Modi Govt's policies are responsible for hurting India's global reputation.
PM Modi claimed in 2018: "People travelling and living abroad know the respect and strength of the Indian passport today." Where is that "strength" reflected? Facts bely his assertions.
✈️In one global passport ranking, India has fallen from 74th in 2013 to 80th in June 2026. [World Economic Forum]
Another global passport index places India at a dismal 125th in 2026. [Global Citizen Solutions]
⏫Instead of improving services, the Modi Govt has made passports more expensive. Passport fees have been hiked from ₹1,500 to ₹2,500, while Tatkal charges have gone up to ₹5,000.
🛬 Even with respect to the ease of travelling to India, Foreign Tourist Arrivats are still below pre-COVID levels: They have dropped from 10.93 million (2019) to 9.95 million (2024). Is the Modi Govt masking this failure by clubbing NRI arrivals with foreign tourist data?
🖥️Why is India's official visa application portal still so outdated and confusing that it resembles a website from the late 1990s? No one in India, the land of "Atithi Devo Bhava" wants to welcome the tourists like this?
If the passport is weaker, tourism has not recovered, visa services are lacklustre and citizens are paying more for substandard services, then where exactly is this much-advertised global respect?
Reality bites. India's reputation suffers. Courtesy: Modi Govt !
Allegations of stolen donations at #Badrinathtemple have prompted an investigation by the Badri Kedar Temple Committee (BKTC). A social organisation claims a #BKTC employee is involved, urging a review of CCTV footage.
While the BKTC chairman clarified the employee's role, he assured strict action if irregularities are confirmed.

Modi at the Delhi–Dehradun Expressway inauguration on 14 April 2026: This expressway will open new avenues for trade, industry, warehousing & logistics.
79 days later: It also opened a few extra avenues in the middle of the road. 😂
Corruption at its peak!
@TheDeshBhakt Fun fact: Rajnath Singh was the one who announced Narendra Modi as the BJP's prime ministerial candidate for the 2014 general election. Now he seems more like a puppet than a leader. What a downfall. 😂
A few days back, Shri Nitin Gadkari openly challenged saying, “*Show me one vehicle anywhere in the world which had problems because of E20 petrol.*”
Today, the Central Government told the Supreme Court that “*Ethanol mixing is an experiment—results will come by next year.*”
*An experiment on 3.6 crore Indians.*
Let that sink in.
While the Minister challenges the world, the Government admits in court that they don’t even know the outcome. Meanwhile, on our roads:
•Mileage is plummeting—hard-earned money is burning faster than fuel.
•Engines are getting bust—repair bills are crushing common families.
•9 out of 10 vehicles in India are not compatible with E20. That’s 3.6 crore vehicles.
This policy was rolled out without consensus, without public consultation and without remorse. You cannot call a national fuel shift an “experiment” after forcing it down our tanks. You cannot challenge citizens to prove damage when your own data is still pending.
Common people are not guinea pigs. Our roads are not test tracks.
Our pockets are not your trial budgets.
Roll back E20. First, prove. Then, deploy.
Remembering Diana, Princess of Wales, on what would have been her 65th birthday. The People's Princess, she touched millions with her compassion, grace & humanity. Her legacy of kindness continues to inspire the world. Forever remembered with respect & admiration. #PrincessDiana
Rattle the RSS & BJP hisses.
Everytime anyone questions the RSS, BJP loses its composure.
Ask why an organisation that contributed nothing to the freedom struggle now lectures the nation on patriotism and the BJP hisses back.
Ask why it took 52 years for the Tricolour to be hoisted at Nagpur and the BJP hisses back.
Ask whose Constitution they truly swear by Babasaheb's, or the one they wish they had written instead and the BJP hisses back.
Ask why they refuse to register themselves, pay taxes and BJP hisses back.
Ask RSS to follow what it preaches and BJP hisses back.
The BJP has always been the RSS' instrument, never merely its ally. Every hiss just confirms who's holding the tail.
सत्ता के अहंकार में डूबी मोदी सरकार अब इस मुकाम पर पहुँच गई है कि अपने अधिकारों, निष्पक्ष परीक्षाओं और सुरक्षित भविष्य की मांग करने वाले छात्रों को ही शिक्षा मंत्री “आतंकवादी” कह रहे हैं।
ज़रा सोचिए - जिसकी नाकामी से इतने पेपर लीक हुए, जिसके राज में 20 बच्चों ने जान दे दी, जिसने करोड़ों युवाओं का भविष्य अंधेरे में धकेल दिया - वो आज पीड़ित बच्चों और उनकी आवाज़ उठाने वालों को “दहशतगर्द” बता रहा है।
पर यह कोई नई बात नहीं: अन्नदाता किसानों को "आंदोलनजीवी और परजीवी" कहा। सवाल पूछने वाले को “Anti-National” कहा। और अब युवाओं को “दहशतगर्द।”
जो भी सरकार से सवाल पूछे - उसे देशद्रोही बता दो, यही इनकी पूरी राजनीति है।
धर्मेंद्र प्रधान जी, देश के करोड़ों युवाओं से तुरंत माफ़ी माँगिए और अपनी नाकामियों के लिए इस्तीफ़ा दीजिए।
और रही मेरी बात - आप मुझ पर जितने चाहें हमले कर लीजिए। मैंने कोटा में कहा था, और फिर कहता हूँ: यह शिक्षा व्यवस्था आज सिर्फ़ एक वसूली तंत्र बन गई है। मैं इसे ऐसे ही नहीं रहने दूँगा।
हर बच्चे को सस्ती, अच्छी शिक्षा और निष्पक्ष परीक्षा मिले - इस आवाज़ को उठाना मैं कभी बंद नहीं करूँगा।

🚨A girl raised her voice to the students at Jantar Mantar. Now her father has been brutally attacked.
Is this how dissent is punished? File an FIR immediately. Arrest every culprit. India cannot tolerate this jungle raj.😡
One guy is looting money by forcing Ethanol
Another is land grabbing for his real estate empire
One is making money from leaking exam papers
Another is looting by selling the Nicobar Island
Top to bottom, everything is corrupt and compromised in this Modi govt.

The Indian National Congress announces the first phase of a nationwide campaign against paper leaks, exam irregularities, unemployment, and the systematic betrayal of India’s youth by the Modi government.
Here is the statement by Congress General Secretary (Org.) Shri @kcvenugopalmp. 👇
After Vote Chori and Sarkar Chori - the BJP-EC jugalbandi has finished the contest before it has even begun with Seat Chori.
Look at what happened in the recent Rajya Sabha elections.
Congress candidate Meenakshi Natarajan ji submitted every document. No pending cases. The EC cancelled her nomination on a frivolous BJP objection.
Parimal Nathwani ji, the BJP-backed independent, got his own name wrong on the form and skipped multiple mandatory disclosures. The EC gave him an extension to fix everything.
Same Election Commission. Two candidates. One was disqualified without even a hearing. The other was rewarded despite not following the rules.
When the Congress sought a meeting, the EC first tried to evade us. When we finally met, they did not say one word.
Expect to see much more of this - because for the BJP, it is far easier to fix the election than to win it.
