In an era where entrepreneurship is the heartbeat of national progress, where job creation and economic resilience stem from daring startups and homegrown platforms, a sinister campaign is underway—one that threatens the very soul of India’s economic momentum. Leading this charge are self-styled activists like Kunal Kamra and their echo chamber—Swati Chaturvedi, Sakshi Joshi, and others from the Soros-backed brigade—hell-bent on dismantling the backbone of India’s private sector through coordinated digital lynching.
Let’s be clear. This is no organic outrage. This is economic jihad—an orchestrated playbook executed with precision every time a corporate entity is perceived to be even remotely aligned with the current Modi government or refuses to pander to the whims of leftist propaganda.
Ola Electric: The First Target
The attack began subtly but steadily. Bhavish Aggarwal’s Ola Electric—India’s ambitious foray into EV technology—was met with a barrage of slander under the guise of consumer complaints. While every growing business encounters hiccups, the magnification and politicization of Ola’s service issues reeked of a deeper agenda. And who was fanning the flames? The same cabal—Swati Chaturvedi conveniently tweeting negative coverage, influencers pushing the “boycott” narrative. Coincidence? Not quite.
It was Kunal Kamra who lit the match, and the Soros-funded media class that carried the torch.
BookMyShow: The Latest Victim
Now, the pattern repeats itself. This time, it’s BookMyShow—the country’s largest ticketing platform—being dragged into the mud because it allegedly delisted Kunal Kamra. Why? For mocking a democratically elected leader—again. And yet, instead of respecting the platform’s autonomy, a wave of uninstall campaigns erupted. Swati Chaturvedi, again, was on cue with her digital pitchforks, crying fascism while conveniently avoiding any concern for the thousands employed by the company.
The message from the Kamra gang is clear: Bow to us, or we will cancel you.
The Toolkit Is Obvious
This isn’t free speech. This is economic terrorism under the garb of dissent. From mocking India’s leadership to manufacturing outrage against companies, the modus operandi is chillingly consistent. A nudge from Kamra, coordinated SM outrage by the usual suspects, selective journalism from Soros-funded outlets, and then the economic sabotage begins.
Even after Official Clarification from BookMyShow that their platform is only for the Sale of Tickets and they have no role in picking and promoting the Content, the vilification by the Cabal continued.
The Real Cost: India’s Growth Story
These campaigns aren’t harmless social media spats. They erode investor confidence, demoralize budding entrepreneurs, and jeopardize employment for thousands. In their hatred for Modi, this cabal is willing to sabotage India’s growth story, one company at a time.
What they forget is that India’s entrepreneurial spirit is not fragile. It’s resilient. It’s built on grit—not hashtags.
The silent majority must rise. Support businesses. Reject cancel culture. And expose the hypocrisy of those who scream “fascism” while wielding the tools of economic fascists themselves.
