MYTH AND REALITY ABOUT NARENDRA MODI;
BEING PROJECTED AS THE ONLY INDIAN PERFECT PAR EXCELLENCE HAVING 'PANACEA REMEDY' !
Amidst the media frenzy and hi-pitched campaigns that are being run to convince the voters about the suitability of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as the next prime minister of India, the alternatives have been reduced into a Hobson’s choice, at least in the mainstream media. The same campaign is trying to create an impression about Mr. Modi as the vanguard of development politics and inclusive growth among the electorates. A cock and bull story is being told and re-told about Gujarat and Mr. Modi which reminds me of something from the Second World War propaganda texts. It goes like this, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it”.
Narendra Modi has built a personality cult around him and used every trick in the book to mesmerize people like the pied piper of Hamlin. The Supreme Court on two different occasions shared its annoyance and observations on the riot cases that it had been hearing. I will be sharing here two such observations. Lambasting the Gujarat government for its laxity in bringing the guilty to book, the apex court said, “The modern day Nero’s were looking elsewhere when Best Bakery and innocent children and helpless women were burning, and were probably deliberating how the perpetrators of the crime can be protected[1]." This was in April 2004. A full two years after the riots took place. The riots helped Mr. Modi polarise the electorate of the state and consolidate his position further in the state politics. A year before that the apex court observed that, “The Supreme Court's pronouncements last Friday – including its unsparing admonishment of Narendra Modi, its description of his government’s appeal as an “eyewash”, and its declaration that “we have no faith in Gujarat’s prosecution or government” is enough to give a glimpse of what this Man called Narendra Modi has to offer to the people of this country.
