So, did he choose to let the migrants be while being fully aware of the fact that he had it him to stop them and their sufferings? And, hey, did not this government first deny the presence of any migrant workers on the highways and later said that it wasn’t aware of their sufferings and even their deaths? So how come now it is all coming back?You do not have to be Mark Zuckerberg or need to invest in Pegasus Spyware to know of the might of BJP and its capacity to influence people on various digital platforms. The ruling party’s competence and infra-structure of managing social media is light years ahead of all the other parties combined.Yet it chose not to use this strength to disseminate information so as to stop the workers from hitting the highways in the summer of 2020? Or is this huge machinery exclusively for just discrediting anyone opposed to their ideology and not for the benefit of the nation? Awkward questions these!This piece is not in defence of our man AK. And no, he doesn’t get any brownie points for simply being attacked by the supreme leader. Regular readers of Delhi Musings would know how he and his actions fuel our satirical digs. That this one piece is more of a probing rant is perhaps reflective of the agony of seeing our savvy PM use the floor of the Parliament for an election-rally kind of speech.God save the nation.(The writer blogs at stateofdelhi.in)
