A newly submitted reel uses Narendra Modi’s 2013 anti-inflation speech to suggest sugar would be ₹15/kg under that standard; the contrast is legitimate accountability context, but ₹15 is an unverifiable counterfactual and the old speech does not explain the 2026 shock.

Open Post: India’s 2026 sugar shock exposed a short-term supply squeeze; old Modi inflation clip is context, not explanation

Open Post: Rhetorical ‘missing’ scorecard collapses policy, accidents and allegations into one governance claim

Nitin Gadkari’s 2023 ₹15-per-litre line is authentic, so a blanket denial that he used the figure is untenable.
