MODI ON CLOUD NINE Modi may not have initially bargained for this adulations at the start of his fast He may also not envisaged to test waters of any aspirations of a role at the centre The success of his limited fast and the backing of his own party cadres coupled with Akali Dal, SHIV Sena, AIDMK, ignoring the convenor of JD(U) in Bihar in his forward march .He is dreaming big , not only for the state of Gujarat , but the whole of India The notable stalwarts of BJP present on the last day of the fast had to accept his rising star with muted silence. Many of them have been at the most central Ministers ,fierce speakers and supporters, defenders of BJP on news channels, and that`s it None of them can match in stature, the charisma, statesmanship and tremendous following in his home state It was finally, however reluctantly, expressed publicly that he is the Prime Minister material for BJP This meteoric rise will not be easily swallowed by those, who are nursing higher ambitions and for the moment will lie low . The only potential challenge by Advani is no more in the reckoning. It is praise worthy that Modi in his plans not made any allegations or criticism against the congress, or individuals but on the contrary unfolded a dream to be materialized for the entire Nation, It is a sign that he himself is not limiting his dreams locally His plans to continue fasts in every district will only galvanise his popularity like no known leaders of BJP stock With all the stinging criticism ,aberrations in Governance, propaganda against him in Gujarat riots , he held sway on state elections decimating his opponents His is appeasing the minorities in a subtle ,but calculated manner. Some of the minority leaders have openly praised his development, incurring the wrath of their leaders and used a conciliatory attitude and appraoch
The counter fast , a ridiculous first of its kind was largely ignored even by the electronic media finding a mention only in passing reference The Modi`s fast of five star luxury received more attention than the calamity of Sikim earthquake tragedy His views on interviews aired by the media where statesman like , devoid of ranchor ,bitterness and counter attack Indians are really fed up with the BJP and the Congress continuously gunning at each other’s throat at all public forum The lowering of the image, pointing faults, raising every conceivable omissions and commissions of past and present, scoring brownie points is their favourite pastime Indians are really fed up with this drama day and night even in the Parliament The Congress is really jolted out of its slumber at the prospect of Modi ascending the centre stage and in days to come the allegations will tear him to pieces on various fronts. The BJP itself secretly enjoin the tirade against their own party person to settle personal ambitions. It is clear that Modi is aiming at his possible position, even though he is in position to deliver. The support of NDA will be crucial in the final count, as Nitish Kumar is paranoid about his own worth Shusma Swaraj Arun Jaitely, Ravi Shankar Prassad and others can at best remain in the wings with hope and prosper in the shadow of Modi The discussions will not be limited to ability, charisma, experience, standing, of Modi ,but the focus will be on all his aberrations with no holes barred, to portray him as an “apostle of violence “ The image of the congress is dented far beyond that of Modi in its ability to prevent crime, corruption and terror. The people are the best judge in the final analysis The devil is not all black as always understood .nelson lopes Chinchinim 9850926276
