Modiji’s promise

Narendra Modi had promised the citizens of India that he would bring down corruption within 100 days of his coming to power. He had also promised the people that he would be bringing back black money from Swiss banks that have been invested by some corrupt politicians. A year has passed, but our Prime Minister has still not kept his promise. People have got carried away by his sweet talks. The promises made by Narendra Modi at the time of elections seem to be completely forgotten. Why did he make such tall promises when he knew he couldn’t fulfill them? The common man has lost faith in the BJP government.

Ever since the NDA government has taken over our country, Christians are being targeted and nuns are being molested. The government should be aware that today they are ruling the country is just because of the minority communities (Christians and Muslims) who willingly supported them.

Just because we Christians are peace-loving people and do not retaliate, it does not mean that the government can take an upper hand of us. Churches are being burnt and desecrated. And the police are not taking any action with those involved in these dastardly acts. We did a mistake by voting for Narendra Modi. The Congress was a better government indeed.

Christians are being defamed in the name of ‘Ghar Wapsi’ (Home Coming) and Muslims in the name of ‘Love Jihaad’. This was the reason why Indian’s National Flower, the lotus was cleaned by the broom by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the national capital a few months back. It is high time that the BJP thought about the minority communities (Christians, Muslims, Sikhs and Parsees) or they will be swept away from the country soon.
