Modi and corruption

The 2019 elections process for 17th National Parliament of India started yesterday with first of the seven phases of polling.

However the campaign for 2019 elections started many years back in 2015 when political goons like Hardik Patel, Alpesh Thakor and Jignesh Mewani were hired by congress in Gujarat. Likes of communist thug Kanaiyah and separatist/extremist/communist elements like Umar Khalid and Shehla Rashid are always maturing in the hate lab, the JNU.

A right wing government is always an easy target of students groups, communist aligned media, art sector, NGO’s etc. Their reach is global and within moments of an act, the spiced and spiked stories were already circulating in western media, read by the same people whom Modi was tireless wooing to invest in India.

Vemula, Una, JNU, Jagdalpur, Kashmir University. Each fault-line was targeted and disturbed to create unease among  restless youngsters who are easy to make believe that they are not getting what they deserve. Remember, the youngsters in large numbers had voted for Modi in 2014. Opposition targeted the most susceptible, results were stupendous.

“In the name of Dalits, Minorities, Muslims, Extremists”, a sustained campaign was launched which kept the government perpetually on the edge. Anyone slightly weak hearted than Modi would have crumbled under the massive assault of congress, communists, (up in arms) youngsters, Dalit movement, Patel movement, Minorities movement, Extremists movement, power brokers, defense brokers, newstraders, the rotten government machinery, unhappy dozen + dynasties including Shiv Sena, disgruntled Yashwant, Shourie, Advani, Jaswant, Shatrughan.

Then there were extremely unpopular things that were long pending but only this Govt with absolute majority could have done; namely GST and Demonization.

The illiterate Hindu was waiting for revenge against ‘saffron terror tag’. He believed that his time has finally come.

There was a complex matrix of massive corruption cases against Vadra, Gandhi Family, 2G, Coal Scam, Augusta, etc etc etc that needed to be unearthed in a country where it takes 5-10 years to execute proven terrorists like Afzal and Kasab. Imagine, people who are caught on camera ruthlessly spraying bullets on innocent people in the financial capital city of India. An open and shut case takes number of years. Fodder scam criminal Lalu Yadav went on to become a Railway minister and read 5 budgets in Indian National Parliament! Yes the same guy who was jailed in the past and is currently in prison and can’t contest elections even when he comes out.

You had a defunct land bill passed by congress in December 2013 that would totally crumble investments. You had Indian investors going out and no foreign investor coming in the wake of the vodaphone retrospective tax case.

You had an out of control Kashmir situation. Pakistan losing hold of itself. China playing the game of survival at the back of terror nation.

And you had Modi who believed that he could bring about the change. He made large promises which were not easy to come by. It takes a man made of some other metal to withstand the rampant assault by everyone who was not a BJP supporter or was within the BJP/NDA but was a dynast or was a non performing liability or was past the certain age.

So, yes the preparations for 2019 started immediately after 2014. When the basic point of contention among a group of intellectuals is that a right wing party must not be allowed to administer the country then the question about being good or bad is irrelevant. “Every good is bad and each bad is even worst - that’s the starting point”. Modi was guilty before trial whereas Gandhis, Lalu, Afzal, etc are innocent after trial.

The kind of abuse that’s been thrown at Modi is not only unprecedented but sheer distasteful. If Modi doesn’t respond with some sarcasm, his voters will abandon him. Governance is taking the right decisions, politics is not allowing you opponent to lead the narrative.

In coming days when congress and BJPs other political ‘enemies’ would understand the magnitude of their ensuing defeat, they will spread more lies and abuse more filthily, but that will have to be taken with a pinch of salt.

This narrative of hate and non cooperation was scripted by BJPs enemies and opponents, there is no way BJP voters would accept defeat because someone attempted to force a false narrative. Eventually, BJP will win disproportionately which is something not too good for a large democracy like us but this narrative is not a BJPs doing. Opposition has pushed not only Modi and BJP but the voters of BJP to take an extremely hard stand on political opponents, the results will not be fair but blaming BJP isn’t the solution, introspection might be.
