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!

  1. 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.
    Third 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.
