NARENDRA MODI

NARENDRA MODI

Narendra modi was just the chief minister of GUJRAT  some time back but now his persona hangs like a colossus across the length and breadth of this country this election is being run in presidential style though we are a parliamentary democracy the person has become bigger than the party

If you look at the opinion polls prior to MODI being named as the PM candidate the bjp was not anywhere there was no wave for the BJP but as soon as MODI has been named the fortunes for the BJP  has changed dramatically and it is expected to cross 200 tally

Why is there such a wave about MODI, why the hopes and aspirations of everybody young old and child have now become entwined with MODI is this all justified and how did this happen.

Firstly the country is looking for change they are looking for action and they are deeply unhappy with congress and its style of functioning people want  someone who has some credibility who has clean record and who has shown that he can perform and MODI has all these qualities

Whatever someone says about the growth figures of GUJRAT its today the most industrialised state in the country and no one has heard a scam coming out of GUJRAT from the last 10 yrs its not to say that everything is hunky dory there are still lakhs of people applying for jobs that pay less than 5000 a month they are down in all the parameters but at least it looks as if they are trying to do something and in today’s atmosphere that is more than enough.

The BJP by naming MODI has killed many birds with one stone MODI is the tallest leader of the hindutatva brigade and he need not spell it he is just the tallest with his mane being announced the loyal supporters of BJP has come together this base was drifting away from the BJP  but it looks as if it is now firmly behind the BJP , MODI being an OBC has also disturbed a lot of caste equations and this factor can be decisive in this elections .

Secondly MODI and BJP have been able to turn this election in an election for growth for jobs for a better life for everybody and they have a model states in GUJRAT   with which to home in this point and  they have been able to do that they have not shot themselves in the foot the way they have been doing for the last 2-3 elections that have not made this election personal  the way they did last time with LK ADVANI VS MANMOHAN SINGH  and lost miserably if they would have properly sold the growth model the last time results would have been different .

Also this time the election campaign of the BJP has been very light they have not been jingoistic  ,  beating their chest about security and terrorism the way they did last time and this you can see from their ad campaign and this has helped them create the  right atmosphere for them to win .

Modi himself has not gone over the top and has played the script very well talking about economy growth jobs and a better living standard he has played to his strength and has sold the GUJRAT  model well his speeches his attitude his body language and his confidence has been key factors in projecting himself a just the right candidate that India is looking for right now .

Secondly the media especially channels like NDTV had gone over the top in finding some fault with MODI  and they had nothing else then the Gujarat riots the by way they tried to run down MODI the way the congress and its leaders tried to somehow link MODI and riots and paint him as master has only helped in further concentrating  a lot of votes towards MODI .

So is he the right candidate

Well there is nothing wrong with MODI but there is everything wrong with the RSS the organisation that is the reason why MODI is being projected The problem with RSS  IS that is  unwilling to see that its philosophy the way it sees India and its future the way they want to go about all this its whole agenda has been shunned by the people of this country and it will do well not to bring that agenda back by the back door the BJP should now dictate as to how RSS should behave and the other way round but that is not going to happen if the RSS takes a win for BJP and  MODI as win for its ideology  and tries to impose its bullshit agenda its going to seriously harm the BJP  and this country and this and only this is the problem with MODI .

But all said and done the Bjp and Modi deserve a chance and they have proven that they can govern and do a much better job of that in a lot of states Gujrat , Madhaprdesh and Bihar  they should be given a chance to replicate this model across the country their earlier term was also considerably free of corruption and they did lot of things which were good take the highways for example India needs a new thought process and congress should be thrown out ,

Also Modi or any other leader in the Bjp has come up on its own accord they are hard working and committed people and not people who are leaders because of their birth or family Bjp is decentralised and cadre based party and they are any time 10 times better than what the congress  is offering

So yes  Modi  must win and there is nothing wrong with that
