SUPREME COURT CLEAN CHIT. Is it a time for celebration to lift the burden of guilt on Modi`s head The court has not granted the filing of FIR on the basis of evidence provided. The case will go back to the Magistrate for final disposal. It may be decided either way The report or charge sheet by SIT, Amicus curie has to be submitted to the Magistrate There are no strictures on Modi, intepreted as the clean chit, and it appears the out come is a procedural matter. The S.C court has not given weightage to the SIT report The news is raised to feverish pitch to promote him as Prime Ministerial candidate. There is another potential candidate in Advani, who has not given up his life`s dream to an elusive post.Narendra Modi appears to be washed clean of all criminal charges and has this opened up the avenues for his undeclared , assumed aspirations to the highest post.? There are other young candidates in B.J.P eagerly waiting in the wings and no more favourably inclined towards the decadent leader , who has outlived his utility and in spite of his efforts in building the party. He will remain an YATRA MANTRA In Bihar, Nitish Kumar is not hiding his ambitions and so is Mayawati in U.P. There are serious problems facing Gujarat Govt other than 2002 , Godra communal riots It is argued that Modi is a local leader with all his progress indices.He has no pan India image, unwanted in campaigning in Bihar and his recent campaigning was not produced desired outcomes He has tried to punish upright officers inconvenient to his perfect image. It is a surmise that Modi with high ambitions will promote and support Advani in Gujarat. VCourt Judgemnets do not make or break a leader, even though this was not true in the case of the architect of Emergency But who is worried of the rise of the sphinx of Modi from the ashes ? The congress party is proposing openly the crown prince, a political novice, an amaeture of Gandhi scion much in advance, The senior congress party leaders see no wrong in this move and even the experience , seasoned leaders are bending, genuflecting backwards to make it happen In a democratic party, the leader is decided after the election by majority consensus of the coalition partners If the party has the majority, then it can elect its leader to be the PM. The exercise may appear to be democratic, though it is ordained with the tacit approval of the party chief, tolerating no open dissensions as the strict party discipline The general protests as to the fitness of the candidate are in consequential in the eyes of the process, Why the congress should discredit the person of Modi in advance as not having all India image?, The image of Manmohan Singh , Rajiv Gandhi and perhaps Raul Gandhi is forced on the people by a campaign and propaganda. Is India bereft of any potential leader, that it is an unwritten law, that the choice should always fall on the a single family? What about the image make over of P.M. of the day , with scandal galore tarnishing his image as the weakest P.M., who speaks little and the little he speaks is not listened to It would be better that P.M.was directly elected by the People. It is tall order that will not fructify even in the near future Let the legal process exonerate or condemn any one by due process of law. It is not justifiable that the final decision will be influenced and outcome predetermined Guilty have been acquitted and innocent punished at times, but that is the faith and trust we repose in the judicial system and must abide by the decisions.
