While PM Modiji’s London visit was triumph beyond comprehension, putting British Indian community in seventh heaven, my joy was tinged with heart-rending disappointment due to Bihar fiasco against hotchpotch alliance, following Delhi debacle.
This should ring alarm bells in BJP camp if this government does not want to go down in history as One Term Wonder, throwing away Modiji’s wonderful bridge-building overseas with inward investment of billions of dollars, securing supply of nuclear fuels and exchange of technology in space exploration, agriculture and security to stay one step ahead of terrorists. The massacre of civilians in Paris should convince, open eyes of doubters who live in bliss of ignorance! Gujarat elections in 2017 will be real test, as losing Gujarat is unthinkable.
It seems even 100 million membership could not guarantee victory, as Indian voters are volatile. As low turnout among Hindus harms BJP most, it is time to make voting compulsory to make India truly democratic rather than winning by default.
Perhaps Modiji should spent more time at home taking on pseudo secularist, appoint someone like lustre, popular Shruti Irani who oozes confidence, as Minister for Minority, concentrating, mingling full-time with voters and invest in media, as murder of beef truck driver makes headlines for days while rape, murder and kidnapping of Hindu girls in West Bengal totally ignored. BJP losing next election will be unmitigated disaster for India and the world.
