Quite a few rightwing BJP supporters and apologists are portraying criticism of Modi as disrespecting Indian people and disrespecting democracy because he now has an electoral mandate. Oh, their sudden love for democracy and mandate and respect is interesting/amusing. When Mayawati was mostly lampooned and abused by the media and middle classes when she was in power, where was criticism is disrespect of electoral mandate argument? When Congress was (rightly) savaged in recent years, why the same argument was not put forward? So apologists and supporters and cheerleaders, get used to dissent. Of course your messiah has more power and more viciousness to clamp down on dissent. Intolerance is his ideology. His followers have immense experience in bullying, abusing, trolling and killing. But his critics are not going to make it easy for him by keeping quite. Get used to it.
