Will Modi get one more term ? if India had been a
matured democracy,with sufficient economic literacy and political maturity ,it
is easy to answer and say :he will be shown the door .But under the confused and
media orchestrated and corporate engineered hype , and also the opposition not
fielding a common candidate ,the chances are that the advantage is with the
gentleman who now calls himself as the first chowkidar,exploiting all kinds of mean
mentality and now he is equating that term with patriotism.How can a PM who had enjoyed the power for 5 years and lived on pure lies ,can again and again resort to cheap political stunt without being conscious that he has become a laughing stock !
Can a chowkidar seen in the company of bad ,say sharing
dais with the corrupt gentleman who had gone to prison and also striking
alliance with the corrupt elements to the core ,to exploit the political vacuum
left by a lady who herself was also an
embodiment of mega corruption ,but ruled
like a lioness and could become
CM despite going to jail be considered
as the crusader of corruption and champion of development ?The democracy in
India has gone too bad like a rotten egg which is also in demand just because
there is no alternative to eat.
Having done more mischief and wounded the finer
sensibilities of many, especially the ordinary people he has thrown some doles –the official
currency corruption on the eve of election ?He is the same person,who ,ignored
the farmers’’ plight, virtually killed the economy by note ban and hastily
implemented,this chowkidar has suddenly remembered election time; he seeks
blessings to continue his task of propagating hate politics ,the divisive and
destructive politics ,saffronising everything under the sun forgetting that India
is a vastly diverse and inherently a complex country and can never be allowed to be
shaped in the images of chowkidars
namely the distorted Hindutuva
India. As the last three assembly elections had thrown open some surprise if
key states retaliate with reasoned and well balanced mindset their arrogance
will be humbled .
Virtually there is nothing substantial to show as
achievements .That is why this rhetoric of chowkidar and Nehru bashing and
Raghul teasing .Last time the Hindi heart land showered boon and the alliance arithmetic
also helped .with the divided opposition, congress almost reduced to a regional
party in select states, but not willing to acknowledge it and a few treating it as unwanted luggage ,
BJP in power has an advantage , but
there are many ifs and buts and pendulum can change any way when the D date
nears; it will be one of the violent elections
ever fought.
Will chaos theory be at work ?
The only hope for those who do not want to
give a second innings lies in the butterfly effect of demonetization ; will
people remember at the time of voting ?True ,among the success lists he does
not want to make any reference to demo
but they will justify it by statistics and a series of lies .When Economic
survey and budgetary document were bristling with distorted facts can’t the
event mangers invent a different
story .
In the wake of demonetization in key state assembly elections , he could
easily win and the suffering caused to the people did not stand in the way from
winning the elections , but close on the
heels of RBI revelation that 99.3 % of demonetized notes returned to bank
and the deepening employment crisis must
act as entry barriers for the second term .To what extent the drastic measure of Demonetization which we prefer to call as political
thunderbolt will impact 2019 election
is a moot point ; it may or may not be
an election issue .I am not sure to what extent the affected people remember and recollect
the loss of life and job ,
decline in growth and income under the
combined onslaught of both demo and GST
which virtually choked the aggregate
demand , and pushed the economy into a tailspin of recession.?
Will the
affected ones remember and recollect
the loss of life and job ,
decline in growth and income .And whether
the collective memory convert
itself into votes,against Modi,
there is no guarantee. I must hasten to add
that Post- demonetization,
election in five assemblies did
not reveal any backlash to this populist measure which actually caused real suffering to the informal economy
and poor .? How will the poor dalit and middle class behave?will the trading
and business community which was most
hit by the twin onslaught of demo and GST switch their loyalty and help the congress or a variant of Third
front ?what is happening to core vote
bank of BJP vote now ? what about the majority of the poor who were
economically disabled and the
religious minorities ?
--on the other hand if there is a mass hysteria like
post emergency kind of feeling and opposition combine , the common
man will be politically enabled to
dethrone the Rama or Asoka kind of ruler –the
56’’ chest tall leader who has thrived well on lies and more lies .will
they work now ? I am not a an expert and astrologer and predicting the outcome
of election is as difficult as judging a cricket match; till last ball is
bowled one cannot say .In any case The PM has luck and many educated still believe him.That is the worst part of the narrative on the arrogant Paradoxical prime minister
