The octopus of Modi, Shah, RSS is in a tearing hurry to spread their tentacles and gobble up still ignorant individuals, groups, parties and the country.

The opposition search for a more aggressive version of an authoritarian to neutralise them with the same tricks, tactics.
/1
It is more like creating a vaccine from the virus to fight it out. But before we could complete our research, the strain changes.

The opposition with its limited resources could have opted for a proper response mechanism to prevent and protect themselves from the virus.
/2
Neither patience nor impatience is going to help. People went on the wrong track to believe Modi & Co in 2014. He exploited the weakness and impatience of people to secure a 5-year term and extracted an extension in 2019 misusing all his powers. Now people are suffering.
/3
We tend to develop strong likes & dislikes for film heroes. In politics, you are to be realistic. Hero worship is not going to pay in the long run. Modi is a typical example.

Congress and the opposition, unfortunately, could not present a strong challenger to Modi nationally.
/4
In our hurry, we jump to conclusions and love at the first sight. We are heartbroken and land up with divorces.
Presently we need counselling not only before marriage but even before building relationships.
We are neither understanding our partners nor our leaders.
/5
The problem lies with individualism and authoritarianism. It is a toxic concoction of self-imposed supremacy, narcissistic behaviour.

No one is supreme and no one knows the complete solution for all problems and issues. It needs a collective effort and a conducive atmosphere.
/6
The present configuration of India with a wide variety of cultures, languages, social and economic disparities, is still a nascent democracy suffering from the pangs of all kinds of epidemics and pandemics.

The system is yet to get vaccinated and made ‘Modi-proof’.

The above are excerpts of my new blog post: 'The octopus of fascism and poor response mechanism'
Subhead: Nascent democracy should be made ‘Modi-proof’;

Modi, Shah, BJP, RSS and all their wings, groups use double-edged swords.
If they make risky manoeuvres they will hurt themselves. It perforates the perception among people.
Still, if they are indulging in it, it shows their nervousness, desperation and fear of losing the war.
/1
They are aware that the majority of Indians are not communal. The divisive, communal base they created is not growing anymore. Instead, it is declining overall, more due to Modi’s failures and misadventures.

So their tactics are turning more overtly aggressive and unethical.
/2
Their awkward and arrogant aggression started with article 370, Ram Mandir, CAA and the suppression of that agitation. It continued with farmers’ issues, snatching powers of the Delhi government. Now immediately after the loss in Bengal, they continue fighting for every inch.

Some of the congress leaders are sure that Rahul cannot lead Congress to power.

We are always certain about what others cannot do. We are not so sure or ignore what we cannot do.
Now let us ask some questions.

Who is the alternative to Rahul, Gandhi family to lead Congress?
/1
In many states, they only have a mere presence with diehard cadres and supporters. Congress has to undertake the job to revive, strengthen it all over the country. They cannot do it without organisational reconstruction and resurrection. There is no one visible except Rahul.
/2
The group culture has taken roots and will not go away so easily. These groups within led to the destruction of the party.

Congress cannot survive anymore unless these groups are eliminated.
A new leader can only emerge with their support and cannot neutralise these groups.

India is a democratic country. Are we a mature and fully functional democracy? We are not.
Whether our political parties are democratic. Absolutely not. It is notional to comply with rules.
Congress has a partial internal democracy but more dictated by leaders & their groups.
/1
How internal democracy in Congress was eroded and corroded is a long story but it lost its strength with the dilution of democracy within.

Most of the leaders, media blamed it on the ‘Dynasty’. It is far from true. Gandhis including Indira staunchly believed in democracy.
/2
Call it charisma, sacrifices or brand value, the Gandhi family had a hold on the masses and it weakened with the rise of individualism and group culture.

The syndicate leaders in their greed for power divided the Congress party creating their own groups with Congress cadres.

Every political party is checkmated in a way. No one comes out with flying colours. That also includes Mamata while the left front in Kerala is least affected.

The organisational weakness of Congress shows up again in results.

BJP has a lot to worry about its performance.
/1
They are using or misusing the entire machinery at full throttle. Still, results are not promising but portend a threat to their dominance.

Even if there is a hint of Modi losing his grip, the suppressed, threatened independent institutions would start asserting their rights.
/2
The pandemic threat of the second wave of the ‘Modi/ Shah/ RSS virus’ is receding. The Law of diminishing returns has set in.

The extent to which they put in efforts using everything at their command has not produced any visible result in Tamilnadu, Kerala or even Puducherry.

The confusion, fear, threat in the minds of the people about what the future holds is all-pervading. That is the political reality after the recent elections.

The national parties Congress, BJP are worst affected. The victory of regional parties is only a deceptive euphoria.
/1
How much of Mamata’s victory causes jubilation and to what extent it is a pyrrhic victory in abnormal circumstances with main opponents are authoritarian in their own way is difficult to quantify.

But BJP forced such polarisation, hatred among people. Mamata had to respond.
/2
The aftereffects of such a full-fledged war using every ammunition available with them Modi, Shah, BJP, RSS managed to drive divisions deeper.

But who is going to provide the healing touch? We are not having Gandhiji, Ashoka around to bring normalcy. Can Mamata accomplish it?

The need of the hour is to unite all those who are opposed to Modi, Shah and RSS to defeat their strategy of dividing people, spreading hatred to impose their ideology.

Most of the opposition parties groups are united by their secular, democratic vein but divided by egos.
/1
What is the purpose of having or forming separate parties or groups when there is no logical reason except for personal domination, the progress of their leaders or groups?

When they are bound by equality and justice where is the justification to impose one’s superiority?
/2
The left parties and few other regional parties have different roots and ideology though most of them are bound by secularism and equality.

Most of the other parties have roots in Congress ideology. Why should they stand divided and pull each other down benefitting BJP?
