Arundhati Roy: Big money' is backing Modi to end resistance

'Big money' is backing Modi to end resistance, says Arundhati Roy
"Now, we have a democratically elected totalitarian government. Technically and legally, there is no party with enough seats to constitute an opposition", says Indian-author and activist Arundhati Roy in an interview to Pakistan's Dawn newspaper.

"What he [Modi] will be called upon to do is not to attack Muslims, it will be to sort out what is going on in the forests, to sweep out the resistance and hand over land to the mining and infrastructure corporations. He has been chosen as the man who does not blink in the face of bloodshed, not just Muslim bloodshed but any bloodshed."

This loony woman is still hung up on her anti-"Big Dams" and theft of forest lands agenda.
Have BJP CM's like Raman Singh and Chauhan been any less ruthless for big money than NAMO when it comes to displacing tribals, so why are these secularists only targeting Nareendrabhai ?

Dear Sant ji
It is indeed ironic that both you and also Ms. Arundhati Roy are speaking the same language when it comes to demanding accountability and evidence from each other.
For instance on 15.May.2014 Ms. Roy demanded that the police show their evidence / proof against one Prof G.Saibaba, alleged LWE, before arresting him.

Making a case for stronger institutions of democracy and more transparency if activism had to be effective, Roy said corruption was a symptom arising out of power pulls and unethical practices of those in power. "Development needs to be balanced to suit everybody. These elections are about which corporate will come to power. Even the business community is upset with the manner in which only a handful of Indian conglomerates are amassing wealth," she added.
