Why does NDTV News always show against PM Modi?

NDTV News has been accused of having a bias against Prime Minister Modi since he took office in 2014. Critics cite the network's coverage of his policies and activities as being overly negative. The network has also been accused of giving too much airtime to opposition politicians, while not providing enough coverage of the government's achievements. NDTV insists that it is objective and impartial in its reporting, and that its coverage is based solely on facts and the truth. However, many people still believe the network is biased against the Prime Minister and his government.
