How they shift the goalposts when it comes to Modi…

Activists: Take action during riots! Take action during riots!
Modi enters…
Activists: Action not enough. Own moral responsibility and resign! Get hanged if possible!

Commentators: Save Hindi and other Indian languages. English is spoiling it all.
Modi enters…
Commentators: Ye kya India chalayega? Ye to English bhi nahin jaanta!

Civil society: We need a firm strong iron hand to solve the problems of this country.
Modi enters…
Civil society: Dictator! Fascist! Hitler!

NGOs: There is only one thing that matters. Development. Development. Development.
Modi enters…
NGOs: Shame! His development is not inclusive.

Politicians: Caste equations… blah blah blah… minority votebank… blah blah blah…
Modi enters…
Politicians: Communal! Communal! Communal!

Media: Merchant of death! Fascist! Hitler! Dictator! Communal! Murderer!
Modi gives a speech…
Media: What strong language! He is not fit to rule India!

Political planner: So then let’s spend Rs 100 crore on social media. Great plan!
Modi enters…
Political planner: Fraud! Fake accounts! You can’t win elections via social media!
