During the current elections 2019 for Loksabha, various
political parties forged a united front (divided we stand together) only to
fight Modi & BJP to usurp power in 2019 was a sort of political samudra
manthan. In simple terms, they came together to make it a two way fight and used all the tricks in their bags to
derive amrut(nectar) by churning the ocean of milk(Janta) to seek votes and
become immortal(gain power).
Mr.Narendra Modi as his wont took the mantle on himself as
one man army and two men front with Mr. Amit Shah took the opposition headlong
and travelled the length and breadth of the country during a two month long
battle, tirelessly with full commitment and zeal thus need to be admired for
the same. There strategy to make this election as modicentric worked, the
opposition fell in to the trap thus loosing an opportunity to give alternative
narration and may pay heavy price for the same.
Modicentric election has had to work in favour of Modi because
basically as a person he is a symbol of most virtues the Indians look forward
to in a leader- self-made, selfless, spiritual, non-corrupt, non-attached, nationalist,
fearless, well read, a good communicator and a tireless worker whose commitment
to his party and the country cannot be questioned, facts do support above with
his grown stature as a world leader, held by many in high esteem, globally.
Given the above stature and nature of the BJP’s face, all
vitriolic thrown by the opposition at him, maligning him as communal, divisive,
corrupt, arrogant , dictatorial, anti democratic & anti institutional were presumable self goals(they mirrored
themselves), as the work of the Modi Govt. for last 5 years had reached the
last man in the line in terms of cleanliness, transport, Bank accounts, direct
benefits, electricity, Gas, Housing, Health Insurance and last but not the
least initiation of reservations of jobs to ecomically backward
section(foundation stone for future). All these benefits did not see caste and
religion but let us accept truly were”sabka saath Sabka Vikas” initiatives
(applauded by Muslims too)
Flogging the demon of demonetization and GST by the opposition ,it looks was also
a non-gainer as the majority voter per se was not hugely affected at all, of
course the lolly pop of Nyay to unemployed and lower income group is a big
ticket by them and some voters shall definitely get swayed by this apart from
the freebies served by all of them and it works apart from consolidation of
caste and Muslim votes to their advantage , the master strategists in Amit Shah
and Mr.Modi countered that with nationalism , Terrorism and of course article
370 and the Ram mandir to a great extent(not
to mention freebies ).
Everybody talks of low political discourse but fail to share
that when an election becomes person (modi) centric, this had to happen, let us
all accept that it is a battle of survival for all of them and spewing venom
out is an outcome of the (election battle) political Samudramanthan to get the nectar
(win), had the opposition not fallen in the trap and per sued their better narrative
and an alternative agenda (sadly they had none), the discourse could have been
better and outcome to their advantage.
Our Country as of now is on a good footing, on the right
course, in spite of the situations which are endemic viz unemployment,
industrial slowdown, agricultural imbalance and fiscal deficits. Regardless of
who comes to power, has no magic wand to remedy them, tackling external threats
while living up to the aspirations of diverse 130 Cr people is never ending and
complex as well, thus instead of blaming dispensation we all must be a party to
a concerted effort to be initiated and sustained by Govt. to tackle them towards
a growth story with integrity, love, zeal, discipline and brotherhood.
Elections over, back
to “business as usual”. As of now it looks advantage Modi. (TINA effect).
Jai hind
Yours truly Satish Shitut
