“He who’s afraid of going through the media in a press convention has discovered consolation in a international podcaster anchored within the rightwing ecosystem.

“And he has the gall to say that ‘criticism is the soul of democracy’ when he has systematically gutted each establishment that’s to carry his authorities accountable and gone after critics with a vengeance that nobody in latest historical past has matched!” Ramesh wrote on X.
