The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

75%

Examples:

  • A jubilant Congress party called the verdict a moral and political defeat for Mr Modi
  • But as the results show, this pair of boys soundly beat the BJP in UP.
  • The results of India’s general election announced on Tuesday are being interpreted in a rather unusual way. While the winners appear subdued, the runners-up are celebrating.

Conflicts of Interest

95%

Examples:

  • Singh is also an accused in the murder case of Ram Chander Chhatrapati, the editor of a local Haryana newspaper Poora Sach (Whole Truth), who was shot dead just weeks after he published the explosive letter. Lawyers say a judgement in the case is expected in the next few months. Singh has denied the allegation against him.
  • The first whiff of scandal in Singh’s sprawling compound in the northern state of Haryana came in 2002 when one of his female disciples wrote an anonymous letter accusing him of rape.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Despite the BJP not reaching the magic figure of 272 seats needed to form the government, Prime Minister Modi is seen as a much diminished leader.
  • India’s opposition parties have secured a historic comeback in the country’s general election.
  • Opposition parties faced an uphill battle in the election, with government agencies raiding parties and leaders, two chief ministers jailed, and bank accounts belonging to Congress frozen by income-tax authorities.
  • Rahul Gandhi has been credited for the opposition’s performance, as he worked hard to change his image and gain support through events such as the Bharat Jodo Yoda and the Nyay March.
  • The BJP has won a historic third term in power with more than 290 seats in the 543-member parliament.

Deceptions

65%

Examples:

  • But, Mr. Kidwai says, he overcame the odds and, in recent years, has worked hard to change that impression of himself and his party.
  • The outcome is being seen as a huge comeback for the opposition INDIA alliance and Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi, whose great-grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru was the first and longest-serving prime minister of India. What you need to know about Rahul Gandhi
