The British oligarchy is attempting to exploit the very real surge of COVID-19 throughout India, as a shaped charge to attack, and perhaps to remove from office, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. As Modi is the leader of one of the Four Powers crucial to creating a new Bretton Woods, this may be an element to stop such a policy from being realized.
The June 23 Washington Post entitles its assault by its “Global Opinions contributing writer” Rana Ayyub, “An Exploding Coronavirus Crisis Shows Modi Is Not Up to the Task of Leading India.” Ayyub makes her main point, “Modi has now joined the disastrous ranks of populist like President Trump and Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro, who have displayed an extreme lack of empathy and repressed critical voices to further their own political interests during the pandemic.” Modi, she charges, is the force to “slide India’s democracy further into darkness as the novel coronavirus strengthens its grip on India.”
Simultaneously, Consortium News headlines its June 26 story, “COVID-19: the Dangerous Incompetence of Narendra Modi & Jair Bolsonaro,” again attempting to pair Modi with Bolsonaro. The story’s author, Vijay Prashad, an Indian Marxist historian, pens the sub-headline, “The alarming news about the virus in Brazil and India, where neither government is taking a science-based approach or showing a regard for the people.”
