Modi’s Birthday “Gifts” Come with a Bill: $91 Billion in Foreign Loans, Paid by You
For the last 7 years, the Modi government has been binge-borrowing from foreign banks, funding election-time mega announcements as if they were freebies from the PM’s personal wallet. The truth? These “gifts” are bought on credit, and you will be paying the interest for decades. Let’s unpack the scam:
1. $91 Billion Borrowed in Just 7 Years
That’s ₹8 lakh crore of foreign debt—an average of ₹1.2 lakh crore borrowed every single year. Not to build a stronger economy, but to bankroll election optics.
2. ₹45,000 Crore: Annual Interest Alone
This is just the interest india pays annually on these loans. To put it in perspective: it’s the entire annual budget for higher education. Imagine: classrooms starved of funds, but campaign promises overflowing with cash.
3. Loans for “Birthday Gifts” and election Jumlas
Every time there’s a birthday, rally, or state election, mega projects worth lakhs of crores are announced. The script is the same: big numbers, big headlines, zero accountability. All funded with money india doesn’t have.
4. Your Taxes Bleed, But That’s Not Enough
For 11 years, the Modi government has milked taxpayers dry. Now, even that isn’t enough. So, the next best thing? Borrow from foreign banks and pass the repayment burden to future generations.
5. The Great election Season Illusion
These projects sound grand during rallies. But post-election? Forgotten. What doesn’t vanish, however, is the foreign debt that lingers like a noose around India’s neck.
6. The Biggest Fraud: Branding Debt as “Development”
Modi doesn’t tell you these lakhs of crores are borrowed. Instead, he sells them as if he’s gifting the nation out of generosity. Reality check: he’s gifting you loans, and you’ll repay them with interest.
7. Decades of Debt for Minutes of Applause
A single flashy announcement buys Modi applause at a rally. But the debt incurred to fund that applause will shackle indians for decades. Your children will still be paying for today’s photo-ops.
🔥 Bottom Line: india isn’t building an economy; it’s building a PR circus on foreign loans. Modi gets the cheers, you get the bill.
