No proof yetTrick: Picks only some factsWhile many major policy and economic targets face severe shortfalls, some promises were met or partially kept. The Reel's claim of absolute failure across all 25 items is an overstatement.
The trick: Picks only some facts
It shows the facts that fit and leaves out those that don't (known as cherry-picking).
"कुछ भी नहीं हुआ इसमें से।"
Highlighting a selection of missed policy targets does not prove that no initiatives or promises were successfully completed.
How this trick works and how to answer it →
What each side says

Critics and opposition partiesOpposition parties argue that government claims and policy announcements have failed to produce tangible benefits for citizens. The Hindu
How it tries to persuade you
It wants you to think: "The government has deliberately deceived the public for 25 years without delivering a single successful initiative."
While critics point out that many economic and infrastructure targets remain unfulfilled, independent analyses show that some key promises have been delivered or partially kept. A list of missed targets does not prove that no initiatives succeeded.
- Loaded language: "Happy 25 years of fooling the nation!". This frames the entire 25-year governance record as a deliberate act of deception, steering the viewer to dismiss any policy outcomes as mere tricks.
