How to use bogus in a sentence?
They are spreading rumors that we are relying on the Russian government and doing harm, and on its face it's bogus.
J P Andolan was bogus, Janlokpal movement was a drama, Patel agitation was a dirty game. The protestors leaders were found to be politicians and govt planted people only. This farmers protest is going in the same direction. Poor farmers are likely to feel cheated
There is so much similarity between Farmers protest and Jan Lokpal agitation. Some leaders are same, the method is similar. Jan Lokpal movement turned out to be bogus with its leaders planted by Govt only in people. The benefit of Janlokpal agitation was reaped by only its leaders who enjoy all luxury now and the protesters felt ditched only by them. Protesting farmers should keep an eye on its leaders as who they meet in private.
And every single time those reasons have been bogus, every time. Just like they're bogus today.
Job portals often carry bogus vacancies of the companies as these are never filled up by recruiting the candidates.
