On 10 June, The Indian Express filed a report (“The men behind Narendra Modi”), in which five people were listed as being close to Modi and in charge of executing his 2014 campaign. Along with hatchet man Amit Shah, senior minister Anandiben Patel, an RSS man, and Modi’s principal secretary, is a man called Hiren Joshi.

What is his job? The paper says he heads a team of more than 2,000 volunteers that manages Modi’s portal and social media. 2,000 people!

An April report in Times Crest said Joshi’s team “also has senior executives from companies like PricewaterhouseCooper and Deloitte who quit their corporate jobs to join Modi’s team. He is also supported by an army of tech-savvy fans, some of whom live abroad”.
In an interview in The Economic Times, Rajeeka Kacheeria, who heads the BJP’s IT cell and manages its website, said: “Everything that happens on the Internet and social media is done under the guidance of Mr Narendra Modi. Hiren Joshi, a senior party professional clears even the smallest of our doubts on anything related to the Net. It is not possible that conversations can happen as per the whim and fancy of a single individual. It’s a collective effort.”

Indeed. It is not easy, and I would suggest it is not possible, today in India to put forth a view in the public space that is critical of Modi and not be shouted down.
The opposite is true for the Congress and especially Rahul and Sonia Gandhi...

But we must recognize that we are being played. An army of 2,000 people is disseminating propaganda for Modi and against his rivals.

If Indians cannot see through this, then we are the real Pappus.
