TV Newsance 352 | Modi At 76: Ads, aura and unlimited bhakti

This week, the biggest event of the year has hit the godiverse: Modi ji has turned 76. Naturally, the celebrations will last an entire month, as the BJP has launched a month-long campaign, “Seva Sankalp Abhiyan,” because, well… why not? This campaign will witness reels, painting competitions, giant human rangolis and even a clean Yamuna. Turns out, the river wasn’t dirty. It was just waiting for the PM’s birthday!

But Modi ji has a bigger mission this year: winning over Gen Z with “aura”, “OG”, “flex” and GRWM videos. Bad news for WhatsApp uncles who spent years dutifully forwarding propaganda texts, only to be quietly dispatched to the Margdarshak Mandal.
