Back in 2013, narendra modi thundered against the UPA government, mocking the falling rupee. He said, “There is a government that has weakened the rupee. If this goes on, we will have to find the rupee with a microscope.”
Fast forward to 2025—the rupee is in its weakest phase, trading at historic lows, yet Modi, once the loudest critic, now maintains a mute response. The irony couldn’t be sharper.
Here’s how Modi’s words have come back to haunt him:
1. The Rupee Slide He Can’t Talk About
In 2013, Modi made speeches across the country about the rupee’s fall. In 2025, when the rupee sinks even deeper, he chooses silence. Apparently, microscopes have now been replaced with telescopes.
2. From Loud Critic to Silent PM
The man who once blamed every economic hiccup on UPA now blames global conditions. But wasn’t he the one who promised to make the rupee “strong and proud”?
3. The Forex Mirage
BJP claimed record foreign reserves and FDI inflows. Yet, in reality, reserves are under stress, FDI has collapsed, and the rupee has lost purchasing power like never before.
4. Rupee at ₹88 = Household Chaos
The weakening rupee isn’t just about numbers—it means more expensive fuel, higher import bills, costlier gold, and inflation that crushes the middle class. Where is Modi’s “56-inch” solution now?
5. The Hypocrisy of Selective Outrage
If the rupee fell by even half under manmohan Singh, Modi and his IT Cell would’ve screamed “national shame.” But when it collapses under Modi, propaganda drowns out accountability.
👉 The Verdict: Modi mocked the rupee’s weakness in 2013, but in 2025, his own record makes that line painfully prophetic. The real microscope is now needed—not for the rupee—but to find Modi’s missing accountability.
