Ache din anewale haim Modi has been rightly called the dream merchant and through his eloquent speeches has marketed both in India and abroad has mesmerized audiences into believing them. The despondency, policy paralysis ,incumbency, and corruption scandals , besides concerted, personal campaign by BJP has led to obliteration of the Congress party. The Congress has become irrelevant opposition so it seems in both in state and Parliamentary elections. Captivating campaign against corruption, family rule, black money, saab ka vikas, saab ke saat, ache din ane wale haim, swept the voters into believing the change for better, The disillusion has had its effect in Delhi elections, wherein the BJP had to bite the dust. In Mharashtra and Kashmir BJP is sharing power with these parties against whom it fought a running war of words and accusations, Power is the common denominator in the aspiration of BJP. While accusing Congress of concentration of power in the first family, BJP for all purposes is steered by P.M only, as no one dares to speak out of turn. The defense Minister is inaugurating fish stalls, while P,M signs the deal in France for military aircraft. It is only the RSS sound bites that seem to indicate, as to where the power centre lies , but the P.M in his wisdom seem to silently swallow the insults and deliberate pin pricks
After winning landslide majority in Parliament and some states, the BJP juggernaut is halted into its track to introspect on being pulverized in Delhi election in spite of having invested all the resources at its command Never in the history of Independent India the whole country is in turmoil for the BJP in connivance with RSS and other fringe elements promoting hate campaigns, dividing the Nation vertically on communal lines and polarizing the voters openly on communal and religious basis Fear and apprehension has gripped the minorities due to various atrocities all over India affecting safety, security and fundamental rights guaranteed by Constitution. The brute majority seems to assure the BJP that it can steam role all opposition at least in Lokh Sabha through the route of excessive ordinances. It is tasting the bitter medicine in Raja Sabha,of stalling proceedings, which was earlier prescribed by itself The President of USA in no uncertain terms has lashed against religious intolerance The European Nations have cautioned India against the persecution of religious minorities not being conducive to foreign investment or growth and development The stirring of peaceful atmosphere all over India by frequent disruptive, religious and communal utterances has vitiated the atmosphere after the advent of majority Govt. of BJP. There is absolute no control on fringe elements with their sarcastic, caustic utterances that are designed to indicate the supremacy of Hindutva psyche. The rising prices on all fronts, bans, attack on minority religious estab lishments, insensitivity towards farmers by land grab and natural disasters, communal flare ups, instigating the minorities, justification and rationalizations of all problems by pointing fingers to the previous Govt,is no soothing balm to the ills facing the populace to day There is increasing concentration to advance, promote the cause of Hindutva imagining perhaps that it is the one time, divine opportunity to push forward rigorously intolerable religious fanaticism. BJP will also sooner or later go the way of Congress decimation, unless it realizes its folly of the pedestal of majority and ignores the historical mandate to fulfill all its grandiose dreams.
