Wire Wrap Ep 14: Modi 'Never did Hindu Muslim', Free and Fair Elections, Yogi Factor & Swati Maliwal

Prime minister Narendra Modi who has in recent weeks crafted his campaign almost entirely on targeting Indian Muslims has now said in an interview to Network 18 that he never referred to Muslims while talking about those who produced more children and that the day he starts talking about Hindu Muslims he will consider himself unfit for public life. A day later he promptly went on to state in another rally that Muslims are the congress favourite vote bank and they will allocate 15% resources to Muslims if voted to power.
On this week's The Wire Wrap, Sravasti Dasgupta is joined by The Caravan's editor-in-chief Hartosh Singh Bal, and author and journalist Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay to discuss Modi's anti-Muslim pitch, the conduct of 'free and fair' elections in the four phases that have concluded, BJP's Yogi factor in its succession plan, and much more.

Mistake is on us...we allowed Modi to think that majority of us can be fooled.

DOUBLE STANDARD MODI. There are 2 faces of Modi. It’s a Shame to be even called as PM.

Kejriwal has played a good game by bringing up the Modi Yogi confusion

[@longerodds5077]

😂 BJP wont lose 1 vote.

[@sukhpreetsinghmankoo]

Meghnath from #newslaundry has his own youtube channel @meghnerd . He described it perfectly . why Modi refers to himself in 3rd person. He explained this mental condition in which a person literally thinks that there are two different person/personality. He explained it with an example. Recently @deshbakht also posted an video about 2 MODI's. One modi is saying something else and another modi next day contradicting that statement. Gujrati has lost his mind. That's why kejriwal is saying it's time for retirement.

[@shrestaassociates4063]

Both the speakers are upto the point with facts.

Modi is really opposing the journalists fraternity, the consequences of such indiscriminate actions Modi is completely unaware. Now that something is coming out, from supreme court, and Delhi police, ed, it, are limping between Modi and the constitutional responsibilities. Let's wait till the end. Thank you the wire and the effort taking to make the electorate in all matters

Another factor is of treating Diversity as a Divide& Rule aspect of Britishers which Indian Demography has Suffered or even else where too in the world . Why this Formula of Divide & Rule got successful then ? Solution to the question is given by the Demography that is turned irresponsible due to Emotional foolishness, posing to be uneducated Literates , Lack of Technical Leadership Education & Disorganised Learning un learning Principles adopted by the Demography. Even the learned wise, too have turned to pose themselves as Uneducated ! Education gives Value, Ethics & Ethos for enhancing Positivity ! Yet, it is sad to note that Indians have never learnt from History but used Jugad Technology since 1989 by treating Democracy as a big Joke ! These aspects are mostly progressed and qualified by the BJP equally by the INC who have deteriorated their ethical standards ! Though now INC is getting on ethical lines as earlier to fight the rogue elements , the gusto of action reaction principle is unequal at certain aspects ...

Will you please clarify who are PASHMONDA MUSLIMS?

[@giridhark9889]

I wonder if the British really divided India? Wasn't India already divided by the Manuvadi Brahmins in the name of Castes before the British?Thus, divide and rule is the policy of the Manuvadi Brahmins. Of course people like Basava of the 12th Century could be an exception and such were not Manuvadi. The denial of opportunities has been part of Indian system since the time of Mahabharata itself. For example, Karna and Ekalavya incidents. Of course did Mahabharata really happen if so when is a different question. Did it happen before Buddha or after Buddha is another question. Because this will reveal from what time did the caste system exist in India. If the Mahabharata war happened after Buddha it will be very easy to find the remains of lakhs of humans and animals which died in that war. But as we cannot find them we can only conclude Mahabharata happened many thousands of years ago and Indians were divided as well as discriminated against each other since thousands of years ago. By the way did the British really divide India or just give equal political, educational and employment representation to all castes and religions in their government and systems you only decide you hypocrites..!! Finally a question for you - when was Manusmriti written and implemented in India? Can anyone tell ? Caste system existed since then and India was divided since then. In his speech to the Constituent Assembly on November 25, 1949, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar said that people divided into thousands of castes cannot be a nation. He believed that the nation is a delusion. He also said that the nation is still divided by caste-based hierarchies, violence, bigotry, and discrimination.

Doubting EVM has become a joke now. Either produce irrefutable evidence to support the claim that "EVMs are rigged" or just focus on the Hindu-Muslim talking points which have been anyway done to death with BJP gaining every time when opposition brings it up.

The PM is correct. He actually criticizes the Indi alliance, Rahul family party in particular and not the Muslim brothers and sisters. If a teacher prefers and pampers a few students for favors, special attention, any criticism made by the other students of the teacher is directed towards the teacher and not the students. It is surprising your IQ couldn't even distinguish the above distinction.
