Early days of "NAMO INDIA"
Unexpectedly,
the quite expected revolutionary changes didn't happen after the last Lok Sabha
elections. Huge majority of Narendra Modi in the assembly and his hypocritical
nature allowed him to make sure that no basic changes were made to the policies
of last UPA government, actually deceiving the crores of voters. It is like two
sides of a coin; two faces but made of the same metal. But, coming to Kerala,
there are huge improvements and expectations for the local BJP leaders. Most of
them, except a few like VS Sreedharan Pillai or V Surendran hadn't had seen the
beauty of a media room never before. Now they are called upon for each and every
issue and they are enjoying it as much as possible. Even in the national level,
they got someone like Amith Shah, one who is accused as the conspirator of
Gujarat riots, as their Supreme Head. In this context, VHP's decision to
back out from the agitations for Ram Mandir construction in the name of their
silver jubilee celebration can also be seen as ironical.
Sad to say that the Indian National
Congress and Mallikarjun Kharge deserved an opposition leader title. It's not
about the percentage of seats or the discretion of a speaker but it's the
matter of right spirit, a government should have to follow. This decision and
the motion to literally harass the congress appointed governors and thereby
indirectly forcing them to resign is not a right model to have shown by a
Modi government. Quoting Vakkam Purushothaman, "It's not the case of this
government alone. Every elected government should try to give due respect to
the governors and consult or inform them before a transfer at least". However
Modi and company are properly utilizing the split in the opposition. It's
always a trend that some local parties will always stand with the ruling party
irrespective of their proclaimed philosophy. Rahul Gandhi's words about the
mood inside the parliament really express the attitude of the ruling party
towards a 44 member Congress opposition. But, he being a future leader, had to
thrive in these hard conditions and he can follow someone like Jyothiradithya Sindhya
or P Rajeev of CPI(M) to actually learn how to be a powerful voice for an
opposition inside the parliament.
When it comes to the matter of ruling,
Narendra Modi never had shown his lack of experience on an international basis.
He was successful in giving an answer to his critics who were cynical about his
throne and said "Gujarat and India as a whole is very different. Inviting
the leaders of neighboring countries for his oath taking ceremony was
considered as a huge diplomatic success. But the gimmick he had shown
throughout his journey to Bhutan and Nepal, actually doesn't give any real
meaning. There was news that he even had a Nepali as an adopted son and had actually
conversed with the common public there in Bhutan and Nepal. A different sort of
diplomacy, in fact is sarcastic. Only time can address the decision to build
IIT and AIIMS in every single state as a brave decision. Chances are higher
that it will result in the degradation of that brand as availing the same
quality of faculty and other facilities throughout the country is not at all
possible. Hopefully, the young India will be grateful to Modi for putting an
end to the routine of attestation for every official procedure. Go to hell, Mr
and Mrs.Gazetted officers...
Nevertheless, the Union finance budget and
railway budget was a continuation of the past. Narendra Modi's strong
determination or will power wasn't that much evident in the budgets. Corporate
friendly budgets addressing the needs of “haves” and which are capable of
attracting the foreign investment were the trend for past few years. He never
made any change to that but I personally feel that India is ruled by a good set
of ministers. Smt.Sushma Swaraj of External Affairs, Dr.HarshVardhan of Health
and Ms.Smriti Irani of Human Resource Development, disregarding the issue of her
educational qualifications had already proved their mettle. At last Indians have a strong and able leader in Modi and a powerful ministry to support him.But it's
interesting to see that most BJP leaders now understands that being in a ruling
side, everyone should have to behave like a Manmohan Singh on a given context. For
instance, the government's stand in the case of Israel-Palestine feud and the
evaluation of English comprehension skills in the CSAT exam was a responsible
one. However, the strength of a good majority in the assembly is evident in the
pride and cunning nature of the government as even Pranab Mukherjee is ought to
behave like a puppet just to put signatures on Namo Orders!
