Modi proves his critics wrong

Swapan Dasgupta unloads a hard-hitting pile of words on Modi detractors in his column in the Pioneer.

According to this band of people, Modi can not only affect the police and judiciary of his own state, he can also manufacture mass-consent, force people into voting for him, and coerce the highest court of law in India to deliver judgments in his favour. Democratic mandate be damned, legal process be damned, visible proof of a man’s capacity for good governance be damned — they have their story and they are going to stick to it.
