The current state of Indian comedy is booming. People from all across the nation are putting up their content on YouTube, performing overseas and are even helping budding stand-up artists to get proper exposure. But, to be honest, they’ve tough competition from our country’s politicians. While stand-up artists have to write scripts and practice a lot, politicians just improvise and give us comedic gold. The latest person to do so is our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.
Twitter user @RealHistoryPic uploaded a video of PM Modi speaking on the use of toxic gases. However, the science in his speech about the production of bio-gas was extremely off.
“Kisi chotte se nagar mein, naale ke paas, koi chai ka thela lekar ke khada rehtha tha aur chai banakar ke bechta tha. Ussne ek chote se bartan ko ulta karke, ched karke ek pipe daal di. Aur jo gutter se gas nikalta tha, woh pipeline se uske chai ke thele mein le liya. Aur woh chai banane ke liye ussi gas ka upyog karke chai banata tha.“
To break it down into scientific terms, PM Modi is probably talking about converting sewage into gas/bio-fuel for powering stoves. And there’s no doubt that that’s a thing which is being developed in India since 2016. But the thing is, you need a proper industrial plant to do that and not just by overturning a bartan(pan).

While simple minded people might’ve bought this theory, others saw through it and took PM Modi back to school.

उलटा संदेस ही निकलेगा,
तुम कितने नाले बंद करोगे
हर गटर से gas ही निकलेगा।

नाली से गैस बनाने की बात पर उस ग़रीब व्यक्ति की सूझ-बूझ की तारीफ़ करने की जगह ‘पढ़े-लिखे’ लोग भी अनपढ़ों जैसा तंज कस रहे हैं, जैसे कभी बायो-गैस और गोबर गैस के बारे में पढ़ा ही ना हो, मीथेन गैस सुनी ही ना हो, मोदी विरोध में अब विज्ञान को भी चुनौती देने को तैय्यार हैं लोग।

We Indians are truly living in the weirdest timeline of our country’s history where the leaders are coming up with the strangest theories. And the worst part is that there’s a large section of people who’re running with it. So, jokes apart, what do you think about PM Modi openly showing his scientific ‘knowledge’? Is it good, bad or just another reason for us to laugh?

Chennai (PTI): VCK MLA Vanni Arasu on Wednesday urged the newly formed Tamil Nadu government to enact a stringent law against superstitious practices, citing similar legislations in Karnataka and Maharashtra to curb exploitation in the name of black magic and rituals.
VCK, which won two seats in the 2026 Assembly election, has offered support to TVK to form a government during the floor test.
Speaking during the discussion on the confidence motion in the Assembly, Arasu highlighted that states like Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and Rajasthan already have laws against witchcraft and sorcery.
"From 2013 in Maharashtra and 2020 in Karnataka, laws providing imprisonment for those who deceive through superstitious means have been in practice," he stated. The party noted that rationalist Narendra Dabholkar had fought for such a law in Maharashtra before being murdered by "Sanatana terrorists".
The VCK MLA further called on the government to prioritise scientific temper over beliefs in astrology and sorcery.
"Our government should give priority to projects that develop science without giving room for superstitions like astrology and black magic," Arasu said, citing Article 51A of the Indian Constitution, which defines the development of scientific temper as a fundamental duty of every citizen.
The party demanded a special law to prevent honour killings as well, which Arasu claimed are rising in Tamil Nadu as they once did in North Indian states.
The government was also urged to enact legislation protecting the "200-point roster system" for SC/ST employee promotions, utilising powers under Article 16(4A) of the Constitution.
Highlighting the recent arrest of 40 Tamil Nadu fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy, the VCK sought a permanent solution to protect them from such attacks.
The party called on the state government to take initiatives toward the "right of Eelam Tamils to rule themselves" and requested that the state officially observe May 18 as International Genocide Day.
