Modi has been taking a lot of pot-shots at the liberal journalists who attempt to take him down, inventing "facts" on their way.

Yesterdays acceptance speech also poked fun at the "crowd" of anti-Modi hacks.

Hindus can take pride in being Hindu and being nationalists. This is the conservative approach after all.
