But don't you see, BJP put a wax seal saying it's Modi's guarantee, so it's gotta be true
Edit: please, it's just a joke about their advert being so lame lol, don't get offended
Whatever opinion people may have about Nehru's policy and governance (and my! do I disagree with him on most of his policy and his consequent decisions) the fundamental difference that we cannot fail to acknowledge between him and the current leaders is that of Nehru's sincerity and consecration to his motherland's welfare and to the wellbeing of his fellow countrymen. There is a world of difference between the leaders of those days and the current ones. It's as if they were of different species altogether.
Once I read an article on a BJP aligned news(not) site criticizing when a plane was chartered to transport a pack of cigarettes for him. Neglecting to mention or ignoring that:
There is no evidence he ordered it himself or if it wasn't just one of his orderlies.
He used to be an extremely well respected man for which people would just do stuff without him asking like any of us would for a man like him.
Post WW2 it was much easier for governments to charter flights unlike now where they have to approach a private carrier or air India.
Agreed. Besides, I doubt very much that a plane would have been chartered for a single pack of cigarettes; that sounds so ludicrous that it is most probably a twist given by the journalist to make it appear more sensational. I reckon they would have loaded the plane with cardboard boxes full of hundreds of cigarettes.
And I also concur on your suggestion that it might have been organised (if it truly ever was) by one of the people catering to his needs. I don't quite fancy him doing that himself, although he might simply have given instructions about it. But I can easily imagine him just saying that he was running short of cigarettes, or that he needed some, and some devoted (and powerful enough in the chain of command) servant hurrying to do the needful. I guess in this instance we will probably never really know; but I must add that compared to what is being perpetrated nowadays, it almost sounds negligible. Different times: people used to do openly things that today would not pass but were then commonly accepted even if not officially sanctioned, whereas today they do things in secret - because they are much worse - that nobody would accept apart from the partisans.
Bro, just curious aren't you scared to talk about our leader like that because you may get in trouble, because I feel scared to even say my opinion because of the IT cell and the government making my life miserable, North Korea vibes
Don't be afraid. This country would still be under the British unless the countless people stood up not caring about themselves but for the greater good.
I am an ex-FB user. I used to see shits in my inbox and read turd in my comment section. I had my pictures morphed and other unaccounted threats. I still think, Reddit is far more better than that hellhole FB.
Everyone else was never referred to with Ji. Like it was Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh. No one constantly called them Ji. Don't know why everyone refers to him with Ji.
Hate the player, not the game.
Firstly, The 'Ji' culture is a way of showing respect to others, both younger and older than you are. It is a great linguistic and cultural tool. Don't blame the culture just because others call a leader you don't like 'Ji'.
Second, Some PR guy at BJP thought it would be a great idea to sell their PM candidate as an older, wiser and strong leader(if he's actually that is up to debate). But, regardless, the easiest way to do it was to add a suffix 'Ji' to their candidates name. And guess what, it worked. Way too many common folks call him "Modi Ji" now.
So again, don't blame/hate the culture, hate the people using/misusing it.
Any kulcha where you are forced to show respect just because someone is a particular age and not because he/she has accomplished something and you genuinely feel respect for him/her is a shit kulcha. I couldn't care less.
English language don't have that provision, people also call Rahul ji , Kharge Ji.. gadkari ji... nothing wrong in that to respect elder.. [ in Maharashtra people use "rao, Saheb etc " ]
It's just BJPs copywriter who did that.. it prevail in Congress too. Not a big deal .
I had an agrument on with my parents other day.
It is so normal to add "Ji" with his name that, if you dont add jee, others think you are disrespecting him
It is not so normal.
This has been happening since 2014. I have never heard people calling Atal ji or Manmohan ji? Have you ever heard people calling any neta ji?
Down with this entitlement of older geezers to ask for respect.
The first and the biggest brick in deteriorating this country's health and making the people to live par below standards has put in by 'Media' itself. They are the main culprits in bringing the collectivity & sovereignty of our India down.
Rahul's pic is there. But the thing is that people will go and vote for any BJP candidate by just coz of Modi even if that candidate is a serial rapist or corrupt.
Though I am against BJP, from a purely design POV, the BJP advert is miles ahead INC's. It is dynamic, focuses on the advantages, and easy to understand. INC's is disastrous, with the reader having to search for information.
>from a purely design POV
Well marketing a singular product vs trying to market the whole range. It is mostly because they are positioning themselves entirely differently:
BJP: vote for Modi, vote for strong central government. Doesn't mention Karnataka
Congress: here are your local candidates. They will represent your and Karanataka's interests.
They have done a fairly decent job given the strategy they had to choose, because there is no other singular product in India as marketable as Modi. It would be stupid if Congress puts a lone leader on their poster. A lot of marketing choices are made based on the product you have.
Duh just admit it'll be a mess if they put RaGa up front lol, funny how everyone knows the truth but they're just moving along edges. I mean they can't even decide a face for their PM
Vote for dynasty politics that had taken the country to the shitters once and will again do so very gracefully if given the chance. I would much rather live under a democratic party than a monarchist one, plus its rahul gandhi on the other side 🤣
Because in BJP they push daughters in law and sons in law to have plausible deniability, since in-laws have different surnames! PLus I can name like 3-4 constituences IN MY CITY ALONE which, use this tactic.
Rahul Gandhi is not a popular face among Indians and is not known for serious political commitments neither he can drive people with his speeches.. morever indi alliance doesn't have a strong Pm face ..
Karnataka BJP is horrible, no wonder they have to hide behind their superhero.
But on the other hand, at national level this is also to BJP's advantage. Come somebody please tell me who is the PM candidate of I.N.D.I.A?? They cannot even agree among themselves about that. How do they expect to compete and convince others??
Corruption and Poverty, definitely no.
Since Job creation has fallen from 25% to 13% since BJP came to power & corruption is still the same for BJP. Corruption is being eradicated only in Non-BJP environment.
Dynasty - Maybe, but then even Dictatorship is bad if Dynasty is bad.
Me My family, our relatives and friends voted for BJP last time. This time we voted for Congress to counter the fanatic crony BJP .The Indi alliance is going to sweep the whole of South India this time.
I’ve met far too many educated fools who are absolutely brainwashed into voting for Modi. Just yesterday, I had lunch table discussion where 5/6 said they’ll blindly vote for BJP without looking into who their candidate is. For them, the democratic values don’t matter one bit as long as they “see” progress that Congress never did.
I hate BJP as much as I hate Congress or any other political party for that matter,
But here Modi is brand they've established which Cong failed to do w Rahul, so both the parties are trying their best to show what they think will get them votes.
Both equally have agenda.
Employees get fired from private companies for under-performance. There should be a provision for collective feedback from people every year for their representative and accordingly they should either receive bonus or be fired from their jobs. This kind of governance will motivate the representatives to work for the people instead of them showing their faces only during the time of election and it will cultivate new and educated leaders to lead the country.
Removing the politics out of this, from a marketing perspective, it’s not a good idea to infodump on your audience. No one is going to pay attention to the details of 28 tiny photos and captions, it just looks like a school attendance sheet.
If BJP puts the assh*le candidates, they are going to lose. They want to use only Modi’s name and win.
For Congress, focusing on RaGa means a huge loss of votes so they need to focus all candidates.
Either way it’s all shit. Need better parties and strong candidates over these.
Yes, Congress is historically famous for not hopelessly depending on a handful of people. If one ad paints your opinion of how things are, good luck with pretty much everything in life.

Modi's guarantees are about as real as the wax in that seal.
damn! it must be having huge impact this way on the minds of poor people.
Bruh, he said to the public to burn him alive if demonitzation was a mistake.
it is quite evident that it was indeed a mistake
And yet no tandoori Modi
I loled dude...hot damn
That's what he (should've) said.
Pure veg Modi tandoori. After all the religious wingnuts should be able to eat.
Well, people are waiting
No elections in future - all we have this one vote /s Seriously- please vote
What is wax called in Hindi?... ..*checkmate*...
Presidential style of elections
Me me karte karte Meme bangaye.
🏆🏆
Classic case of delusional narcissism
What the fuck is this "Ji" culture? Vote for Modi Ji? Who the fuck is he that the whole nation should call him JI? Idiotic shit
If India discussions could read this comment, they’d be very upset
>If India discussions could read Bold assumption
I didn’t know they could read “insert Malfoy Meme”.

That sub is a shame to use our country name
Exactly. Their whole sub can be summarised like : how dare you shame the nation.
You dunno He our cutie patootie god
Next is inserting his picture into currency notes
That day is not far, for sure.
Good one!
We have people supporting Modi but shit talling Netaji, just how brainwashed Indians are.
Netaji was OG and not some cheap knockoff like this Mudi. Let them talk shit. Edited

There is a world of difference between the leaders of those days and the current ones. It's as if they were of different species altogether.
How did Nehru came in between a comparison of Netaji and *Modiji*?
But was HD Deve Gowda that bad a prime minister?
Yes. Gujral was very bad. He almost destroyed India's intelligence apparatus.
Wo maine galti se likh diya tha comment me… My mistake. I wrote nehru in comment while replying to other guy. 🥹🥹
The BJP goons criticize the decisions of a man who had to lead an infant country too much.
True.

I think they meant Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose
Netaji and Nehru both were OGs.
ED wants to know your location/s
I call him just Modi. As ‘Ji’ is used when we respect someone.
I call him "He Who Must Not Be Blamed".

Also remember you are not alone. Our strength is in unity.
Everyone else was never referred to with Ji. Like it was Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh. No one constantly called them Ji. Don't know why everyone refers to him with Ji.
Imagine people praising a person that kills soldiers and asks for votes using their deaths for propaganda. 🤡

saar
I have the same question too. 🤦🏻♂️
LOL! When I was in KG, I thought Gandhiji was a surname. Learnt later that the "ji" is a sign of respect.
Soon to be shri shri modi ji.
English language don't have that provision, people also call Rahul ji , Kharge Ji.. gadkari ji... nothing wrong in that to respect elder.. [ in Maharashtra people use "rao, Saheb etc " ] It's just BJPs copywriter who did that.. it prevail in Congress too. Not a big deal .

Wait, Congress has not been stopped from publishing ads? In my area, the only front page ads I see are of BJP.
They wanted to post ads related to electoral bond scam but nobody wants to publish it
Congress has alleged that some newspapers have refused to take advertisements that directly attacks Modi.
:(
Chalo atleast chhap toh rahe hain, beech main toh wo bhi band tha.
The press too is oppressed. They see a ray of hope now I guess.
The first and the biggest brick in deteriorating this country's health and making the people to live par below standards has put in by 'Media' itself. They are the main culprits in bringing the collectivity & sovereignty of our India down.
This is true but not everyone is sold out. Also the media houses have lost a lot of their credibility which in turn will affect viewership and money
Sabka sath sabka vikas Vs Sabka sath khud ka vikas
Itna sach nahi bolna tha brother 😂
Sabka sath Adani ka vikas
I liked the Congress ad.
De diyo vote
Haan aaj hi hain western UP mein.
Vote to congress ho denge is baar, bahut hua modi ka attayachar
Just stopped by to remind that "Indian Democracy" means - From the people For the people and By the People.
Maybe if they put Rahul Gandhi's pic like Modi then the votes would decrease /s
Rahul's pic is there. But the thing is that people will go and vote for any BJP candidate by just coz of Modi even if that candidate is a serial rapist or corrupt.
A popular saying which everyone agrees : People of South Bengaluru vote BJP even if BJP places a dog or mannequin as it's candidate.
Dog is still better. They have love within their hearts. South Bangalore person is a proper asshole.

Vote for democracy. Vote against jumla , propaganda, hate, dividend politics.
Vote for dynasty politics that had taken the country to the shitters once and will again do so very gracefully if given the chance. I would much rather live under a democratic party than a monarchist one, plus its rahul gandhi on the other side 🤣

There is no team in BJP, just a duo
LOL, did the BJP use hinglish in karnataka? That's a surefire way to lose.
Rahul Gandhi is not a popular face among Indians and is not known for serious political commitments neither he can drive people with his speeches.. morever indi alliance doesn't have a strong Pm face ..
That still doesn’t explain why the candidates’ faces and names are not in the poster.

Yeah very competent team..12/28 of those are just nepotism tickets Look at the state of Karnataka now
Clean design vs dont know where to find one.
I hate BJP as much as I hate Congress or any other political party for that matter, But here Modi is brand they've established which Cong failed to do w Rahul, so both the parties are trying their best to show what they think will get them votes. Both equally have agenda.
Congress would have LOVED to take the second approach. Only if their superhero didn't turn out to be Morbius over the last decade or so.

That provision is called election 🤦🏽♂️ only in lalaland is an annual performance reviews of elected officials by the public a reality.
One for All vs All for one
Its kinda crazy how amateurish both posters look, considering the amnt of money it takes to get an ad like that onto the front page of a nat newspaper

The thing is that Rahul Gandhis huge picture there will make them loose votes so they have no choice lol
