With polling over in all states, Umesh Shukla’s fictional web-series on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, titled Modi: Journey Of A Comman Man, is back online. Five episodes of the ten-part series were released on April 3, ahead of the Lok Sabha polls before being pulled down by the Election Commission for violating the Model Code of Conduct.
