For Dravidian parties in Tamil Nadu BJP is foreigner and untouchable – Know why and know how

Several regional parties in Tamil Nadu are jittery over the growing popularity and possible acceptance of BJP by people of Tamil Nadu. Even some national parties appeared to have agreed to kneel down before the regional parties just to prevent the entry of BJP in TN. Unfortunately some national parties more than trying to create political relevance for own party and social connect with people, preventing the entry of BJP in TN is their utmost goal. Sadly such party has already lost its national relevance and significance but still engage in self destruction just to stop the entry of BJP in Tamil Nadu.

The fundamental question is why most of the regional parties in Tamil Nadu are jittery of BJP?

Once upon a time (not so long ago) the DMK, AIADMK, DMDK, MDMK, PMK etc., had aligned with BJP and contested election. Both the DMK and AIADMK had benefited as well from such an alliance in the past. But why they are scared of joining hands with BJP these days? The reason is quite simple. BJP has changed its political narratives and operating principle.

The sole agenda of BJP are performance, corruption free governance, transparency, accountability, zero tolerance towards nepotism, against minority appeasement & favouritism etc. When Modiji demand accountability from government officials, he also subjects himself to the same rule. Today people are running after Modiji mainly because of his vision, intention, untiring commitment and passion to develop India and ensure total development happens to every Indian.

When a political party rests its policy in development, performance and anti corruption, naturally such party remains deathless. That is how BJP and Modiji are wining the hearts and minds of people election after election. But for those political parties whose DNA and core values that rests in corruption, misuse of power, nepotism, caste politics, minority appeasement and maladministration, naturally the language of BJP and Modiji would certainly appear Greek and Latin. Therefore they see BJP and Modiji more are foreigner and foreign force than Indian.

When Modiji pulls the rug of corruption from under the feet of many money launderers, black money holders, tax evaders, many political parties also might have suddenly realized the truth that they were also standing on the same rug, although they were fighting with each other without knowing the ground truth that Modiji is hitting their DNA.

Demonetization has affected all those looters irrespective of their political affiliations. May be, they are scared and fear that if BJP is allowed to grow in Tamil Nadu, it might cleanse the system and naturally the most toxic and hazardous substances that get removed first from Tamil Nadu would be these parties.

Even the school going students who are the likely first time voters in Tamil Nadu in the next parliamentary election are very hopeful of Modiji and his walk the talk practice. They are extremely happy with Modiji and want to vote Modiji to develop the state from the Drawidian rule.

By invoking regionalism and language patriotism, most of the political parties have turned the state as cradle of corruption. To a large extent, these parties could succeed in misguiding the youth to hate Hindi and could successfully portray rest of India, especially north India is against Tamil Nadu. But the present generation, particularly the youths are very intelligent and have already woken up and certainly they are not going to listens the same old cock and bull story.

If Tamil Nadu has to develop and people want new Tamil Nadu, the Drawidian parties must be kept out of power. It is not just keeping the Drawidian parties out of power is enough, but the system has to be cleansed. It is not just cleansing the present system is sufficient but also the state must be developed though clear workable strategy, vision accountability and transparency. Most people in Tamil Nadu, especially the youths believe that BJP and Modiji alone can develop the state.

Predominantly the youths believe in Modiji because the present day youths are the real victims of Drawidian brand politics. Drawidian rule has rotten the educational system by converting the education into a business enterprise of politicians, land grabbing to engage in real estate business, illegal sand mining etc.

Today most of the Government departments in Tamil Nadu are dipped in corruption, multiple paralysis and non performance. People are sick and tired of Drawidian rule.

The soil is very fertile in Tamil Nadu for BJP to grow and fruit. People are longing for a change and are ready to accept Modiji. Although an organized resistance may be displayed by many political parties in Tamil Nadu purely due to their loss of identity and opportunity to loot and fool people, but BJP can easily overturn such resistance because youths of Tamil Nadu are with BJP.

BJP may not have a great leader in Tamil Nadu to project. But all they need is a leader with impeccable integrity and commitment. Once such leader is projected even if the person may have low profile, still people would accept such leader because such corruption free leader is difficult to find in most of the political parties in Tamil Nadu.
