Indians and the world, are missing the Gujarati Bania,Modi Magic – and that is OK – as Indians, are as thick, as the Coconut Husk !
Remember the 02 crisis ! Then came the O2 imports, and Import of 02 plants, and 02 plants, which run on RENEWABLES !
And SUDDENLY, there is no NEED,for 02 !
THE MYSTERY SOLVED – THE MILLIONS OF USD,HAVE BEEN MADE,BY MODI’s COTERIE,AND INDIANS ARE LEFT HIGH AND DRY !
Remember the VAX crisis ? There were no VAX stocks and Indians were REFUSING VAXES – and so,someone said – time to make a billion ! That provided the excuse,to import at inflated rates !
But then,if the VAX were charged, then Indians WOULD DEMAND TO KNOW THE IMPORT COST – SO CHAIWALA SAID – IT IS FREE FOR ALL !
1 Billion Indians get 2 shots at say a cost of USD 5 – WHICH MAKES IT A USD 10 BILLION HIT !
BUT THEN – LO AND BEHOLD – THE VAX ADVANCE IS PAID,THE VAX SUUPLIERS WILL DELAY SUPPLY (AS THERE ARE NO RAW MATERIALS) – AND SO,WHAT DOES CHAIWALA DO ?
MAGIC !
THE NUMBER OF CASES ARE DOWN, FROM 400000 TO 75000 A DAY !
WONDERBAR !
NOW THERE IS NO NEED, FOR A VAX !
AND HERE ALSO,THE 100 MILLION USD, IS MADE !
Do Indians deserve Modi and Could Modi have been a success anywhere else – BUT IN INDIA ?
Meanwhile – the entire school education in India is destroyed for the last 1.5 years and will go on for another 1 year at least !
