#NaMO and BJP- chicken first and then the hen!
While a teenager, Modi ran a tea
stall with his brother around a bus terminus. He completed his schooling in
Vadnagar, where a teacher describes him as being an average student but a keen
debater.
The hashtag #ModiHangout became the
most trending term in India on Twitter on the day of the hangout session
recently, whereas #VoteOutModi, used by Modi's opponents, became the third most
trending term in the country.
This is what we call evolution, and
I respect NaMo for this! Narendra Modi is going to hog a lot
of bandwidth on internet!
Mr. Modi isn’t particularly known
for his love for democratic opposition. His heavy handed ways of working
combined with the Congress’ historical spinelessness vis-à-vis communal
politics has resulted in a situation where there is no visible
democratic/parliamentary opposition or alternative to Modi and his brand of
politics in Gujarat. Looks he adores the advantage of being the most favorable
candidate for the post of Prime Minister.
Nitin Gadkari lost his post of BJP
national president due to his opposition to Modi’s PM candidature. L K Advani,
the Hindutva heavyweight with laurel like Rath Yatra, heading Babri demolition
and coining the term pseudo-secular, is now reduced to nobody for being Modi’s
contender. In the recent Goa conclave, many senior-most BJP leaders cited
health reasons for not attending. Soon after he was declared the head of
election campaign committee, there was a breakup between two historical lovers,
BJP and JDU. Or it was just an attraction until now, as it happens in case of
most loving couples?
The recent speeches being delivered
by Narendra Modi are more like India is his baby and he cares for it a lot. To
prove it, he speaks how he took care of his first baby Gujrat and it is now
growing elder, developing. I ask, is Gujrat the only baby cared and brought up
by BJP? Perhaps not in all fields, but I am sure that other BJP ruled states
have something worth to share with the country, India. Why is the election
campaign committee chief not promoting Bharatiya Janata Party- party as a
whole? Why is the Gujrat model of Governance and/or NaMo as a leader being
endorsed like anything?
I see it as- One, Narendra Modi is
the only product which the BJP depends on for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections,
though this product launch is not principally approved by many senior party
members. Two, there are high chances that NaMO as a product threatens the line
of other products which are/can be produced. Three, BJP as a party was
unsuccessful in building couple of products, at least, in parallel, to promote
the party as a team. Four, mis-governance by the congress gives a chance to BJP
to come to power, after about a decade. BJP does not want to miss this chance
and NaMO is the only product that can be launched, advertised and sold!
Case in point justifies that NaMO
is taming the BJP, which should seldom be the case for a historical and big parties
like BJP. NaMO stands a fair chance, BJP stands a good chance, and this is the
sequence. Seems like chicken first and then the hen!
