Fact Check: False Social Media Post Says Modi Vowed To ‘Bring Manusmriti-Based Constitution’

[ad_1] The Verdict: False While PM Modi did say that “even Babasaheb Ambedkar cannot abolish the Constitution”, he did not mention the word ‘Manusmriti’ in his speech. What is the claim? A video featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been circulating on social media. In the video, he is heard saying, “Even if Babasaheb Ambedkar himself comes, he can’t abolish the Constitution.” This video has led to claims that PM Modi intends to establish a Constitution based on the Manusmriti, an ancient legal text of Hinduism in Sanskrit. A social media user shared the viral video on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “I will change the old Constitution to make a constitution with Manusmriti which even Baba Saheb (sic) Ambedkar himself cannot end.

Lok Sabha 2024 | Why Gen V matters

[ad_1] On April 11, just eight days before Indians go to vote in the first phase of the 2024 general election, social media was populated with a video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacting with seven top gaming influencers of the country.

Mandate 2024: The BJP’s gameplan | The quest for 400

[ad_1] Making the impossible possible. It’s a challenge Narendra Modi regularly sets for himself and works steadfastly towards achieving. In the 2014 general election, at a time when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) tally had never crossed 182 seats, Modi led his party to a superlative 282-seat victory, and the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to 336 seats in the 543-member Lok Sabha. This was the first time in 30 years—since Rajiv Gandhi piloted the Congress to a 414-seat win in 1984—that any party had won a simple majority on its own. Modi worked his magic a second time in 2019, improving the BJP’s previous tally to 303 seats and the NDA’s to 352. This time, he is staking his claim on two historic feats. The lesser peak: drawing level with Jawaharlal Nehru by taking his part...

Election funding | How to clean it up

[ad_1] When the electoral bonds scheme was introduced in the Finance Bill, 2017—only a few months after the Narendra Modi government’s other grand, sweeping move to cleanse the country of black money overnight: demonetisation—it was touted as a move designed to “make political funding more transparent through the flow of clean cash”. So, whether you were an individual, an NGO or a corporate, you could purchase these interest-free, tax-exempt bonds from the State Bank of India (SBI) and contribute to the political party of your choice, which could then encash the same within a stipulated time-frame. The transparency, however, did not extend to the identity of the donors, who could remain anonymous. This, the then Union finance minister Arun Jaitley, the chief architect of the scheme, had...

Mood of the Nation poll | PM Modi and the BJP: Heading for a hat-trick

[ad_1] When Narendra Modi stood up to address the Lok Sabha on February 5, the prime minister exuded an aura of confidence and assuredness. He even mocked the members seated in the Opposition benches, saying they would be occupying those seats for decades. He asserted that in the upcoming general election, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will win 370 seats on its own, 98 more than the 272 needed for a simple majority in the Lok Sabha. He put the overall tally of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) at an astounding 405 seats. With a flo­urish, he said, “Ab ki baarâ€æ” And, as he paused, BJP members in the House filled in the rest, “Char sau paar”. And so the target of 400 seats was set. [ad_2] Source link
