#1 Typical Leftist rant coming routinely out of the UK. The principal ideological contribution to this article, describing a routine construction [planned before the pandemic, put on hold indefinitely], is a Derek O'Brien. Mr O'Brien is a leader of the government in a Left run state that has murdered over 250 citizens over just voting right or campaigning for Modi. These are people who smuggle in bangladeshi jihadis into India to maintain their vote base. [Guess where they learn this from]

And such boo hoo hoo over the expenditure on some renovation the taxpayer has already voted on [a new parliament was needed because the old one's security was compromised and it was crumbling].

Whining about care and aid to India's poor, by a British writer? The bloody cheek.

#2 ^ How did Modi fail to protect his supporters and party workers against those beasts?

#4 ^No, it's David Jones, chief foreign affairs writer for Dailymail. O'Brien is the pol in Bengal, a commie of opportunity.

Wren, you know that Modi is a useless furball, right? Wait for the murders in Nandigram. The political class has its own rhythm in India. They arrive in power with a view to let the other side have the throne in about ten or so years. It is an understanding between them. It is all one party, one culture of thuggery, as far as the citizen should be concerned. Modi enjoyed himself thoroughly, now his time is almost up.

#5 Oh god, oh no...
So what about the influx of Bangladeshi jihadis into India? I'm sure that within next five years there will more of them, mutiplying, breeding like rats.

#6 Every government program could be used to fund some other vital government program. They all come at the cost of economic success of the nation which gets chipped away bit by bit for nonsense.

#7 Quite the hit piece in the DM style. Almost hear the lisping when comparing architecture to cake.

Gosh, that sounds a lot like another country with which I am quite familiar.
