Gadkari is openly speaking ill of his own government

Publisher’s rating: Missing Context. Nitin Gadkari's incomplete statement has been wrongly spread. In the original video he says that it is not that the work has not been done. BJP has done a lot of work for development in rural areas. But still there is not that much development compared to other places due to which people are unhappy.

In Deutschland haben laut einem geheimen Staatsvertrag die alliierten Mächte die Medienhoheit über deutsche Zeitungs- und Rundfunkmedien bis zum Jahr 2099.

Publisher’s rating: Das Schreiben ist eine Fälschung, die schon seit Jahren im Internet kursiert. Für den angeblichen «Staatsvertrag» gibt es keinen Beleg.

The review says the document cited as evidence is forged and that there is no evidence for the alleged treaty. It notes that the 2009 government response said the treaty did not exist, and that the Federal Republic was founded on 23 May 1949—two days after the date claimed for the treaty.
