The Unstoppable Modi
“Narendra
Modi to Gujarat is like Atal to the nation..” says Tarun Vijay of Rediff. One can not
fully endorse this statement, because NaMo, as he is called, is & was a national figure for many
Indians for the last 5-7 years of his tenure. But why ? It is just
for his relentless effort for a
Clean, Green, Non-corrupt , Develop oriented leadership skill…..
In spite
of his great tenure for the last 10 years, Modi was always been in the
forefront of criticism from the so called secularists of the nation. But
actually as far as a general observer, one can notice that, such allegations are
totally absurd and baseless…
Allegation 1 – Modi represents the Manuvadi
Brahmin party BJP
BJP
has been branded as a Brahmin Party and such a question looks totally
irrelevant when you talk about
Modi. Modi belongs to a OBC section of Hinduism
which clearly is not a Brahmin nor
a forward community. It should also be noted that his OBC sect
is only comprises 2% of the total population of the Gujarat state. Hence the allegation of BJP being a sectarian
party don’t have any in depth value as
such. It was BJP who asked the Kesubhai Patel to step down and installed Modi
to the CM because of Kesubhai’s failure.
In fact the sectarian card which was played by Kesubhai by trying to take out the
Patel community vote bank was out rightly rejected by the BJP and the
people.
Allegation 2 – Modi is communal and against
Muslims.
There
was not even a single communal issue in the last 10 years in Modi’s rule. And there is no other state in india which can hold such a great
record for such a long period either. Also
in the 2002 episode it was 700+ muslims and 250+ hindus who were killed in that riot,
but again and again the so called secularists and a section of media kept on their ranting like “Modi
killed 2000+ muslims.” which is a blatant lie.Even the
Wikipedia states these numbers.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Gujarat_violence ( see the portion Toll)
Allegation 3 – Modi polarize the society.
This time election analysis cleraly stated that not only BJP
consolidated in the urban areas, it has clearly made good inroads in the rural
areas. In the section wise calculation of hindu religion, even after a powerful
Patel leader like Kesubhai left the party, Modi was still preferable to most of
the Patels. More than 23% Muslims voted for him. Hence across length and
breadth of the state, Modi really excelled in his performance and hence the
argument of polarization is absolute without any ground reality.
Allegation 4 – The development image of Gujarat
is a propaganda
As some section of the media says, Gujarat success for good governance
was never because of the propaganda of
BJP people. The economic index was prepared by the world body Of THE 2012
LEGATUM PROSPERITY INDEX™ RANKINGS
In
this index, Gujarat ranks number 15 in the whole world and is equated with
Germany..!!
( Please see that India is ranked as 101 and my state Kerala, which boosts that it has progressed like an average European country ranks only in the 30th position..)

In
fact in the earlier times ( before BJP or Modi started ruling the state ) in none
of the above indexes, Gujarat was leading in the international
calculations, except some of the business strides by some of the
Gujaratis.
If you compare Gujarat to Bengal where the Marxists were in power for
nearly 30 years, Communists were not able to bring in any achievements in an international level.
The
prominent Indian magazine of India today in its state conclave analysis also
predicted that Gujarat was doing much better than any state in India.
Allegation 5 - Modi cant influence other BJP states
Also
allegations are there which says that no other places BJP was good and hence Modi was never set an example to others. Raman singh
of BJP is now going to rule his second time because of his good governance. Also Madhya
Pradesh CM Sivaraj Chauhan, is making good progresses in his state. These are not BJP propaganda as you can see
the in the media clearly.
Allegation 6 – Modi is autocratic and brought up a party
inside party.
It is quite clear that Modi created a persona
without any parallels. This is indeed because of his simple approach even to
its detractors. Even in the victory
speech he really thanked the 6 crore gujaratis for the win and was not at all
hesitant to visit the rebel leader Kesubhai in his house. Lots of time Modi had emotionally expressed
his anger to the question of how can he be bigger than the party himself.
Allegation 7 – Gujarat is not India and India is not
Gujarat.
Section
of media always says that Gujarat is not India and India is not Gujarat. It is
one simple idea to stop Modi to come in the national political arena. When a person can lead a state without any
sectarian divisions to a fully
development model, it is an ample evidence that he is fully fit to extend his
methodology to the whole nation. Modi
has created lasting relationships across the length and breadth of the world
through various electronic methodologies.
No other state leader would have made contact with common man like Modi
did. Hence with such an approach, if he
can deliver to the whole nation, then he defenitely can extend his profile to
that greater national scenario.
In spite of all these obstacles, Modi never got disappointed. The biggest
strength for Modi was, from each and
every victory he moved on and used it as a stepping stone for the next oncoming
milestone.
Strength 1 – Dynamic leadership.
As a person, Modi , always preferred
to be communicative to the issues and problems of the common man. He is a workholic who works nearly 14 hours a
day. A bachelor in life, Modi devotes most of his time to spend in office
concentrating the state affairs. The dynamism also is quite evident in his speeches
and the methodology how he delivers the ideas and how he respond to the
questions from the public.
Strength 2 – Far reaching relation to people.
Two examples which need to be shown
here are how Modi interacted with 2 southern political stalwarts of current
Indian political system. The first one
was the VR Krishna Iyer who was the first law minister of of Kerala and a
veteran Communist leader.
Mr. Iyer writes :
Dear Narendra Modi,
After glancing through the
material you had sent through courier I hold you as a part of the Indian
history in its modern development odyssey. You are a super patriot and your
stature is beyond any particular party. Do continue the national mission you
have undertaken. Indian history of the 20th century will not be complete without
an excellent reference to the majestic contribution you have made in the field
of Indian Energy Unlimited.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
V.R. KRISHNA IYER

The other person whom Modi was keeping his
relation was the Cho-Ramaswami of Tamil Nadu as well as the Chief Minister J Jayalaliltha. The great
writer of Tamil Nadu , Mr. Ramaswami , the editor of magazine Tuglak, invited
Modi a couple of times to Chennai to show how well he can communicate with the
Tamil Nadu people.
-Modi said Tamil Nadu and Gujarat share many things in common. They have many links from ancient days.
-Modi said people of Tamil Nadu loves coffee and he too likes a coffee, but a material to make perfect coffee comes from Gujarat.
-Modi also mentioned that ground nut oil comes from Gujarat. He also said that Tamil women loves cotton sarees and cotton comes from Gujarat.
-Modi described how the people of Saurasthra have become Tamilian.
-Modi said in his own constituency of Maninagar there are more than 20,000 Tamils. Modi said by inviting him, Cho has made ties between Tamil Nadu and Gujarat more stronger.

Strength 3 – Ever growing aspiration for new
methods including the latest technology.
One of the biggest success of
Modi is to use the Technology to leverage the development process and to
communicate people. He had clearly indicated many times that the current technological
world should used in India for further progresses.
In August 2012, Modi used the Google hangout to
communicate with the people all over the world.
It was unique, first ever Hangout by a public leader with an
international audience. President Obama and PM Gilliard Hangouts were held for
residents of their respective countries. This program was witnessed by people
from 116 countries all across the world, which numbered more than 40 lakh..!!
Strength 4 - A mesmerizing support from the
people of his own constituency.
In fact the best support he
enjoys is from his own people of his constituency, Maninagar. In the last election held in December 2012, Mr.
Modi secured approx 1,20,000 votes out
of 1, 56,000, which means he snatched the support of 78% in his favor..!!!!.

Several times Modi narrated that he will be CM always, because for him , CM does not mean Chief Minister, but just Common Man. Yes true, only he can represent a whopping majority of nearly 80% of his hometown, to become the leader of those Common Men.
