Everything Wrong with Narendra Modi’s Speech in Delhi

1.     Apparently, as an RSS pracharak, he travelled without tickets. And the TTE is a venal cretin for not giving him a berth.

2.     “CWG  ne desh ka naam videsh mein kharaab kiya” – Of course genocide, state sponsored discrimination et al have really made an awesome impression among liberal democracies everywhere. He can’t even get a damn visa!

3.     If BJP comes to power in Delhi, all the multiple governments will vanish. So basically the MCD, the Delhi government and the centre shall be one.  Destroy division of power and federal structure - Fascist much, bitch?

4.     Ridiculously insensitive Sardar joke – 1

5.     China’s railway lines have grown at the twice the rate of India’s.  Well, it is four times the size, didn’t have anywhere near the kind of  railway system the British left us. Besides, numbers of trains, quality of stations, switching to better tracks all form part of railway infrastructure.

6.     He seems to think it’s a big secret that India is a poor country. No way Obama would have known if Manmohan hadn’t told him. Manmohan stands up for the pro people policies and marginal regulations to unhindered plunder, makes Obama agree and Modi thinks its bad diplomacy.
Can’t wait for his nuanced foreign policy. Clearly it’s a discourse of strength and virility for minorities and the poor at home, and bending over backwards for capital, both domestic and foreign.

7.     ‘Dehati Aurat.’ Dude, seriously?  Get your damn sources right. I don’t attribute Arnab Goswami quotes to you.

8.     Foreign Policy Plan (regional)– Head hunting in Pakistan. I hope all the right wing lunatics enjoy Narendra Modi’s-Macabre-Medieval-Crusade

9.     He’s angry about criminals in politics. Amit Shah, Babubahi Bokhariya, Maya Kodani.

10. Modi references the constitution - A man from the RSS (which explicitly does not believe in the constitution), unapologetic for riots, thinks secularism is an animal rights issue.

11. Dirty Team v/s Dream Team – dude, DUSU candidates have more mature slogans than that. Also, who is in this dream team? Modi and… Modi? Who will be the Chief Minister of Delhi? Ah shit sorry, forgot that we were abolishing the federal structure. So Modi. Quite the team.

12. Sardar joke 2

13. His woeful chai selling childhood. Apparently on trains. There is nothing cheaper than exploiting ones past, exaggerating it and using it to put people down. For all his faults Manmohan Singh has never used partition or the things he went through to score brownie points.

14. Tries to be secular for a bit. Ends with a group chant of Vande Mataram – just in case we thought he meant it.
