In his tweet, The Liver Doc specifically criticizes India’s economic trajectory under the "Atmanirbhar Bharat" (Self-Reliant India) initiative, claiming it has led to systemic fraud and inefficiency rather than sustainable progress. His comparison of india to China—highlighting the missed potential of matching China’s growth while also noting that china cannot replicate India's pitfalls—has struck a chord with critics of the current administration.
These remarks are particularly incendiary as they call into question the credibility of figures like baba Ramdev, who is seen as a symbol of indian entrepreneurship, and gautam adani, whose rapid rise has often been linked to proximity to political power. This critique aligns with broader concerns about crony capitalism, regulatory gaps, and the over-politicization of the private sector.
The reaction to The Liver Doc's tweet has been polarized, reflecting the deepening divide in India's political and social discourse. Supporters of the bjp have dismissed his comments as baseless attacks, accusing him of sensationalism and ulterior motives. Meanwhile, his detractors have lauded him for daring to speak against powerful entities often shielded by influence and media control.
