Thu, Sep 26 2019Modi himself is controlling IT cell and Media to make him unwanted hero,
He may be admired man for killing innocent human being, spreading communal and hatredness among people, not bringing black money etc etc
MODI was given a list (by one of the swiss bank employee) of indian chors who kept black money in swiss bank ...still modi didn't act on it where as before election he was saying that he will bring black money in 90 days time....
luckily he didn't say specifically the year 2014 or so on !!. we all should be ashamed to call him admired man ?
