Narendra Modi’s remark about the so-called cow protectors is the right reaction to caste violence in Gujarat. But the reaction of RSS as reported by Asian Voice (Aug 6th issue) is very regrettable. Lashing out against their leader, beating innocent people, does not protect any cow. Now carcasses of hundreds of rotting animals lying around would show an awful sight and likely to be health hazard to the public.
Mr Modi, as Chief Minister, had achieved economic success and social stability taking Gujarat from a very low position to the top position among all Indian states. As Prime Minister of India he has achieved a similar success. It has been possible because of new vision, original ideas and hard work to achieve such a goal. Sri Atal Behari Vajpayee was an excellent Prime Minister and liked by almost all sections of Indian society. Yet he lost the 2004 election after only six years in office. If BJP and RSS don’t modernise their attitude they are likely to cause downfall of Modi in 2019 general election. Both BJP and RSS must learn lessons from history, advance with time and work for the good of all Indians.
