why Modi is gaining popularity and some clue for his future days..

The genuine reasons for Modi's popularity are handful and more importantly timely. Here are few from my analysis:
1. Modi (NaMo) has timed himself better- I think the best part is he has a very good team working behind the scene but deserves maximum credit, may it be Gujrat IAS officers to the PR team he has hired. Though Advani tried similar luck many times in the past by projecting himself an iron man as well as soft man (by Pakistan centric statement, Ayodhya was a mistake etc.) but didnt manage to time it right. When the opportunity knocked the door, it was Modi's call. This is for sure that Advani could not make so much fanfare, what Namo has been upto, lately. Bottomline: Younger is always better (probably Rahul baba is too young and has a supporting mom to take all discredits to her own and still promoting him in the Congress party heirarchy despite different state poll debacles).

2. He talks common language, which many common people understand and more importantly he speaks what majority of Indians are interested in listening. If you observe closely, he is many a times talking bullshit but the TRP of media house runs solely on viewership and unless you are a controversy child, you dont sell and that is particularly something he is harping on, albeit cautiously (thanks to his PR team, telling him what (not) to do) and intelligently (he is certainly smart himself). And see the achievements- he openly challenges EC for the FIR, even congress uninstalled the snoopgate investigation altogether! bottomline- he is n times lucky like Glenn Maxwell is, in IPL 2014.

3. He takes on social media nicely and thankfully it has so far worked to his advantage, unlike the goof-ups of Rahul Gandhi (RG) during Arnab's interview in Times now. RG must have sacked his team following that interview, since they did a terrible job in training him. Of course, it is another story that he doesnt learn many things automatically and quickly, coz he probably needs a or two corporate lessons and should be able to use media to his advantage. He cant cash on the right set of questions to propagate his own thoughts. Thats why, he failed so miserably in Arnab's show, forcing Arnab to ask his own prepared set of questions! Thats like cheating in an exam.

4. Congress again did a very bad job in scrutinising candidates. Afterall its pity that a 60 year old party cant manage 272 candidates like Nandan Nilkeni from a mass of 1 billion, especially having access to everyone's record!! It is afterall understandable when RG is the boss for the recruitment process!! Well, the same philospohy on candidate selection applies for any party, which thinks of losing a seat for a particular constituency.

5. There is no alternative in any form that matches to challenge NaMo, at least in a PM designate level. The so-called third front has people like Amma and Mullu (Mulayam) and even Lalu (when he takes afternoon naps) are talking of themselves as possible PM candidate- a series of laughing stock, which comedy nights' Kapil would not even handpick! I decided not to talk about Kejriwal (AK) coz his achievements so far is just to blame (read expose) others. He deserves to be in CAG not in politics, as you need to deliver, at least that I expect as a voter from an elected representative.

What I dont like about NaMo:
1. A definite agenda for what he would, could do for India for which sector of people, is missing! Rather than mudslinging, he could possibly project himself as a visionary. but again, media sells are in favor of his Tantrums. His promises are all in air, though he has proven promises in a Gujurat model. He thinks inclusively, which is a big plus for him.
2. He talks about Maa-beti all the time. Its time he takes himself higher than all these pettty issues. Should avoid taking questions, which goes against the dignity of a PM-to-be chair, I am sure, there exists tons of better way to deal with these questions. Afterall, they are not as difficult as some of the primetime US journalists.

Few suggestions for NaMo-
Since this is time, the country is seeing Namo, in the name of a future PM, he must devise some guidelines for himself and project on following terms from hereon and may be follow the agenda in his first speech to nation on following lines:

  1. reduce loose talks
  2. Talk about logical, feasible growth model- if possible at least highlight the areas
  3. Carve out the biggest problems India is facing and plan to build new portfolios around that- apart from some stupid ministries present for the namesake- he can take a cue from Amir Khan's Satyameva Jayate program
  4. come down heavily on some holocasts like Medha Patekar, Mallika Sarabhai, Arundhati Roy kind of poster idiots who are born to defame India, that is only job they have in mind
  5. Talk in a way, the educated mass start believing his words beyond a feku vocalist
  6. He must sign off people like Nitin Gadakari, Yeduyarappaa and another corrupt bunch for life from BJP- its better to detach politics from some all time idiots like Lalu, Mulu and Deve Gowda- the current age Kumbhakarna, who was even dreaming of installing some nth front and become a PM in 2014 elections!! (Having said that on this earth, we could still survive Mayavati, Amma, Didi and another bunch of nari netris)!!- every state has one such (or more) model available for free!!
  7. Take a strong, very very strong stand for policies against China, Pakistan and US, even EU- this would also mean a three to quadraple increase in defence spending- I really dont care if it costs that much from Exchequers- I hope that we get some stashed money from European banks- not only Swiss!!
  8. To cleanse the mess five years is certainly a very good time, if BJP gets an absolute majority. Otherwise, its going to be a tough task in the coalition dharma.

Good luck Narendranath Modi

Jai Hind!!

  1. I wud like to add on to the causes for NaMo rise 1)absence of an achiever in BJP's centre cadre.Ppl like SS, AJ are good speakers and even cabinet ministers but have nothing substantial in their bag of credentials as compared to NaMo or even Shivraj for that matter
    2) NaMo has been very clear in his support to industrialization and industrialists, though BJP was always pro-business and pro-industry, it was never so clear and direct earlier. Markets and industrialists were not this enthusiastic about Vajpayee govt.
    Good read !

  2. Many citizen in India and overseas have lot of expectations from NaMo if it happens that he gets those 60 months and sits on the PM's chair!!
    He is a different politician in the current herd of politicians in India so let's hope he stands the test of time and develops India to next level.
    Good article to read, It was like a summary of current situation in India.
    Keep writing buddy!!
