These channels – which can be called Virodhi media (or opponent media) channels run programs to intentionally abuse and defame prime minister (PM) Narendra Modi.

Almost all the Virodhi media channels operate in Hindi language, as their owners lack English language skills.
With totally false rhetoric against PM Modi, Virodhi media channels on YouTube make fake performance claims.
Virodhi media channels are run by retired or retrenched workers from traditional media outfits and they cannot be called real journalists.
Fraudulent practices are rampant on Virodhi media YouTube channels.
Anti-Modi Virodhi media channels mostly support opposition party Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi.
