Media will make any fool a star just to spite PM Modi Recently, media made "economist" Arun Kumar a star again with his bizarre claims on India's GDP Do you know how big a fool he is? Here he says our economy cannot grow because people are using tractor in place of bullocks!

No, but he was Prime Minister of India It was his job to keep an eye out for global crisis that would almost certainly hurt India In that, he failed to predict 2008 crisis And remember media told us that Rajan predicted the crisis So Dr. Singh even ignored Rajan's warning.
@AbhishBanerj Was Manmohan the PM of US?

The scariest part here is how little this is known. Just think...lakhs of court prosecutions, home raids...everything is technically open. But not one journalist dares to report on it. Because if you attack BBC, your media career will be over. Which journalist will dare?

Something amazing is happening But most media is silent because they are all friends of BBC Most people don't know how BBC is funded by looting common people Everyone with a TV in UK must pay a fee to BBC, whether they watch or want or not Lakhs of people are prosecuted each

Why is senior journalist Maya Mirchandani misleading about BBC funding? No, BBC doesn't just take a fee from those who watch BBC BBC extorts license fee from anyone who has a TV No choice given Lakhs of people in UK are prosecuted for refusing to pay!

A small but significant election in Kerala Thiruvananthapuram corporation elections held today Left has 52 and BJP 35 in current 100 member House So BJP has a serious chance of winning mayor post! If that happens, liberals might say Thiruvananthapuram is in "North India"

On top of that, UPA trolls even today praise that amazing growth rate of 10% in 2010. LOL ... it was artificial growth created for 1 year by mortgaging our entire future with fiscal stimulus...

The biggest stroke of luck that UPA got was that Modi govt could not bring out white paper on condition of economy in 2014. How could they? If they had disclosed the real situation, confidence would have melted down even more ... and then it would make Modi's own job harder.

No, he didn't. Dr. Singh's pumped a huge stimulus that artificially raised growth for exactly 1 year (2010) This caused runaway inflation, collapsed growth, destroyed economy which led to fall of UPA By 2014, Raghuram Rajan was proposing to print Rs 10,000 notes ... go check

I agree. Pakistan and sub-Saharan Africa never faced colonial loot. Only India faced it. That is why India was poorer than Pakistan until 2007 and poorer than sub-Saharan Africa till 2015 Thank you Congress for saving us.

Liberals taking potshots at Atal ji, Advani ji or even S P Mookherjee are making a basic mistake No BJP supporter sees these people as gods It is liberals who claim Nehru-Gandhi family is divine and have been worshiping them for 100 yrs ... and will continue for next 100 yrs!

False! Media told me that Raghuram Rajan predicted the 2008 crisis Why did Dr. Singh ignore the prediction? Either that, or there was no prediction and media made it up later to glorify UPA's beloved Raghuram Rajan. Both cannot be true at same time.
@AbhishBanerj Manmohan Singh did not predict the 2008 global crisis, but neither did the IMF, US Fed, or top economists worldwide. What mattered more: India stayed stable due to cautious banking rules and timely fiscal and monetary action.
