The uniqueness in Sri Modi’s victory
(Dr T.H.Chowdary)*
That the BJP has by itself got the majority of the Lok Sabha seats ( 282) and together with its allies 336 is in itself a significant development, putting an end to creaky coalition ministries . People were fed up with the corruption and non-governance of the 10-year long UPA government .
2. One type anger found expressed in Anna Hajare’s movement against corruption especially in his demand for his version of the Lok Pal Bill. Had Anna Hajare campaigned for the BJP, critics would have said the BJP and Modi won because of Anna Hajare’s movement.
3. People’s anger found another expression in the emergence of the Aam Aadmi party (AAP) . If the BJP had an alliance with the AAP , critics would have said that Modi-led victory was due to Kejriwal and his AAP.
4. If Nitish Kumar of the JDU of Bihar did not break with the BJP , critics would have said the BJP‘s victory was in a great measure due to the alliance with Nitish’s JDU especially in Bihar.
5. As it happened, neither Anna Hajare nor Kejriwal nor Nitish Kumar was associated with the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls 2014. On the contrary the latter two that is Kejriwal and Nitish Kumar viciously campaigned against the BJP especially targeting Sri Narendra Modi. It is inspite of these three persons and their flocks that the BJP won under the leadership of Sri Narendra Bhai Modi. It is also the BJP’s Stalwarts the famed L K Advani and the scientist politician Dr. Murali Manohar Joshi were not involved in the campaigns of the BJP all over India. That Modi and the BJP secured such an impressive victor and reduced Sonia Congress to a mere 44 and the loquacious communist parties to a mere 9 is evidence of impact that Sri Narendra Modi made on the people of India . It is significant that people has seen through the secularism of the non-BJP parties as anti-Hinduism and therefore in states like UP where the secular parties were whipped up the minority card , 36 minority candidates put up by these secular parties were all defeated. Making one, to think that there was reverse polarisation against the minroityist secularism.
6. The conclusion can be no other than that the victory of the BJP was the work of Sri Narendra Modi. That gives him moral authority and independence to steer the BJP and the government to a new economic education and culture policies building upon the great knowledge and heritage of Bharat in these sectors over the millennia. We now have a full blooded Bharatiya as a Prime Minister . Bharatiyata started asserting first through Sri P V.Narasimha Rao who buried the Nehruvian socialism and initiated the look east policy. He had to labour under great restrictions because of the Dynasty’s sulk and the conspiracies to destabilise his government by men like Arjun Singh. The next Bharatiya Prime Minister Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee had no more than 190 BJP MPs with him . He had to have over 20 parties as his coalition partners in order to have a majority in the Lok Sabha. He very dexterously managed the coalition . He could not inject sufficient Bharatiyata into governance and policies . Now there is an opportunity for Sri Narendhra Bhai Modi to implement the full blooded Bharatiya policies in every sector and put Bharat on the way to prosperity, power, scholarship (scientific , industrial, economic) and ethical ( education, culture and gurutva ) to become Jagatguru once again. The Artha Sastra of Chanakya, the Ramayana and Mahabharata of Valmiki and Vyasa shall be the sources of wisdom and action. (613 words)
