Modi's Rule & his Cult
Murali Murthy
As Modi completed a new "invented" milestone - "Longest elected PM", I waited out for the day to get over, brimming with all gaudy and tall claims, achievements (that never impact you and me).
"Bohot mast bola tune, suna maine, ab? Nachu kya?"
I had my sadistic pleasure seeing all the cult members go all day long "aaah, Modiji, mmm...wah Modiji...yeah".
Not downplaying the work done by Modi, there has been surely progress and infrastructure improvements. So did Nehru, whatever he thought was good for the country he did, whatever Modi thought is good for the country, he is doing! But why so obsessed with Nehru? why is it a competition? If Modi is our PM and we have to respect him, so was Nehru!
Nehru is history, Modi is present, they both are not running for next elections to compare and judge who is better!
History should not be forced, it should not be created..the mindset of this ruler, unfortunately is to do something today, so that future will remember him in the History lessons...what kind of Lust is this!?
Nehru's supporters will amplify his achievements and downplay Modi's, and Modi's supporters will exactly do the same...so there is no right or wrong, it's just convenience based on their perspectives and ideology.
If Nehru's character can be questioned for being a playboy, even Modi's character can be questioned for abandoning his wife.
End of the day, ordinary citizens like me just want peace of mind, as our kitchen doesn't run by worshipping a politician. I have to only pray to the God I worship, to not let this pseudo God to take decisions that will affect my life. We all have come to a stage where we are scared if the PM sits with a mic to announce anything, good or bad.
I believe Modi is still the best bet for India. Because he promised vision, he gave hope, he asked the right questions before coming to power. An apolitical person like me trusted him, voted for him in 2014.
And now, the ordinary citizens continue to ask the same questions, but the Cult members have stopped, that's the difference between 2014 and after.
The biggest problem is not Modi himself, but the manipulations, corrupting done to Modi by the Cult members. Call them Bhakts, Andhbhakts, Clapping boys, Devotees or Cult members, they are shielding, clapping and celebrating all his stupidities, making him believe he is larger than life and non biological being! What sense can you expect from someone who has reached this mental status?
All this hate and naming of Andhbhakts is for a reason. Don't know what their desperation is, to do what they do. They act as if India was still in stone age, and after 2014, every village and city has all of a sudden become Singapore. We all (including them) built our career, our lives, our identity, our religious ideas, our spiritual callings, our definition of India, our love for India in our growing years, which is surely before 2014. All our struggles and life grinds continue to exist, either improved or deteriorated based on how we have dealt with them. What has the Govt or a PM got to do with this?
To give you few examples of why this hatred towards these bunch of jokers has grown over the last decade. I am not joking or exaggerating, these are real excerpts when Andhbhakts were asked about Modi on Live camera: "Even if Petrol costs 200, we will vote for Modi". "So what if Rupee value is all time high or even 100, how does it matter to us, I will still vote for Modi". "Even if we have to eat our Roti with only Salt, we will do it, but we will vote for Modi". "Agar Modi aake mera G@@nd bhi maardhe, tho bhi mein unko hi Vote dunga". "I can't exactly tell you what good things Modi has done, but I know he is great". "Ek gadha bhi aake Modi ke naam pe Vote maange, tho bhi mein usko hi Vote dunga".
Despite all this, Modi is still a good choice for India. Even I was impressed when he came to the limelight in 2012. He came to power by asking the right questions. He set out seeking answers from the then Govt on Price rise, fuel hikes, LPG price, corruption, violence, Rupee valuation, malpractice in elections, education, schemes.
Irony, today when we ask the same questions to the present PM, we become anti-nationals. Forget any sensible response, the cult members jump to violently defend their lordship with the most irrelevant, illogical defense, which usually ends up "Nehru also did the same", acknowledging the fact that Modi is no better than Nehru.
I guess the time has come for both Modi and the cult members to move beyond Nehru. Let them stop comparing Modi with someone in the history, someone dead. Let them compare him with Xi Ping, who is also a dictator. Let's start comparing what each of them do every Year!
All sensible, normal citizens know that a PM cannot invent, manufacture vaccines, launch rocket to moon, build digital payment platforms, build 1000s of KMs of highways, build 90 Airports, fight terrorists, because everything needs expertise, efforts, preparation for decades. Credit must and will surely be given for whatever push/closures he has given, to achieve those milestones.
But when it's projected that he is the sole reason for every good thing that has happened, then why not question him for all the flaws, drama, rhetoric, economic policies, political corruption, institutional autonomy, blind eye towards price rise, clarification on his degrees, clarification on his childhood, fuel hikes, paper leaks, social polarization, all the tall promises, guarantees made, the ever postponing Ache Din?
It is understandable when the Media goes ga ga around Modi and defends every fart he releases, as Govt has spent over 7000 Cr on media coverage (avg 1.5 Cr per day!), they are just repaying in kind. But what's with these Cult members? What do they gain? How long can they be in this intoxicated mode being drugged with Save Hinduism, Hyper nationalism, Pakistan, Muslims?
The biggest success Mantra of Modi is to create an imaginary villain, portray that villain to be the biggest problem ever (which we didn't even know), and pose to be the Hero and the only one to save us from that Villain.
Cult members are brainless, senseless and mindless, who continue to believe in this approach and live in la la land.
Cult members are the real anti nationals, who are corrupting a good PM. Modi should continue in power and continue to rule us for longer time, provided these Cult members are banned. The opposition instead of demanding banning RSS, should demand banning the Andh Bhakts in our society. RSS that way is harmless to the society.
Modi is more than capable of defending himself, no need to surround him with praises and romance. Only this makes him believe he is the emperor and ends up doing some stupid acts, dramas, theatrics, antics and lives for the cameras.
The claims like "he has never taken a day off" is just laughable. Modi is always on campaigning mode, electioneering mode. If he is the PM for everyone, for the entire nation, why does he work for BJP, campaign in elections all days of the year?
He is using our tax money, abusing his power and position, working for BJP, selling BJP's agenda and always on campaigns & roadshows.
Isn't this moonlighting? If any of my Employee so openly works for someone else, being employed by me, I would fire him immediately!
Once upon a time, there was a king, he is not there anymore.
There were questions in the past, now they are not there anymore.
Population was very high in the past, now half population have moved to another nation- "Anti-Nation".
There was once poverty, it's not there anymore.
There were problems in the past, now it's not there anymore.
Cheetahs were there in the past, now they are not around,
J.ben was once there, now she is not.
