Simplifying 2019
BJP has almost finished its 5 year term and is now seeking mandate for next 5 years.
Opposition is broadly alleging that;
1. Institutions are under stress
2. It is a corrupt Govt
3. Modi is a dictator
4. Constitution is in danger
5. Economy is in shambles
6. Job distress
7. Farm distress
8. Media is under stress
Now, for starters what’s the composition of opposition? Correct me if I am wrong here but main opposition parties are dynasties like Gandhi’s, Pawars, Abdullahs, Mulayam/Lalu Yadav’s, Chauthalas, Ajit SINGH Dynasty, DMK, TDP, PDP, TRS, YSRC, JDS etc. I am not counting MP/MLA level dynasts like Pilot, Scindia etc as there are few such in BJP as well.
So broadly there are a dozen dynasties that are fighting Modi and they have some sort of common agenda with erratic Mamata, insanely corrupt Maya, and a dilapidated version of communists who have no idea if they are coming or going .....
Now let’s analyze the charges against Modi:
1. Most landmark judgements have come during previous 5 years. Judges have openly expressed themselves.
2. Most landmark legislation has been cleared during current parliaments tenure.
3. Yes CEC’s don’t become cabinet ministers supervising ‘commonwealth games grade of corruption’ anymore so democracy might be in danger.
4. No elected leader has faced so much abuse and hate as Modi has so when someone says the media is under stress, they mean that they rule the roost anymore.
5. Dynasties do not exist in democracies so if dynasties are stressed it means democracy is flourishing.
6. Getting used to a Defiant and Decisive PM as compared to a stamp paper PM (who was incapable of making any decision without the consent of the owners of his party) may give a feeling of authoritarianism but the country needs nothing less than implementable foresight with compromise or emotions.
7. If newstraders feel out of favor, it’s actually a good thing. NDTV is anti BJP mouthpiece, Barkha is a power broker, Sardesai and family are disciples of the dynasties.
8. Economy is well and truly in recovery mode and that’s going to be visible in coming 5 years. Those who say economy is stressed would also say that economy was great during 2004-14. I rest my case on economy argument.
9. Farm distress is real and is not going to get sorted till Govt has enough money to support small farmer irrespective of his crops. Very unfortunately that time is still 2-3 years away.
10. Jobs are available buy alleged engineers and management pass outs from jokes of institutions are simply unemployable. It’s a fact that they either add some skill or become small entrepreneurs.... they will never get jobs.
2019 is being contested on the Paranoia built since 2015. It’s a narrative that works for drawing room champions and perpetual hate mongers. It didn’t work for most because it’s not true on the ground. In some cases there are reasons to worry, in some areas there is possibility of much improvement but there is no reason for paranoia, country is safer hands compared to available dynasts or erratic tyrants ....
As the elections are progressing, the abuses and lies are peaking. It’s clear that Modi is en-route to a much bigger mandate than 2014. All media, markets, administrative indicators are pointing at a bigger than massive victory for Modi. The credit for the ensuing mandate for Modi is solely with current opposition who converted electoral process into a war since 2015 and disrupted far more than proportionate. There are 2 parties to war, BJP supporters are far more in numbers and rock solid. Facing social media defeats day by day, Modi’s opponents became abusive. Rag Boy discovered or was ill advised to press corruption charges. Gloves came out and a bloody war is continuing since 4 years. Today we reach the final 4 weeks of it.
