The disillusionment with Modi sarkar even among its staunchest supporters is out in the open.
Modi and Shah are anything but stoopid. Regardless of how many armchair critics may think so. I have to wonder what their gameplan is. Time is fast running out to turn the tables around before 2019.
Let's hope the lower socioeconomic strata that Modi so assidiously courted in the last 3 yrs, crowding out everything else (well, certainly the Indic agenda) will stand by him in 2019. But those folks have been fickle in the past and may well be swayed by false promises the UPA never intends to keep once again in 2019, who knows?
I'm calling for NM to abandon 'fiscal responsibility' in the election year and ease up on MSP, farm loan waivers, DCT, freebies, populism - whatever it takes to get the poor to vote him in again. But, what are the odds of that, eh?
I, for one, will continue to remain a bhakth.
The last time that the BJP came to power, the golden opportunity was cruelly pissed upon and callously squandered away by urdu poetry recitals and bus rides and in the faithful servitude of the congi first family including extricating its heir apparent from a very long incarceration in a US prison. He would have spent most of his time there either face down or on his knees.
congi moles like brajesh mishra ran rampant and so its no wonder that the baboo(n)s are content with playing the waiting game and constantly nudging the govt into taking absurd positions and shortsighted policy decisions that are disastrous in the eyes of the common man. The judiciary is out of control, they are more concerned with cricket, getting themselves lucrative and absurdly high paying jobs in the BCCI, wasting time and treasure on non productive issues like who should be allowed to suck off whom in the privacy of the bedroom.
The aam aadmi has weathered the note ban, the ridiculous aadhar fiasco, the ever tightening death grip of the state over the common man using aadhar as a coercive instrument of state policy under the guise of equitable distribution of public services, a thoroughly effed up GST system that is slowly being corrected now, yada yada.
It could have garnered much more public adulation and rock solid support if it had instead or in addition simply filled potholes on the roads, cleaned streets, publicly thrashed rapists and then imprisoned them after a fast track trial, had beat cops patrolling very visibly on the roads at night, improved banking services, tackled low level corruption in govt offices and stopped the rapacious PSU buggers from levying heavy fines for routine transactions under the guise of service charges, giving ridiculously low interest rates for deposits while still maintaining an artificially high lending rate to line their own pockets.
If they had tried, convicted and jailed all the known scamsters and in full public glare of prime time TV led these misbegotten sobs in chains to the most miserable of prisons instead of getting involved in dalit controversies, hobnobbing with the very presstitutes who love to spit on Hindu faces, stopped these ridiculous medical visas to the very people who are killing our soldiers everyday, followed through on jailing the hurriyat leaders, sorting out cesspools like JNU by "streamlining" funds, built the fence on the beedi border with speed and commitment, stopped the smuggling of cattle across the beedi border, a process that was streamlined by lallu prasad and his commie pals, Such actions would have enthused the public and the aam aadmi.
Instead, we see a bad press on a daily basis, inept BJP spokies on TV when much more articulate, credible and willing BJP party folks are wantonly sidelined by internecine warfare among piddly local power centres.
Big guns like SSwamy are not supported whereas vote losing jetli is seen pontificating on every topic under the sun.
Something stinks real bad.
But, I am still hoping for a miracle in 2019.
