An Instagram reel criticises Modi birthday diyas in Patna during Bihar’s floods and says huge quantities of edible oil were wasted. The mass lamp campaign and flood context are documented, as are Modi’s calls to cut edible-oil use, but available evidence supports about 25,000 planned diyas in Patna—not “lakhs”—and does not establish the reel’s oil-volume…

Reel links Modi birthday diyas in Patna to Bihar floods; mass lamp programme is verified, oil-waste figures are not

The viral Modi excerpt argues that meat and fish affordability belongs in the same cost-of-living discussion as grain, a concern consistent with high protein-food inflation in 2013. But no primary source found in reprocessing establishes the clip’s original date, venue or full context, so it cannot safely support a specific reversal or hypocrisy claim and…

Open Post: Food affordability extends beyond grain; viral Modi meat-and-fish clip remains undated

In ANI's 16 April 2014 interview, Narendra Modi said that if allegations against him over the 2002 Gujarat riots were proven he should face exemplary punishment rather than be forgiven through apology; earlier in the same interview he separately proposed fast-track courts for criminal cases against MPs and MLAs. A 2026 reel merges those exchanges…

Open Post: Modi’s 2014 ANI interview separated punishment for proven guilt from decriminalising politics; viral reel merges the two

Modi’s 2012 criticism of India’s ‘beef export’ position referred to a trade category that international datasets use for buffalo meat; Indian policy prohibits cow, ox and calf beef exports while permitting boneless buffalo meat. That export trade did not disappear under Modi: APEDA reports $5.10 billion of buffalo-meat exports in 2025–26 and calls India the…

Open Post: India still exports buffalo meat at scale; the Modi ‘beef’ contradiction depends on terminology and context

In a 2013 interview, Narendra Modi described initially leaving a stack of sensitive Gujarat files unread, asking officials to explain the issues and relying on briefings, listening and rapid scanning. That is direct evidence about the working method he chose to describe, not evidence that he never read official records, made uninformed decisions or lacked…

Open Post: Modi’s file-reading account documents a briefing-led work style; it does not prove incompetence or lack of education

Modi’s current Parliament profile and 2024 election affidavit list a 1978 B.A. from Delhi University and a 1983 M.A. from Gujarat University, and officials at both universities have publicly said their records support those qualifications. The 2023 Gujarat and 2025 Delhi High Court rulings concern RTI access, privacy and disclosure—not a finding that the degrees…

Open Post: Modi’s declared degrees are backed by university records; RTI rulings concern disclosure, not authenticity

Rathee Thought correctly recalls Modi’s 2014 inflation slogan and real Namami Gange and Make in India branding, but it does not establish that these themes disappeared from 2026 election messaging. Current evidence is mixed: consumer inflation remained material, Namami Gange showed both unfinished work and measured water-quality improvement, and manufacturing recorded strong electronics gains while…

Old campaign slogans are not outcome measures: inflation, Ganga and Make in India show a mixed 2026 record

The April 2026 reel uses genuine Modi remarks and incidents, but they do not support one uniform conclusion. His 2014 “climate has not changed” line conflicts with established climate science; the 2018 drain-gas anecdote describes a technically plausible biogas idea, the 2019 cloud-and-radar claim is conditional rather than a rule that clouds hide aircraft, and…

Authentic Modi clips carry unequal evidentiary weight; a viral compilation turns them into one character verdict

Narendra Modi genuinely said cloud and rain might help Indian aircraft avoid radar during the 2019 Balakot strike. Strong weather can degrade some radar or related detection systems, but public evidence does not show that cloud cover reliably hid the aircraft or materially determined the mission; the later political debate flattened that conditional technical question…

Modi’s Balakot cloud-radar claim was technically plausible in part, but its operational effect remains unproven
