I think this government does not have problem with criticism, but opposition is doing very bad job of criticism itself. It fails to present proper solution/ better approach on things that matters to national security, policy and way forward for country and people dont appreciate such cynical thinking anymore. strawman arguments on high moral ground will not work after a while.
As for BBC "The Modi Question", comes from wrong place itself. India has left that issue long ago, but internal and external forces who doesn't much on Modi in politics plays same card again and again.

PS: Author AKASH BANERJEE is well know youtuber who extreme leftist. India's are not interested in people who cant represent them anymore. We lack centrist government / opposition.
