To mark four years in office, the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre has released advertisements in newspapers across the nation.
The ads are designed to remove any doubts about “Hindi imposition”. The Hindi tagline is in Roman script even in language newspapers.
‘Saaf Niyat, Sahi Vikas’

I wish that this NaMo’s NDA government had heralded such an anniversary, commencing on 11 July, 2015 since it would have marked the 420 days under the leadership of this worst ever hoax India has ever seen. And thus the subsequent anniversaries too could have been computed in tune with the BJP’s trade mark of 420.
It is just a glimpse of when remain to be done. Sharing it.
