PM address to the nation: 'Much Ado about Nothing', did not say what the entire nation was eager to hear from PM's Mouth

“Much Ado About Nothing” was one of the best comedy of William Shakespeare PM’s sixth address to the nation since Covid-19 broke outwas certainly not a comedy but a big disappointment to people who were expecting something from our PRIME MINISTER…. Was it to attract Bihari voters ?

 

The phrase “Much Ado about nothing” was normally used to describe a situation in which there has been a lot of excitement about something which actually was not there. It comes from the Title of a humorous play by William Shakespeare. Today’s address to the nation though was not a comedy, but certainly it the excitement for PM’s address was for nothing.

Modiji did not touch upon the important burning issues... we were eagerly expecting to hear from PM's mouth. The 25 Minutes of Prime Minister’s 6^th address to the nation (since Covid 19 broke out) was a sheer wastage of time. I cancelled all my programme to listen to his address to the Nation. He disappointed me, I was expecting him to touch upon the burning issues of unemployment, business boost up, and three challenges (1) Covid-19 (2) INDO-CHINA border disputes and (3) Locust-Terror attack.

 1)     Announced that free foodgrain scheme to poor families will be extended till November.

 REACTION: But cannot this be informed through a press release or by any of his senior Minister… This announcement did not require PM’s announcement

 2)     Asked all of us to stay healthy and observe all the precautions necessary to beat Corona and maintain physical distance.

 REACTION: What a great revelations as if we were not aware of it… what else we have been doing for the past three months. Rather he should pass this message to people like BABA RAMDEV, who is addressing national and international media without observing the precautions.

 3)     He announced that Mansoon festival season is coming

REACTION: As if we were not aware of it…. Sorry, Modiji, I like you but you disappointed me...need to change your  advisor to avoid wasting your and our time.
