Now Modi is turning a Tarnado in
Politics
“No one can
stop an idea the time for which has come”, said Napoleon. But no one
anticipated and no one knew last year that the time for Modi has come.His
constant and whirlwind rallies throughout India attended by millions of people have become his symbol of public
dialogue in free flow style. He aptly remarked in his massive rally that he
seeks to find solutions to the problems of masses whereas his opponent is
seeking to find ways to stop him only. No doubt there is not much to say with
the opponents and only thing they harp is to invoke 2002 riots in spite of the
fact that highest judiciary has cleared him. Some time they find his errors and
blame his lack of knowledge as if the job of Prime Minister has to be a post of
Dean Research of a university. They have nothing substantial to beat him.Some
time they say he is giving wrong picture of Gujarat as it was already developed
which is a laughable statement as the data speaks otherwise on most of the
indices that are acknowledged by foreign journals too. Last year I was waiting that his opponents
would make all efforts and clandestine plans to rid of him. All conspiracies
have failed and for that matter he is too clever as any other simpleton would
have fallen in some trap. No one will believe that Government that rated
various states on power supply last minute cancelled the conference to announce
it as Gujarat was emerging at the top. Can we shun the truth so that limit and
that also not a political party but government that under oath, is
constitutionally expected to be fair to all. Obviously there is appalling fear
in declaring him good. Europe, England and even US finally gave in to his
achievement and established contacts with him on his terms. That is why he says
‘Desh ko nahin jhukne doonga’.
There have
been many pre-poll surveys before announcement of elections and he is emerging
on the top . There may be many who would doubt some paid ones while there is
massive paid news against Modi but he directly communicates to masses in his
huge rallies where people even pay to attend. I am inclined to believe Chetan Bhagat, who owns the outcome of
his own survey covering almost million respondents and it is not possible to cheat
easily on net voting inspite of the fact that there are limitations of all surveys.
He has done four surveys starting from 13January to 3rd March.His
results are BJP60% (75%) AAP 36%(21%) and Congress 4%(4%). These are January
figures whereas brackets show the latest March figures. It is because of Modi
wave that BJP is rising by 15% and AAP going down by 15%.
In terms of
ideology and vision Modi has made sea change in BJP’s original religion focus
to parity of sarva dharma by
asserting that he will treat everyone equally and national interest and
Constitution will be the religion. His right of the centre vision is meant to
bring more jobs and investment to grow at faster rate. AAP has no ideology and
Congress seems to have lost its glorious principles mauled by scams and
minorityism. It pains me personally to see the decline of ethos of Congress as
I have still large number of their top leaders close associates dear to my
heart but one cannot shun truth and this failure to see truth is lethal for
congress.
I am looking
at phenomena of change as a social scientist without fear or favor to any
political party. I wish if we all look at the transition in these high
inflation and depressing times and see coming storm of change and transformation,
we will find hope in Narender Modi as a leader of the nation. Modi might
proclaim et ala Faiz “ Yon hi hamesha ulajhati rahi hai zulum se khalaq / na unki
rasm nai hai na apni reet nai/ Yon hi hamesha khilaye hain hamne aag main
phool/ na unki har nai hai na apni jeet nai’
Bus Stop
