AP chief minister Chandrababu Naidu casually joins an Iftar dinner in Vijayawada, then steps forward and offers Namaz like it’s the most normal thing in the world. beautiful moment of unity, right? Except… remember what happened when opposition leaders did the exact same thing?
Godi media went absolutely feral when akhilesh yadav attended an Iftar. Non-stop panels, screaming headlines, “appeasement!” accusations flying everywhere. Same script for rahul Gandhi—every channel turned it into a national emergency, painting them as anti-Hindu sellouts desperate for Muslim votes. The hypocrisy level was already nuclear.
Now? Crickets. Not a single primetime debate. No breaking news tickers. No “secularism exposed” rants. The same anchors who spent hours dissecting Rahul’s Iftar plate are suddenly busy with weather reports. Naidu can break bread and offer Namaz in full public view, and the Godi ecosystem treats it like a family picnic. zero questions. zero outrage.
This isn’t journalism. It’s a protection racket. When your own guy does it, it’s “inclusive leadership.” When the opposition does it, it’s “vote-bank politics.” The same channels that lecture us about “equality” every day just proved they only have one rule: protect the ruling side at all costs.
