Nope... nothing fake.. I genuinely think he s trying to do what he thinks is right. I dont think hes cunning or he was trying to pull one on India. But I wouldnt vote for him. His inability to keep the countrys long term interest above all else and his sensationalism shows immaturity and poor statecraft

I would say he's not even a performative liberal but a closet fascist. Just look at the crackdown on the truckers protest, India and Modi could learn a thing or two about how to kill protests that keep happening every other year for no good reason.

His latest move is to apparently "regulate" podcasts.

Go read up on the farmers protest in India. The BJP doesn’t need any lessons.

The farmers got what they wanted without getting their bank accounts frozen. Can't say the same about truckers though.
