Propaganda to lift ratings also has a shelf life

In three days the broadcast of the latest episode of Mann-Ki-Baat has garnered a measly 8,400 views on BJP's official YouTube Channel. Incidentally, the channel has more than 63 lakh subscribers, ie. only 0.13% of bhakts have tuned in to listen to their leader.

It is just a propaganda tool to lift the sagging ratings of the world's most popular leader. This is not an exception, people who have been tracking this metric for many months opine that the viewership seldom exceeds 1 lakh at best.

Propaganda too has a shelf life and MKB may be past it's sell by date.
