On the other hand, CPI(ML) leader Kavita Krishnan has not been so tacit about her disdain for PM Modi's wildlife adventure. She has called him a fascist, climate change denier, forest communities' killer and a corporate crony who wishes to destroy wilds in India & Australia. She further condemns the British Discovery Channel TV host for featuring such a personality on his show.
The Rashtriya Janata Dal meanwhile took a dig at the previous Modi government's claiming down 1,09,75,844 trees in 5 years for "development" with no reforestation efforts.
The Prime Minister himself took to Twitter to promote the episode, stressing his world-wide fans to visit different parts of India and add to the discourse of environmental conservation.
