Let us not push India to hungry lions again, support Modiji for New India

The comment about Indian economy by Yeshwant Sinha, a BJP member got more takers from opposition parties than from BJP. This exposes the ground truth that even to breathe and survive for several insignificant politicians in Indian politics whether it is from BJP or from other parties, they need Modiji. Oppose Modiji and galvanize some limelight in prime time news is the ploy most of the insignificant politicians are adopting. Certainly, some level of economic instability is causing worry. Let us understand the political and leadership acumen of Modiji before we adventure to blame him. Modiji has ensured the welfare of all downtrodden people by ensuring all welfare schemes reaches them directly as most of them have bank accounts thanks to Modiji, has ensured free cooking gas connections to poor people, mission of electrification of every village and every house is on etc. It means Modiji has done what is needed at ground zero level.

India needs disruptive/interventional politics and politics to wake up our corrupt system to reality. The irony is that several opposition politicians compete to roost under the new avatar of Yeshwant Sinha and it shows they do not have anything to oppose Modiji.

Who knows the opposition parties may even project Yeshvant Sinha as their Prime Ministerial candidate because they are desperately searching in the market for a credible face to represent them in 2019 election. Perhaps they would have fully convinced that they do not have any credible leader in their own party and at best they have a tall leader like Lalu to guide and get guided.

For all those corrupt leaders and political parties, Modiji is totally new, different, unique so they find it hard to digest because Modiji is the major roadblock for their scam centric, appeasement and dynastic politics.

All those experts who talk about an economic slowdown are not talking anything about how the inflation is under control. Ever since Modiji has occupied the office of Prime Minister of India, the seasonal fluctuation of onion price was contained very well. No expert economist is willing to talk about how the big-ticket scams and corruption in the previous Government has corroded our development and growth but instead they target Modiji just to bring their irrelevant existence in Indian politics to somewhat relevant.

If the Government minimize its expenditure on certain white elephants like spending on research activities in Indian Traditional healing practices and other departments and provide Income tax relief to taxpayers and service providers the economy can be easily brought back.

The economic slowdown that we experience today is more due to the inadequate knowledge of small traders in complying with GST as the process of filing GST is quite painful for all those unorganized business class and traders. The preparedness was inadequate on the side of the Government before implementing GST. If the GST filing is made quarterly, it would significantly benefit the small traders.

Everyone who really aspires for New India and wants corruption-free administration and reforms centric governance must educate their respective constituency however small or big it may be not to fall into the diversion tactics of opposition parties.

Modiji has starved most of the corrupt politicians almost to death by crushing all their opportunity to engage in scams and corruption. So if people allow them to come back, it would prove an irreparable disaster to our country. The situation shall be like pushing a person inside the enclosure of several starving lions. It is the time for all to show resilience and offer unconditional support to Modiji so that India is soon made into the superpower.

The present slowdown of the economy is very much in line with expectation. This slowdown is certainly due to the critical, life-saving surgery Modiji has done to minimise corruption and maximise tax compliance. Fruits of the initiatives will take some more time to percolate down but let us not allow the scamsters to loot the fruits of all path-breaking initiatives of Modiji by providing a chance to them.

Today almost all politicians survive in Indian politics because of Modiji. The only difference is that they oppose him without any logic and merit. The pity is not about their opposition but how idealess they are.

Choose your leader today and never wait for 2019.
