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.

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?

New Delhi: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday said that four to five lakh “Miya voters” would be removed from the electoral rolls in the state once the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists is carried out. He also made a series of controversial remarks openly targeting the Miya community, a term commonly used in Assam in a derogatory sense to refer to Bengali-speaking Muslims.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an official programme in Digboi in Tinsukia district, Sarma said it was his responsibility to create difficulties for the Miya community and claimed that both he and the BJP were “directly against Miyas”.
“Four to five lakh Miya votes will have to be deleted in Assam when the SIR happens,” Sarma said, adding that such voters “should ideally not be allowed to vote in Assam, but in Bangladesh”. He asserted that the government was ensuring that they would not be able to vote in the state.
The chief minister was responding to questions about notices issued to thousands of Bengali-speaking Muslims during the claims and objections phase of the ongoing Special Revision (SR) of electoral rolls in Assam. While the Election Commission is conducting SIR exercises in 12 states and Union Territories, Assam is currently undergoing an SR, which is usually meant for routine updates.
Calling the current SR “preliminary”, Sarma said that a full-fledged SIR in Assam would lead to large-scale deletion of Miya voters. He said he was unconcerned about criticism from opposition parties over the issue.
“Let the Congress abuse me as much as they want. My job is to make the Miya people suffer,” Sarma said. He claimed that complaints filed against members of the community were done on his instructions and that he had encouraged BJP workers to keep filing complaints.
“I have told people wherever possible they should fill Form 7 so that they have to run around a little and are troubled,” he said, adding that such actions were meant to send a message that “the Assamese people are still living”.
In remarks that drew further outrage, Sarma urged people to trouble members of the Miya community in everyday life, claiming that “only if they face troubles will they leave Assam”. He also accused the media of sympathising with the community and warned journalists against such coverage.
“So you all should also trouble, and you should not do news that sympathise with them. There will be love jihad in your own house.” He said.
The comments triggered reactions from opposition leaders. Raijor Dal president and MLA Akhil Gogoi said the people of Assam had not elected Sarma to keep one community under constant pressure. Congress leader Aman Wadud accused the chief minister of rendering the Constitution meaningless in the state, saying his remarks showed a complete disregard for constitutional values.
According to the draft electoral rolls published on December 27, Assam currently has 2.51 crore voters. Election officials said 4.78 lakh names were marked as deceased, 5.23 lakh as having shifted, and 53,619 duplicate entries were removed during the revision process. Authorities also claimed that verification had been completed for over 61 lakh households.
On January 25, six opposition parties the Congress, Raijor Dal, Assam Jatiya Parishad, CPI, CPI(M) and CPI(M-L) submitted a memorandum to the state’s chief electoral officer. They alleged widespread legal violations, political interference and selective targeting of genuine voters during the SR exercise, describing it as arbitrary, unlawful and unconstitutional.
