Selective Pages from Diary 2014- Parliament Election 2014.

 Parliament Election 2014.

Half the process is over.

While BJP was able to create atmosphere of non -performance and corruption against congress and create  a wave in favor of Modi ( by masking communal face/issue). Now non-BJP and Congress are lately trying ( successfully or otherwise) to move election as secular v/s Communal fight.( Majority Rule)

They may be right in doing so. As even staunch supporters of Modi , accepts there is danger of  authoritarian ( Hitler) element coming to power. Victory of BJP is likely to be celebrated like India belongs to Hindu.

But they  ( like Arun Shouri)  say modi should be preferred based on performance and not to be opposed based on prejudice. Modi may be Hitler, but India is not Germany and can ( and have dealt in past- Indira Gandhi in 1977) deal with such persons and situations.

Arun Shouri also  rightly say Indian psyche prefers  strong leaders against democratic leaders. That is why Indira Gandhi is preferred over Manamohan Singh inspite of damages caused by first and progress achieved under second.

Modi may be modified Modi and may like to take India on path of progress but the persons  and institutions( like RSS) who are advocating Modi and making all out efforts to make him successful ( first time after 1977), may force him to take other course.

Tragedy is that parties who are opposing BJP/ Modi on basis of communal-ism has lost credibility (congress) and voter may not  listen their caution.

Where are we heading, Giriraj ( in Bihar) says those who are opposing Modi can ( and will have to) go to Pakistan, and Azam Khan is opposing EC because he feels this posture benefits him.

If all this is not election rheoertic   ( and is real feeling) we are heading toward situation like 1930-40 which resulted in partition of India.

What is hope , as Arun Shouri says ( I hope), Indian institutions like SC, Military and lastly people can deal with and will overcome it. But that is when if Modi comes to power. Before that, is there any hope from voter to avoid such situation ?

My hope is based  on Muslims, Dalit and Dravidan population who are outside RSS influence. Regional parties are also  give hopes, who would like to stop Modi ( Pre Election/Post Election) to save their fiefdom. AAP can also do magic , with voter who are sick of secular/communal  discourse and likely to vote for anti corruption.

Now it is less than 4 weeks , where Indian polity will unfold new chapter. 

I pray   this should be peaceful.

In the hind sight it is felt that many of the observation made were correct, people sick of coalition politics and weak congress leadership gave  BJP  and   Modi a absolute majority.

As apprehended communal issues are being raised but fortunately Modi has kept controll over them and focusing on Developmental issues ( at least publically)
