    From 31st Mar to 14th May (44 days), Modi has given 41 scripted interviews. That’s almost 1 interview per day.

Answers decided in advance too - Modi meets the interviewing editors for a photo-op & small talk for 15 mins - Editors made to do RT-PCR tests before meeting Modi. Strange because Modi claims he’s taken a Covid vaccine - TV interviews even have the camera setup done by the PMO. The channel only has to show up & follow the script 41 carefully scripted interviews in 44 days - this is a sign of a man who is rattled & terrified.
