and services Tax, intimidated the media into a subservient silence. In the second, after winning another term, he demolished federalism by pulling down as many as nine elected state governments and rewriting our relationship with kashmir and extracting the ram Mandir judgment from the supreme Court. In the third phase he put parliament in the freezer along with the vaccines he never bought, quietly acquiesced to Chinese occupation of our territories and made a horrendous mess of the management of the pandemic. He has systematically blunted the tools of governance and now finds he has no arrows left in his quiver with which to confront the apocalypse facing the nation right now. He can blame no one but himself. Seven years on, modi is still speaking, but the rest of the world has unmasked him. They are waiting for the indian media and voters to call his bluff.
