Congress and pleasant ecosystem dehumanises ‘Godi Media’ a lot in order that assault, abuse is justified for not being a Modi hater

Even earlier than PM Modi scripted historical past within the 2019 basic elections, the Congress get together and its pleasant had pulled out each trick within the ebook to besmirch the central authorities. From the Award Wapsi saga to the farce of rising intolerance to the outrageous allegations of corruption, the Congress ecosystem employed elaborate measures to dissuade individuals away from the Modi authorities.
However, because the outcomes of the 2019 General Elections indicated, removed from discouraging individuals from voting in opposition to the PM Modi-led NDA alliance, the spurious marketing campaign led by the Congress get together and its ecosystem of left-liberal intelligentsia proved to be devastatingly counterproductive. Not solely did PM Modi stormed again to energy, however he did so in an emphatic method.
For the primary time in over three many years, a political get together received greater than 300 seats by itself. Naturally, such a humiliating defeat for a second time in a row would have sparked introspection, however for its bunch of loyal supporters, Congress is past reproach and criticising them is sacrilegious. Therefore, they as a substitute turned their ire in opposition to the Modi authorities and doubled down on their efforts to run them down.
Besides blatantly fear-mongering, peddling lies, disinformation, and hurling unsubstantiated allegations, a key a part of their marketing campaign in opposition to the Centre entailed denigrating the unbiased media homes and journalists who refused to toe their line as ‘Godi Media’, a pejorative reference to media channels that unbearable left-leaning “intellectuals” accuse of being prejudiced in favour of the Modi authorities.
Congress ecosystem launch a concerted marketing campaign to undermine nonconformist media organisations
Congress functionaries, their floor supporters, luminaries of the left ecosystem, and their on-line supporters labored in tandem to vilify the non-pliant journalists and defame the media organisations and accuse of them working in cahoots with the Modi authorities.
Congress chief Gaurav Pandhi, a recurring faux information peddler, repeatedly uploads tweets which can be crucial of journalists who report constructive tales in regards to the work completed by the central authorities. In his efforts to tarnish the fame of such media homes, Pandhi lately shared a picture insinuating that Aaj Tak is a thief and an agent.

Similarly, Akash Banerjee, a quintessential left-leaning propagandist, additionally weighed in to criticise media organisations crucial of the Congress get together and sermonised them to fix their methods or danger being on the improper facet of historical past.

Congress functionaries additionally contributed to the get together’s reason behind deflecting criticism by blaming the media as a sellout. Dharmpal Godara Nohar, a Congress chief, lately gloated over the unbecoming remedy meted out to Aaj Tak journalist Chitra Tripathi on the farmers’ protests the place she was heckled and harassed. It is value noting that Tripathi later even tried to exonerate the hoodlums by normalising the heckling and harassment she confronted. But for the Congress get together, she was part of their imaginary assemble ‘Godi Media’.

Then, there have been social media nameless handles related to the Congress get together, who scramble to divert real criticism of their the get together and their supreme chief Rahul Gandhi by accusing the critics, both a journalist or a information channel, as biased and a mouthpiece of the BJP. For these deluded of us, who view everybody with the binary prism, those that attempt to oppose their get together narrative, even with stable info and data, are a fair-game that need to be name-called, rubbished and mocked.

One of the social media customers, who appeared to align with the Congress ideology, shared an image likening canine with media channels for not hating on the Modi authorities.

Thus, not being a Modi hater has change into the newest touchstone to draw the tag of ‘Godi Media’. Any such channel that emphasises reporting occasions based mostly on info or is just not “sufficiently” crucial of the Modi authorities is summarily branded as ‘Godi Media’ by the members of the Congress ecosystem. Moreover, when such information organisations broadcast or publish any report that exhibits the Congress get together and their leaders in a nasty gentle, Congress leaders and sympathisers fall over themselves to vigorously defend their get together and accuse the media channels or publication homes as paid brokers of the BJP.
Congress’ trick of deflecting criticism by calling into query integrity of dissenting voices
This is without doubt one of the nefarious stratagems that the footsoldiers of the Congress ecosystem have deployed of late—to deflect criticism directed on the get together as motivated by political prejudice—and discredit the media organisations and journalists by accusing them of being paid stooges of the federal government.
By casting aspersions on the credibility of the information organisations and journalists, the left ecosystem successfully tries to push its agenda that dissenting media organisations are all compromised and due to this fact, they can’t be trusted for offering an neutral and unbiased view of the occasions. Instead, the ecosystem goes into overdrive sharing spurious and deceptive articles printed in portals comparable to NDTV, Alt News, National Herald and many others., that are assuredly sympathetic to the Congress get together and infrequently act because the get together’s mouthpiece, meting out clear chits on flimsy proof and unabashedly selling its propaganda.
With nearly midway by means of PM Modi’s second tenure, the Congress get together and its pleasant ecosystem have stepped up its marketing campaign in opposition to unbiased media shops that defied their mandates and refused to behave like their marionettes. Ahead of all-important meeting elections in 2022, which might inevitably set the tone for 2024 basic elections, the assault on nonconformist media and journalists by the Congress ecosystem has solely elevated and has bought shriller.
Those media shops who refuse to offer in to their bullying are subjected to assault and abuse, with Congress leaders and “intellectuals” not directly and generally immediately justifying the harassment and vilification of such entities and people. The political discourse is vitiated to such an extent that abuse, assault and name-calling of media homes have change into par for course.
In their desperation to topple the Modi authorities, the Congress ecosystem has now relinquished their final vestiges of human decency. Attacks in opposition to opposition leaders, dissenting journalists and non-pliant media homes are rationalised. In truth, there’s a staggering normalisation of an abusive tradition the place naysayers are abused and maligned, simply because they refuse to share their irrational antagonism in the direction of PM Modi.
For years now, Congress had relied on its ecosystem and its community of grassroots staff to advertise a story that favoured the get together and set up its electoral supremacy. But that hegemony has not solely been challenged however totally destroyed by the BJP after PM Modi got here to energy in 2014. However, Congress nonetheless haplessly tried to make use of its earlier technique of beguiling individuals with its propaganda. But they didn’t yield the specified outcomes as the brand new age of social media had outfitted individuals with larger company to counter propaganda and outright lies.
The lack of credible management has additionally added to the miseries of the Congress get together. Rahul Gandhi is thought to be one of the crucial senior leaders of the get together, however there’s a faction throughout the Congress get together that wishes to extricate the organisation from the clutches of the Gandhis. This fratricidal quagmire is essentially chargeable for the get together’s rudderless strategy within the months for the reason that 2019 General elections.
Nevertheless, for the anti-Modi foyer, Rahul Gandhi continues to be essentially the most consequential politician, although his actions have betrayed that he’s but to “come of age” to be granted critical political consideration. But this truth hasn’t stopped the slavish Congress leaders and their lickspittles from deluding themselves into believing that their supreme chief is destined to be the nation’s subsequent prime minister.
With quite a few defeats of their kitty, a few of them being profoundly discouraging and dispiriting, the ecosystem and its adherents appeared to have resigned to the truth that there isn’t an honourable method to mount a marketing campaign in opposition to PM Modi. Weighed down by these realisations, the Congress ecosystem has no scruples about resorting to unscrupulous measures of their try to show their delusion into actuality. Their final purpose is to put in Congress again to energy. If that entails dehumanising ‘Godi Media’ and egg on assault, abuse in opposition to them, so be it.
