Indians see NEW INDIA through Modiji and not through dynast

Modiji has made a defining moment in Indian politics by stating that he is willing to pay the political price (sacrifice) but would continue the reforms and war against corruption & black money. And will certainly build New India.

Modiji has displayed above public commitment in his speech during the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit (HTLS). No politician on earth would dare to sacrifice their political ambition and power for the nation but Modiji has done it. Modiji is not a politician but a true statesman and his only intention are to reform the country and build New India.

If we look at the contrast, most of the opposition parties have converted their party, mission, and existence more as the family business where the dynast would take over the party from mother or father and become the new king and the saga of scams and nepotism would continue.

Modiji has not stopped his mission of transforming India just with demonetization and GST. He is going to bring rules for Benami transaction and certainly the much-needed reforms in the direct tax system.

Modiji was the first Prime Minister in the contemporary times to recognize and address the real problems of poor people especially the women in villages. He initiated the programme to build toilets in villages under Swacch Bharat mission so that the women would benefit the great and also it would help in preventing several water-borne diseases during the rainy season. Further Modiji also focused to address their problems in the kitchen by providing cooking gas connection to millions of people in villages. To ensure the direct benefit transfer, opened bank accounts to poor people.

All the above reforms and people-centric governance, however loudly the opposition parties ridicule and criticize for own political survival, people of India are not going to heed or value.

India is the land of great thinkers and spiritual gurus and world leaders. After Swami Vivekananda, the world has not yet witnessed any great leader of such stature in India. In the recent times, Modiji has filled the void. The great recognition of India among global countries has come purely because of the initiatives of Modiji who intelligently galvanized strategic support for India and also stood as the tallest leader among global communities.

Youths of India should not allow all the wonderful initiatives of Modiji to go to drain. The political immaturity of the opposition parties in India is quite obvious and in the name of opposing Modiji actually, they are ruining India. Therefore youths must gather their thoughts and must pledge their unconditional support for Modiji to build New India.

The politics played by the opposition parties has reduced their stature and merit to enter into the payroll of the dynast to lead them in the next election. Leaders of most of the regional parties have come to power through their hard work and abilities like Mamata Banerjee, Mayavathi etc., but today most of them seem to have accepted to rally under the dynast who knows nothing about hard work and merit and who has come to the present position as Manishankar Iyer rightly said so, Kings clan must be the king.

Opposing Modiji can be the foremost political philosophy of the opposition parties. But to achieve the above goal, can they afford to reduce their stature to a shrew and join the caroling party to sing songs praising the dynast?

The day is not far away people of India at large are going to define opposing Modiji ruthlessly is equal to opposing the development of India. Already youths are equating Modiji to New India. Time is still there for the political class in India to use their wisdom and intelligence to decide whether they are going to join the dynasty or merit and progress of New India.
