After 10 years of UPA Govt. rule India
would be left with a weak economy and still weaker politically. As the economic
growth would be in decline, internal and external security situation would
remain much to be desired. India would need a strong, bold, dynamic and a
shrewd Leader in 2014 to steer the economy towards revival and double digit
growth while securing the country from enemy inside and fortifying the borders
against inimical forces who are constantly looking for an opportunity to strike
at our Nation hood; at the same time designing and executing a forward looking
foreign policy that would add to the Political Clout of India Globally. If some
how India miss
the bus in 2014; then, India
would continue to struggle as a least developed country for the rest of this
century. Naveen Patnaik from east and Narendra Modi in west could be one of
those Leaders who could steer India
in this crucial period of this century. Naveen Patnaik has chosen to concentrate
in the State Politics; though, destiny may or may not be that kind with him (circumstance
could force him to take up leadership at the centre).
Narendra Modi is being sabotaged by his own party men. Where
do we find a strong Leader for India
Narendra Modi has all that and more to Lead India in the
crucial period of this century; as his administrative and developmental
achievement in the State of Gujarat
has impressed the Young India in urban areas; it remains to be seen if he could
rope in young people in rural areas. Indian electorates have mostly responded
late; but, when they did it was very decisive. Needless to mention, Indira
Gandhi was sent packing after emergency and the same electorate brought her
back again after a few years. If electorates would have observed a need for a
strong majority Govt. at the centre to protect and defend the interest of the
country then there could be a wave in favor of BJP and against the UPA as the
Third Front remains a non starter. But, the worst enemy of BJP would remain
from inside than outside; it has long given up the virtues of a coherent
Leadership and that could be its undoing. But, if the top Leadership of BJP and
RSS swing and back the Leadership of Narendra Modi with due representation to
women and youth then they could romp back home in 2014 with a few friends in
east and south.
“Congress Hatao” could be a very good slogan for Modi to
enthuse its cadres during elections; but, for Governance he would need to court
a moderate face of Vajpayee to be accepted and loved by all sections of a
diverse Indian polity. Modi could do well to visit 10 Janapath to wish the lady
good luck before starting his National Campaign; if for nothing else, but to
seed a working relations with the boss of largest party in Indian democracy. No
body could wish away the Congress Party how so ever one may wish or try; the
oldest party would remain strong in its designated constituency though it may
have to cede considerable amount of space to the Right under the onslaught of
anti incumbency. Modi should now understand that no single party could find
solution to the myriad problems that India
faces now; as it did not happen in last 65 years. What you would need the most
is a ‘collaborative and compassionate approach’ while preserving
the mandate for time bound execution of all policies in National interest.
