[71988] Criticism online: Call for the Prime Minister of India to increase the fight against air pollution

Calls to improve air quality in India inspired by Norway

In a series of posts published on May 23, 2026, criticism directed at the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, regarding the state of air quality in the country appeared on social media. Users juxtaposed the environmental situation in India with the situation in Norway, which is characterized by clean air.

User Oyemisty, who published the main claims and gained wide exposure of over 25,000 views, wondered in his post: "Can the Prime Minister of India provide such clean, beautiful, and pollution-free air to the people of his country?". In the same post, nature in Norway was praised, with a link to the local landscape.

At the same time, user GovindGovind uploaded a similar claim, in which he asked the same question: "Can the Prime Minister of India provide such clean, beautiful, and pollution-free air to the people of his country?".

It is evident that the messages reflect an agenda of Indian government supporters who seek to shine a spotlight on environmental issues, alongside eager anticipation for Prime Minister Modi's upcoming appearance on the "Mann Ki Baat" radio program, which is expected on May 31 at 11:00 AM (India time), as noted in the posts by Oyemisty.
