MoDI anointed After dilly dallying over a considerable period and much thinking, Modi has earned his nomination to be the campaign manager. The great hindrance and opposition was from within the party is laid to bare. It only added to the pleasure of Congress in the UPA II, as BJP party men were fighting the battle, as if to say proxies of the Congress. Ambitions and over ambitions had better of them than the good of the party Mr L.K.Advani no doubt has not lost his race long ago, but refuses to see the writing on the wall. He forgets how he was dethroned from his pedestal of leader of opposition because of his praises on Jina. He was also forced to state that he was not in P.M race, An astrologer had forecast that the chair of P.M will always evade him till death.He came closest as the Deputy P.M during Vajpayee tenure. Those who seem to support him have own axes to grind in the hope that they will surface as an alternative. BJP party is made up of unknown supporters on whose strength alone the executive draws inspiration, Hence a few executives or few disgruntled members do not make up the BJP party. In fact Shusma Swaaraj and Arun Jaitely owe their rise to power on their appointments by BJP .By themselves and so called merit, it is a far cry that they are most wanted, which they seem to presume. Does Shusma needs to be reminded about her resolve to stand against Sonia from wherever she seeks her elections. In fact she had to enter through Raja Sabha for a popular leader she assumes to be. If the party could decide their positions, so also the party can rightfully decide more germane issues. Whether they agree with reservations, without the party affiliations they are lost in the political arena and thus made to swallow their pride. The options to leave the party will have serious implications in their political career No individual is above the party. Which of the tall BJP leader has all India acceptance for the post of P.M.?
Mr Modi had a past like everybody does, but he has also a future. If the BJP can sink with Modi as a candidate, it surely will sink with any one else .At least the charisma of Modi is a hope Modi won 3 successive elections in Gujerat ,besides Lok Sabah sweep recently. His development model in Gujerat is the envy of any BJP ,leader , which has to be replicated The dissent in the party of BJP is a sign of democratic principles coming to the fore, which must be appreciated Modi will need all the help from the stalwarts , if he assumes responsibilities and it is just mere speculations to discredit that he cannot take India forward with the same spirit and determination. UPA II dreads the rise of Modi, for they have no leader to counter act his march The scams of CWG, Coalgate, Helicopter deals and many other monumental corrupt practices have weighed down the UPA Ii People are crying for a change, good governance, corrupt free govt, employment generation and to hold high the prestige of India in the community of Nations The Congressman with experience and in their anxiety to please, bend and genuflect are shamelessly putting a political novice as their head and thereby willing to do that his bidding only to ensure their political survival They also intend to manipulate him in this vast ocean of political turmoil of uncertainty having to lean on them He has not shown any responsibility in Govt. administrations even at a lower level, It is surprising that Man Mohan is betting and putting his full weight behind him. Is he paying his debt for his rise to ascendancy to power, which he never ever dreamt of Let the people judge, if the there is any comparison worth the salt between Gandhi and Modi. India has been ruled by the Congress for ten decades and more and it is not right or just to make it look like hereditary inheritance to be handed over on a platter Modi is assuring hope to meet the aspiration of the young rising generation for a better future and this they do on proven progress and development and his single minded devotion to root out corruption He deserves a chance, and all the talk of communalism is hogwash The best chance ever for the BJP to assume the reign of power at the centre, but all attempts to sabotage from within, the popular mood must be resisted, BJP has given an inclination to control dissent thus far in its far reaching decisions Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
