It is not possible for the present population to easily imagine what salaries were like during the period 1947-1991. The lowest salary of a central govt employee in 1947 was Rs.55 per month and the highest was Rs.2000 per month. Even during the 1970s to 1990s, salaries were not very high in India. An officer in a private company was considered earning well if he had a salary of Rs.500 in the 1960s and 70s. The price of a 250ml Coke in the 1970s was 50 paise. George Fernandes banished Coca Cola from India in 1977 during the Morarji Desai govt. The cheapest unreserved railway ticket in late 1970s was Rs.27 for 500 kms. Roadside tea was no more than 10 paise for a small cup. 1 paisa, 2 paise, 5 paise, 10 paise, 25 paise, 50 paise coins were still in circulation and so too were the 1-rupee and 2-rupee notes. A man earning Rs.150 pm in the 1970s could run a family of 4 in a rented house. That is all most people earned or even lesser:
What is the context? Well, Narendra Modi claims all over that he was “Gareeb” during his childhood, sold Chai and slept at railway stations. He even claimed selling tea on trains. All of this is a fraudulent piece of garbage. His father sold tea, that much is borne out by his brother. Modi didn’t sell any tea. If his father sold tea at 5 paise per cup during the 1950s-60s then at say 100 cups per day that would be Rs.150 per month. There is no way in hell that was a bad earning for a man to send his wife out to wash bartans and clothes of neighbours. Rs.150 in the 50s-60s was what a man earned in Bombay and ran a family of 4 in the suburbs and that included paying school fees for 2 kids. Even at the posh, aristocratic school for very rich snobs called Doon School, the annual fees was Rs.1800 in 1946.
Modi lived in a proper, pucca house, went to a proper school by his own admission, participated in NCC, took all kinds of photographs in suits and bow-ties. And on top of that, his family also took care of Abbas’s shelter, food, clothing and education. How in hell was this guy “Gareeb” by any stretch of imagination? It’s the biggest propaganda farce played out for victimhood. Modi’s Ghanchi community was not even under “Backward Class” till 1999. The more you lie, the more you compound those lies and even start believing that some of those lies are true when they are not. This is the case of Modi and no one in the media ever scrutinized his lies thoroughly through rationale, logic or circumstantial evidence. Modi’s lifestyle during his childhood was hardly that of a Gareeb but rather of a lipstick, dreamy kid aspiring to some Bollywood career. So, let’s continue with the fantastic lies of Modi. We counted 4 in the first part, let’s count some more.
#5. My mother washed bartans of neighbours:
In a show with Mark Zuckerberg, Modi responded to a question by MZ on how important an influence his mother was on his life. We actually don’t know and by Modi’s account he quit school and went off to the Himalayas and then came back, got married and again went away from home. In a tear-jerking performance that would be the envy of Meena Kumari, Modi grandly narrates in a choking voice, often pausing to concoct his lies that his mother washed bartans of neighbours, filled water for them to financially support his family (video: 1.02 mins):
As explained in detail earlier, as a Chaiwalla, Modi’s father would have earned anywhere between 150/- to 200/- per month even at a price of 5 paise per tea-cup. That was enough to run a family in those days when grains were still selling at “ek-anna, char-anna, atthanni” etc. On top of that, Modi also claimed they housed Abbas, fed him, educated him and fed all the neighbouring kids during Eid. So, this mother was a “domestic maid” is a FANTASTIC LIE spun out of nowhere, is unverifiable, not corroborated by any of his family members. It is extremely RARE for Gujaratis to work as domestic servants, especially not their women. The only community in Gujarat that allows its women to work as domestics is the Rabari (milk farmers) community. DOWN ANOTHER STUPID LIE!
#6. Mai Kunwara hoon (I am a bachelor):
This is perhaps one of the most dubious cover-ups and lies of Modi’s life. All during his tenure in Gujarat, most people assumed he was unmarried and a bachelor. That assumption was due to his conduct where he never appeared with his wife anywhere at all and in none of the election nomination papers in Gujarat elections did he ever mention being married. He just left that block blank. Such is the LYING nature of this man. It is not just that, in a program with Rajat Sharma, Modi grandly claimed he is a “Kunwara” (Bachelor) and there are benefits to it. Such is the extreme NONCHALANCE of this liar who had dumped his wife. Watch this video (31 secs):
That bootlicking moron Rajat Sharma also describes Modi as Kunwara and as “most eligible bachelor” and asks when he will “settle down” but even to that, Modi does not refute and say he is married and not a bachelor. That’s the kind of LIAR you are dealing with. And, by the way, there are #Moditards who claim the marriage of Modi-Jashodaben was a child marriage to defend his lies. FALSE! Modi was over 18 and Jashodaben was over 16 when they got married in 1968 and at that time both were of legal age for a legal marriage. There was no child marriage as Modi’s liars also peddle to fool others. The LIE of Modi was finally caught when he had to file nomination papers for LS2014 as lying about his marital status may have caused a disqualification.
#7. I lived on “Bhiksha” (alms) for 35 years:
A man who concocts nonsense like “Extra 2AB” is obviously not very good at Math or even simple Arithmetic. By his own account, Modi left home during high school and worked at his brother’s ST Bus Stand canteen. He then returned home, got married at 19, dumped his wife, dumped his family and went off to the Himalayas. But this is what he told a bunch of Aaj Tak reporters on a boat – that he lived on Bhiksha for 35 years (Video: 14 secs):
That’s an astonishing lie. Why? Because Modi wasn’t in Himalayas for more than a few months. He then joined RSS, worked at a Masjid in Godhra, indulged in all kinds of activities and early 1990s also made a trip to the US and Europe on “sponsored money”. Hardly the life of a man who lived a life of Bhiksha for 35 years. And after all that, Modi became CM of Gujarat in 2001 at the age of 52. Does this liar mean to say that from age 19 to 52 he lived on Bhiksha? IMPOSSIBLE! In between he also claimed to have agitated for the freedom of Bangladesh and was arrested. Where in hell was he begging during all these activities? Free food at some dharamshala or some RSS canteen DOES NOT AMOUNT to seeking Bhiksha. Free food at some Langar also does not amount to seeking Bhiksha. These LIPSTICK LIES are self-inflicted victimhood to portray his FAKE Gareebi and nothing else. Count down another big LIE! This is not corroborated by anyone, cannot be verified and also doesn’t add up mathematically.
#8. I did Satyagraha for Bangladesh and was arrested:
Nowhere in any write up on Modi since he became a CM in 2001 was there ever a mention of his agitation for Bangladesh and being arrested or participation in any agitation whatsoever. A bigger agitation at that time was that of the “Total revolution” led by Jayaprakash Narayan during 1974-75 which partly led to the Emergency by Indira Gandhi. This “mind-nucker” concocts lies at the drop of a hat anytime, anywhere. If indeed Modi was arrested, there has to be some police record of even a minor note in the police diary. Nobody has produced any such evidence.
#9. I will bring back black money and distribute it to honest taxpayers:
#10. Na Khaoonga, Na Khaane Doonga:
By this desi statement, Modi means he will not only be not corrupt or accept bribes but also not allow anyone to be corrupt or indulge in bribery. But this turned out to be another twisted LIE laid hollow by the Supreme Court striking down the fraudulent and secretive Electoral Bond scheme. These bonds are “bearer bonds” which anyone could buy and donate to any political party of his choice. Obviously, BJP was the biggest beneficiary of this scam being the ruling party getting about 73% of all the EB slush funds till 2023:
HD Kumaraswamy once said that politics without corruption is impossible. This was during the height of the Kejriwal agitation against Congress corruption, joined in chorus by BJP. Those were the only true words the tear-jerker ever spoke.
In the case of Demonetisation, after much grandstanding, Modi also allowed all political parties to convert their hoarded cash into new currency without any limits. Thus, he also helped all parties in converting black money into white without limits. Count another BIG LIE of Modi in his false claims of fighting corruption when he actually promoted corruption and also enrolled corrupt Congress members into the BJP for political profits. This is a man without principles and scruples and only hungry for power and his lipstick image.
