Whether NaMO will be next PM ?
Whether Mr. Modi will
become the Prime Minister of India will the latest topic which is going to be discussed
by all News channels , intellectuals,
his fans ,his haters ,press, political parties till 2014 Loksabha election
results are declared. We do not think in independent India, there is no other person who has been
discussed as much as Mr. Modi, now fondly addressed as NaMo.
Modi would have been like another CM of BJP had he not
become so much controversial, post Godhra riots. [which snuffed the life of about 2000 minority
community members.] He overnight became famous not only within India even
abroad, due to which several western countries refused to issue him VISA,
especially USA. He perhaps, is the most hounded politician by all law enforcing
agencies of India; including courts for his role in post Godhra riots as the
chief Minister of that state. In the normal course he would have lost his JOB,
but destiny has decided something else. BJP veteran politician LKA became his savior,
who apparently after 10 years has become his opponent for the top JOB of this
country.
However, NaMo is one
person who will never say quits; therefore he used all his skills to build his
image as one of the top most pro –development CM of this country. He
concentrated on meeting the basic needs of common man like, better infrastructure
like road, electricity, water supply etc. Next level he called all the top
industrialists to his state for opening industries, so that urban Job issues
could be addressed. The common people started talking about Gujarat model of development,
including so many other state governments run by even his opposing parties, and
started slowly forgetting effects of riots, even though ,the media and
political parties continued their tirade against him to keep the issue alive.
Mean while all his opponents who continued to treat him as villain,
[media constantly discussed about him hours together, calling the same experts
again and again, whose views about him did not change a bit] made his image to
change from villain to victim [this is what happens if you over do the
propaganda war]. NaMo enjoyed these
critiques predicting doom all the time he faced an election, bringing the same issue
of Godhra riots again. This gave him additional fodder to come to power with
thumping majority every time he faced an election. These people were so much obsessed
with Modi hate campaign, that gave him enough popularity, and for the common
man it looked as though he is unfairly being hounded and they should help to
save him. He is now seen as one of the highly victimized hero who has magic
wand to solve the problem of this country. Thanks to so many scandals/scams and
mismanagement of economy by UPA II.Gujarat
Model of development is considered as the
ideal model of development for the rest of India and Modi is the person who can
do it .BJP therefore ,quickly
decided to name him for the top JOB,
despite his nomination being opposed by
many within the party . If his critiques continue to do the same blunder and
there is no doubt he may even occupy the top seat in 2014.
In our country, sadly communal riots pays rich dividends to
political parties.1984 Sikh riots [3000 Sikhs perished] resulted in congress
coming to power with three fourth majority. Post Babri demolition riots made
BJP to come to power. Post Godhra riots made Modi to return to power thrice with thumping majority. No amount
enquiries, cases, convictions could change the common man psyche. Therefore .these
armchair critiques sitting television studio making comments, make no sense to
either Modi or common man. It only helps to build his image further. He has plan.i.e;
he nurtures a clean image of non-corrupt, selfless politician, a messiah of
good governance [bachelor like Vajapayee] and a good pro development Administrator.
He has become darling of young India and a hope for future generation. His
speeches are articulated to attract young India. It is not sure whether this
translates into votes in 2014.He has dumped Anna Hazare and refused to appoint
lokayukta. Therefore it is not known whether he is a serious ant-corruption crusader.
At least BJP is not serious about it. Now Yeddy [former CM of Karnataka] wants
to come back to BJP, indicates the lack of seriousness of anti-corruption
crusade of BJP.
However, one thing NaMO has to watch is, Gujarat is not
India and also he has to promote himself from good Administrator to great
leader in this diverse country. Normally, state leaders refuse to outgrow
beyond the borders of their state. The one who has not worked in Delhi for a long
time would find difficult to develop larger vision for the whole country. We hope,
if he becomes PM he will change
[He is shrewd] himself to fit him to this frame work. We do
not need shrewd politician, we need leader with a vision, who can culturally, emotionally
unite India and bring in development which can benefit all sections of the
society. We must make India safe for living for all section of the society, irrespective,
caste, religion and language. India today needs a selfless leader, who is benevolent
dictator, yet the same time a great patriot and human being. Can Modi become
such leader is a mute point!
He seems to be the only hope...UPA seems to have failed miserably...Economy is down and scams have created a bad image for them.
ReplyDeleteThird front is a fiction...in fact it spells doom for the nation.
So it NDA...The challenge for Modi would also be to handle the frogs in the alliance. Not sure if he can drive his agenda easily as he is no Vajpayee. Assuming the industrialists are intelligent, their backing would definitely indicate that NaMo's vision is in the right direction.
