This is classic MoShah playbook. Chronology samajhiye! The Centre last year helped Andhra CM Jagan Reddy launch a multi crore scam investigation against his arch rival Chandrababu Naidu who was eventually arrested in Sept 2023. Today BJP dumped Jagan to ally with Naidu!(Contd)

Why has there not been a single press conference for a decade? @jaffrelotc the India spoken of by Modi, the rosy picture, does not exist in reality, the economy, on China, there are serious questions. So all questions must be dodged for the illusion to stay Just "one-way traffic"
