Apprentice in Indian politics cannot demonetize the greatness of Modiji

People all over the world would like and follow only the leader who is true, wise and strong in his commitment to develop the state and govern the country free from corruption and nepotism. Modiji is one such great leader India can always be proud of.

On the contrary to the preference of Modiji by a majority of people in India, the political class in the country that opposes Modiji show an innate liking towards another leader who is weak, unwise & immature and an under-learner and likes to make such apprentice politician as their mascot. Interestingly the under-learner has got the position in the party as a mere gift due to the dynastic law of the party and it appears to remain as trainee forever. The amorphous leadership quality of the trainee has indeed attracted the support of the opposition parties because the dynast apprentice politician will always remain as a caged parrot to all those clever politicians.

If we consider the present Indian political system, strong leaders are less liked by the political parties but the people at large in all likelihood would like only such strong, decisive leader and not the leader who has emerged purely out of the privilege of dynasty and not on merit. The co-habitat-ant political system likes only such nestling leader and not the strong leader - Modiji mostly due to own selfish reasons.

Modiji represents the first class of leader who is decisive, assertive, clean, visionary and strong whereas the so-called leaders from various opposition parties come under the category of the second class of leaders who are less of a leader and more of scamsters or hate sellers. The question is why the contrast exists among the political class where millions of people follow Modiji? Such paradox is largely due to the fear that Modiji will not allow these scamsters to loot the country whereas by rallying around the dynast - the birthplace of all scams, the scamsters can continue their business without any trouble.

Leaders of most of the opposition parties aspire to be like Modiji but lack merit, character, quality, and integrity. When they see a leader of a such caliber like Modiji they get sandwiched between jealous and self-pity. The hybrid emotion of self-pity and jealousy make them prank and panic. They find some pleasure in opposing such great leader – Modiji. Unfortunately, they are yet to understand the truth that as long as they play such dirty and cheap politics they will get alienated and never will be seen equal to the stature of Modiji.

Accepting the stature of Modiji and his greatness will only elevate their dignity and respect. Even when they oppose they must accept the truth that Modiji is indeed great and has the mass following not only in India but across the world.

Aspire to become like Modiji is not wrong. But the method they chose is only wrong. When someone aspires to become great like Modiji and at the same time show willingness to work under an obviously inferior person/apprentice leader is not going to help them. So all those opposition leaders must abandon their idea to get incubated under the dynast to strengthen the dynasty and instead, they must form a separate alliance amongst themselves. Once they form an own alliance, even if their political fortune may be less due to the triangular contest, but their respect in Indian politics in long run would increase several folds.

Fight Modiji in the true sense but never adopt a weaker leader as your commander-in-chief to fight Modiji. Respect Modiji in public and then fight based on true issues.

People of India at large want Modiji to continue as Prime Minister for another 10 years purely because of his outstanding statesmanship and vision. No Prime Minister in the contemporary Indian politics has displayed such vision and commitment to developing NEW INDIA. No leader in the contemporary period has fought corruption so fearlessly like Modiji. He stood more for the country than for his party.

Minority appeasement politics, creating confusion among people by over-hyping some sporadic incidences as an indicator of communal disharmony etc., are not going to work. People are sick and tired of all such nonsense. The opposition must bring new ideas in their agenda and not oppose the good policies and initiatives of Modiji.

Never rally under an apprentice that would never help the opposition any longer.
