Republic Of Modi

Latest poll predictions indicate a sweep by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by BJP. If it is to be believed then the alliance should get some 272+ seats with BJP itself garnering 225+. Impressive.

I think the nation is no mood for a re-poll and given the choice between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea and possibly Fire and Brimstone; the nation may as well jump in the sea with Modi where it sees a glimmer of hope for survival. My own view is that a Strong Modi in governance needs a strong Kejriwal in opposition to keep the BJP in check. Take out Modi from the equation and I would cross out BJP as a party to be considered in the first place. The corruption level in BJP is possibly even higher than that in Congress. I once heard an explanation for that as well. Congress guys have had decades to make money and other governments don't know how long they will survive so make hay while the sun shines.

What we need now is to see India shining again. Prosperity comes from economic growth not escalation in real estate and food prices. Laws have to become rational not incentives to encourage corruption. Public servants must do the work they are paid for as salary not bribes. Education must be actual not just dispensed on paper.

The Country is expecting an overnight miracle and that is my fear. Too much is expected in too little a time; and this is so dangerous now that the people have lost their patience. There are many who say that Modi is not what he say he is. But then if you handle snakes the charmer has to immunize himself with the same venom and to an extent behave like a snake himself.

I wish Rahul along with Priyanka and his bright young brigade split off from the Congress and start a party of their own; distancing themselves from Sonia. Probably even join Kejriwal's AAP which could do with a better dose of political education. The combination could probably create a very strong opposition sufficient to create the right balance of ying and yang for India.

Well India may not become RAMraj but we are near sure of seeing a ROMraj called Republic of Modi.
