Mukesh Ambani didn’t just celebrate prime minister narendra Modi’s birthday — he turned it into a blockbuster spectacle titled “Mera Desh Pahle: The Untold Story of Shri narendra Modi.” But behind the glittering stage and sugary tributes lies a darker truth: when billionaires butter politicians, the return gift comes in the form of policies that fatten corporate profits — while the common man foots the bill. From cheap Russian oil to regulatory loopholes, the dance between India’s richest man and India’s most powerful politician has left citizens asking: Is this democracy, or a billionaires’ club?
1. A Birthday Bash, Not a Nation’s Priority
While ordinary indians struggle with inflation and job insecurity, Ambani hosted a mega event glorifying Modi — a reminder of where corporate loyalty truly lies.
2. Corporate Bhakti, Political Rewards
Ambani doesn’t shower Modi with love for free. Every act of “bhakti” is an investment, with policy dividends flowing back to Reliance.
3. Cheap Russian oil, Expensive indian Petrol
reliance imports discounted Russian crude, refines it, and rakes in massive profits. Meanwhile, the common man still pays record-high petrol prices. Who really benefits?
4. Birthday Cakes Mask Billion-Dollar Deals
The average indian cuts a ₹500 cake for birthdays. Ambani cuts policy deals worth billions by sponsoring glorified PR shows for the Prime Minister.
5. The Illusion of ‘Mera Desh Pahle’
The event’s title screams nationalism, but the reality is “Mera business Pahle.” The common man’s struggles don’t even make it to the script.
6. Bollywood-Style Spectacle, Corporate-Style Profits
Lights, cameras, and performances hide the fact that this is not about Modi the leader, but about Ambani securing Modi the policymaker.
7. Democracy or Oligarchy?
When billionaires dictate the narrative and politicians dance along, democracy becomes a puppet show — and the people are just paying spectators.
8. Policies Written in Ambani’s Favour
Telecom rules, retail expansions, energy policies — Ambani doesn’t just watch from the sidelines, he gets tailor-made policies gift-wrapped for his empire.
9. The Great indian Distraction
While citizens argue over religion, caste, and politics, the real story is that billionaires are cementing their control over resources with political blessings.
10. The Bill Always Lands With the People
Ambani celebrates, Modi smiles, reliance profits — but the average indian is the one left paying more for petrol, gas, food, and internet.
💣 Closing Punch:
Mukesh Ambani’s “Mera Desh Pahle” show wasn’t a tribute to Modi — it was a masterclass in how billionaires use birthday candles to light up their corporate empires. While the rich clap, dance, and profit, the poor pay the ultimate price. For Ambani, every birthday wish is a business deal. For the people, every deal is another burden.
