Modi: The Winner!

Election results have already crowned Modi as the un-disputed king of many Indian hearts. He mesmerized everyone with his oratory skills, logical references during discussion, being impartial to religion, caste and society; and being focused solely on one agenda of development and good governance. It was his efforts, which mobilized and energized all the BJP and Sangh workers to work tirelessly. As a result, lotus (BJP’s election symbol) bloomed all across India.

Modi is a 63 years old, but he exhibited energy, thought process, and alignment of one in young India brigade. He always wanted people from all across the country to come to Gujarat, and get employed. He wants women to be empowered; and has nominated a women as the next chief minister of Gujarat. While he is always suggestive of his own religion, he always talked about “Sabka Saath, Sabkaa Vikaas’. He has seemed to be a forward thinker, and looked promising to majority of Indians.

Modi & Gujarat riots: Not Again!

It has been very unfair to hold him responsible for Gujarat riots. What happened in Gujarat during 2002 riots was condemnable. It should not have happened. However, claiming that it happened under Modi’s supervision is an improper statement, particularly when many investigative agencies have not been able to convict him. It can very well be debated on how effectively he handled the overall situation, whether he utilized the available resources optimally; whether he orchestrated his managerial skills perfectly or not.  I have seen many leaders crumpling under pressure, and not able to perform during challenging situations. However, let us not use that as an excuse; and allow the investigations on Gujarat riots to conclude. Political parties using Gujarat riots as an option to counter Modi is understood; however so-called intellectuals continue to harp on that episode, and speak viciously against a man is overdone. Hoping that a right sense will prevail, and they will use common sense, and be judicious when presenting their analysis going forward.

Modi & Path ahead

I had predicted 200-220 seats for BJP party, however public have provided a huge platform to Modi and BJP by giving them the majority. There are expectations from the new government, to take India forward, fulfill dreams of poor, villagers, farmers and each and every one.

Modi will have to be at his best, and deliver similar results as done in Gujarat. He and his team will have to put India back onto economic and social development path; and bring glory to the country.
