देश में सवाल पूछो तो चुप्पी,
विदेश में पूछो तो निजी मामला!अमेरिका में भी मोदी जी ने अडानी जी के भ्रष्टाचार पर पर्दा डाल दिया!
जब मित्र का जेब भरना मोदी जी के लिए “राष्ट्र निर्माण” है, तब रिश्वतखोरी और देश की संपत्ति को लूटना “व्यक्तिगत मामला” बन जाता है।

“If you ask questions in the country, there is silence. If you ask abroad, it is a personal matter! Even in America, Modi Ji covered up Adani Ji’s corruption! When filling a friend’s pocket is “nation building” for Modiji, then taking bribes and looting the nation’s wealth becomes a “personal matter,” Gandhi said in X.
