Breaking News: Who Is the गद्दार / Traitor? Take a Number

In the latest episode of "Who’s the Real Deshbhakt?", we explore a thrilling new trend: if you question the BJP’s policies, or worse—gasp—ask for actual accountability, congratulations! You’ve just been promoted to Gaddar—that’s “traitor,” for those not fluent in the patriotism police’s vocabulary.

No evidence needed. No debate required. Just dare to criticize and watch the labels fly faster than government debt.

Speaking of numbers, remember when India’s national debt was ₹55 lakh crore before 2014? Well, buckle up: ten years later, it’s over ₹196 lakh crore. But we’re told not to worry—our economic future is safe in the hands of the same leadership that sold off public assets, including national airlines, ports, and key infrastructure, to a select circle of corporate cronies. Apparently, “Nation First” now comes with an asterisk and a shareholders' agreement.

Let’s rewind for a second and define Gaddar. It means someone who breaks the trust of the people.

Now let’s apply that definition.

One Prime Minister famously said, “Every drop of my blood will contribute to the growth of this nation.” And she meant it. Indira Gandhi stood by her belief in a unified India even when warned of threats to her life. She refused to remove her Sikh bodyguards after Operation Blue Star, and she paid the ultimate price—not because she lacked intelligence input, but because she chose unity over optics.

And this same leader? She once lost a democratic election and peacefully stepped down. No EVM hacking, no vendettas, no tampering with institutions. No drama. Just democracy.

Contrast that with today’s brand of “leadership”: one that allegedly uses illegal voting practices, where reports of voter suppression and EVM manipulation pop up like seasonal headlines. A leadership that shelters and garlands convicted rapists and murderers after they walk out of jail. A leadership that has made dodging questions into an Olympic sport, refusing to face a single unscripted press conference in more than a decade.

One leader respected the Constitution. The other rewrites the rules and pretends the press doesn’t exist unless it’s clapping.

One built institutions. The other hollowed them out.

One served. The other staged.

And yet, in this upside-down narrative, questioning the current regime makes you the traitor?

Right.

Let’s also not forget the long list of broken promises: ₹15 lakh in every account? Never happened. Two crore jobs a year? Still waiting. Black money retrieval? More like black hole. And when you raise these points, you’re not met with answers—you’re met with abuse. Gaddar. Anti-national. Toolkit gang.

Because this is what happens when marketing replaces governance.

So the next time someone points a finger and calls you a traitor, hand them a mirror. Let them look at the state of the country, the condition of its institutions, the silenced media, the rising debt, the fake headlines, the protected criminals, and ask: who really betrayed the nation?

The question isn’t “Who’s the traitor?” anymore.

The real question is: Why are we still pretending we don’t know the answer?
