With media sitting firmly in his lap, Rahul Gandhi continues to blatantly unfold lies

One would wish to have an IQ decrease than that of a jellyfish to lie and say the very same factor one was fact-checked and ridiculed for only a week again. Or one must be only a brazen, sinister politician who is aware of he can get away with it. Case in level: Rahul Gandhi.
On February 17, 2021, simply days earlier than Congress authorities in Puducherry collapsed, Rahul Gandhi had promised to present the fishermen their very own ‘ministry’ in Delhi. Considering Rahul Gandhi’s historical past of gaffes, one would simply dismiss it as his lack of understanding about how issues run in India. You see, the ‘ministry of fisheries’ which he promised to the ‘sea farmers’ was already established in 2019 and Giriraj Singh at the moment holds the portfolio.
Responding to Rahul Gandhi’s seeming gaffe, Singh had taken a jibe at him in Italian that maybe Rahul Gandhi was referring to Italian politics. Rahul Gandhi’s mom and Congress President Sonia Gandhi hails from Italy.
However, it was not simply one thing Rahul Gandhi was unaware of. You see, earlier than he promised a ministry which already exists, Rahul Gandhi had put up a query within the Lok Sabha relating to the identical. As per the Lok Sabha data, Gandhi had questioned the Ministry about Fisheries Infrastructure and Aquaculture Development Fund on February 2, 2021.
But what number of ‘neutral’ fact-checkers and media homes name out this lie by Rahul Gandhi?
NDTV report on Rahul Gandhi lieRahul Gandhi ‘calls for’ as a substitute of lies. And no, NDTV India’s Ravish Kumar selected to stay silent.
Ravish Kumar reacting to Rahul Gandhi’s lies (sarcasm)Here is how News18 reported.
News18 on Rahul Gandhi gaffeWhile News18 did point out that Rahul Gandhi promised one thing that already existed, it made it about BJP mocking him over his lies. Not really calling out his lies.
Speaking of media homes and their selective ‘fact-checking’, AltNews selected to not fact-check Rahul Gandhi on his apparent lies.
AltNews and its selective fact-checking“Fact-checkers” and their difficult relationship with information. This simply goes on to point out how ‘speaking truth to the power’ factor is only a facade.
And whereas we’re on propagandists and their ‘speaking truth to the power’ joke, listed below are the ringleaders.
The Wire talking reality to the powerHmm. Not a peep on Rahul Gandhi’s blunders.
If anybody needs to see what ‘Godi media’ appears to be like like, come right here. See how the wonderful ‘independent media’ which is ‘not afraid of speaking truth to the power’ is nestled calmly within the lap of Yuvraj Rahul Gandhi.
But you realize what this ‘Godi media’ permits? It permits highly effective individuals like Rahul Gandhi to proceed to deceive the susceptible part of the society.
Today, whereas addressing a gathering in Kollam, Kerala, Rahul Gandhi repeated the very same factor he did in Puducherry.
#WATCH | Just like farmers farm the land, you farm the ocean. Farmers have a Ministry in Delhi, you do not… First factor I’d do is have a Ministry devoted to fishermen of India in order that your points may be defended & protected: Congress chief Rahul Gandhi in Kerala’s Kollam pic.twitter.com/RYcLCbDiQx— ANI (@ANI) February 24, 2021
He once more promised a ‘ministry of fisheries’ for ‘sea farmers’.
You see, since Rahul Gandhi is aware of that the media and different propagandists masquerading as ‘fact-checkers’ is not going to fact-check his lies, he’s emboldened to proceed to brazen it out.
Now, whereas they don’t deserve the good thing about doubt, one could argue that Rahul Gandhi meant to present a separate Ministries of Fisheries as it’s at the moment clubbed with Animal Husbandry and Dairying. It would nonetheless be a ridiculous proposition since many different such ministries are clubbed with associated topics. Like, Rahul Gandhi guarantees ‘women empowerment’ however by no means guarantees ‘Ministry of Women’ as a result of ‘Ministry of Women and Child Development’ already exists and the 2 are associated and to some extent interdependent.
You see, not all election campaigning is completed by the politicians. Some media homes and ‘fact-checkers’ proceed to do them by selective reportage and ‘fact-checking’.
During the run-up to the 2019 elections, Rahul Gandhi went to city portray how the Rafale plane deal for Indian Air Force was a ‘scam’ to profit the ‘Adani-Ambani’. Of course, after the ‘Rafale scam’ rhetoric didn’t work and Congress confronted a humiliating defeat in 2019 elections, Rahul Gandhi has maintained radio silence on the alleged rip-off.
Remember how the mainstream media and ‘fact-checkers’ by no means corrected him for his mismatched determine about ‘scam’ and even the incoherent allegations which might simply be fact-checked. Remember how then Congress IT cell head Divya Spandana and different propagandists like Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan resorted to counting on a soft-porn web site run by a so-called Bollywood publicist to assert Rafale was rip-off?
The ‘secular-liberal’ media supplied Rahul Gandhi a platform to invent allegations on Rafale out of locations the place the Sun doesn’t shine so he might attraction to the citizens along with his lies. The media served because the propaganda wing of the Congress occasion and it used its large sources to successfully marketing campaign in opposition to the ruling authorities. N Ram of The Hindu, at one level, was competing with Rahul Gandhi in spreading lies concerning the deal. The newspaper not solely cropped a ‘dissent note‘ about the deal but also digitally manipulated it. His conduct was perfectly understandable considering the fact that he and P Chidambaram go way back. Oh and don’t overlook the epic meltdown of Ravish Kumar as first Rafale jet touched down in India.
Not solely Rafale. Rahul Gandhi has repeatedly lied about ‘loan waiver’ and ‘loan write-off’. He has used the phrases interchangeably to assert that the Central authorities has ‘waived off’ loans of ‘big corporates’ and never of ‘poor farmers’. But you realize what? These NPAs are unhealthy loans that are ‘written off’ not ‘waived’. When loans are ‘written off’, they cease showing as an asset for the financial institution which had prolonged the mortgage however the banks proceed to attempt to get better the debt, often by initiating strategy of promoting off collateral properties mortgaged by the corporates to take the loans.
Rahul Gandhi lies, makes use of the phrases interchangeably to mislead the susceptible strata of society and his mates in media fortunately oblige by ‘reporting’ however not fact-checking.
