How Modi settled into his style of functioning? Criminals prey on opportunity to steal. Modi, the politician, is no different.
His style was dictated by his political necessities & convenience. His brutal, savage approach, inborn or developed, helped him for over two decades.
/1
He is a street-smart politician preying for opportunities. But it does not easily come by to knock on your doors with so much competition.
Modi, like a turbojet, sucked in, squeezed all before him to create a vacuum and moved forward.
Morals were never his concern.
/2
Modi is aware of his weaknesses. More so, he knows vulnerabilities of others and how to exploit them.
He has limitations in entering into a debate. So avoids questions and answers even in parliament.
He only responds with monologues, Mann Ki Baat, lies, punchlines & truisms.
/3
It is naturally not a surprise if he does not address open press conferences.
Why should he expose himself?
Is it stipulated anywhere in the constitution?
Even if so, there are courts to take care of it. As a PM, he can also take care of the courts & independent institutions.
/4
For Modi, this internecine warfare within a democracy is ‘normal and healthy’ as it serves as check for others crossing ‘his’ limits.
For him, democracy is only a tool to achieve ends. Whose ends is a matter of perception. As long as people have elected him, he will decide it.
/5
People have ‘trust’ in Modi, his style of functioning and entrusted with the job to lead them & the nation.
He does not like people challenging him & testing his limits of patience. Whether they are from the opposition, Andolan Jeevis, farmers, other people or even from BJP.
/6
Modi knows he is adamant, arrogant and obstinate about his decisions.
His limitation is a preset agenda of his own and that of RSS on whose strength he survives.
Why should he bother about people or others? If he starts yielding, their fort will start farting and vaporising.
/7
He thrives and survives on pumped up images, perception built by the manoeuvred media.
He provides them with his jokes, lies and presents himself with costumes like a buffoon.
If you deny this to Mr India, the naked emperor will collapse; his dresses will fall to the ground.
/8
So Modi, with all his powers, employs, deploys his trusted troops, agents, executives, mercenaries to accomplish or fix specific tasks with all force.
He does not bother too much about democracy, freedom of speech or rights.
What is more important is the execution of the job.
/9
Modi may be exercising his power arbitrarily, disregarding existing bodies of law. It becomes Authoritarianism & stands in fundamental contrast to democracy.
So what if it is so. He drew or extracted power from people democratically. He can do what suits his style & agenda.
/10
This is a satirical version of getting into Modi’s shoes, trying to read his sub-conscience.
Even while visualising, it hurts, infects and kills a person like me having a normal mindset.
This kind of virus can only thrive in a body like that of Modi.
/11
The above are excerpts of my new blog: 'The style of Modi’s functioning and its dynamics.'
The political leaders come from various walks of life. They may be from political groups, families, bureaucrats and so on.
A combination of factors leads them to the position of a leader of a party or post.
Some of them presume themselves to be supermen.
It is sheer nonsense.
/1
No individual becomes supreme just because of getting elected to a post.
How do they become different overnight?
Have they come from Moon or Mars?
How their chest suddenly expands or gets filled with 'I know it all; I am the best person to provide solutions for every problem?'
/2
We do not have an ideal electoral system. Moreover, our opportunistic politicians create confusions and fish in muddied waters.
People tend to see hope in some flowers. Everything is purple and pink when the lotus blooms. But it soon withers. Who should we blame for this?
/3
BJP always searches for chief executives or opportunists on lifetime settlement plans from other parties in states where they could not find suitable jokers within.
BJP is a closely held Private Company owned by the RSS family. It periodically appoints CEOs to widen its base.
/1
The company builds platonic relationships with outsiders. Some clever and cunning associates steal copyrights to build their small islands.
They start mimicking BJP company head Modi with advertisements in the media. They also distribute public funds for their survival.
/2
But to be fair, ambition is not sole privilege of old politicians, political families, and hate brigades.
Like Modi/ RSS, Kejriwal also searches for CEOs, bureaucrats, actors with a ready image in all states. Aam Aadmi could not find Khas Aadmis. But he has a right to dream.
/3
The frenzied and fancied activities in the political field or the social media by the opposition, its supporters, sympathisers produced nothing in effect when one goes by the results in Bengal.
BJP could retain its vote share despite its total failures and hostile atmosphere.
/1
There is much to learn from defeats and victories which are often overlooked.
The opposition parties and also their active supporters in social media need to undergo a course of brainstorming and self-analysis.
Their potential may be getting wasted by the wrong approach.
/2
The political parties may do post facto analysis which is an internal process.
They will come out blaming strong winds, depressions, storms and settle in their routines without much of the inconvenient, exhaustive exercises of brainstorming sessions to rectify their mistakes.
/3
The churning of the ‘ocean of milk’ for ‘purification’ of the political system started by Anna ended up in the release of poisonous, opportunistic political elements.
They usurped power exploiting the weaknesses of people and the system, destroying democracy.
/1
Even after 7 years, all sane citizens of this country are still dazed and yet to regain consciousness.
The lies, propaganda of Fascist polluted the atmosphere using the pliable media.
The ignorant and unsophisticated people continue to be so with no way of knowing the truth.
/2
Congress and opposition leaders should get out of their bed and see the world.
It appears as if they were in a state of coma during this period and have not still registered what has happened to the people.
There is some limb and lip movement here and there. Are they enough?
/3
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.
