A day ago, an American travel influencer named Tara Katims was criticised for taking a Dharavi slum tour in Mumbai and posting a video about it.

Disruption of the ability of the opposition to run political campaigns has been well pronounced since January 1, 2024 to March 22, which can even be seen in the political advertising through Google. No national political party other than the BJP is among the top 10 political campaigners online.
