Ten attributes that make #Modi the most effective & popular leader - A thread 🧵

1. Has a compelling vision for Bharat - A developed nation by 2047 with a per capita income of 12,500 dollars pa. A nation rooted in our rich ancient cultural & spiritual heritage….1/11 2. Strong conviction - Maintains strategic autonomy in most testing situations. An unapologetic Hindu. Put faith in #Atmanirbhar Bharat programme delivering amazing results. Had faith in our experts & system on #Covid mgmt & vaccines. Stood up to China. Pak shown its place….2/11

Caste politics - A small thread 🧵

Traditionally, two states most ridden with caste politics were UP & Bihar. One more underdeveloped and lawless than the other. The most ‘bimaar’ of the Bimaru states. Then came #YogiAdityanath in UP & he changed the face of UP. Today…1/6 UP is rid of caste politics (or it plays as big or small a role as in any other state) & lawlessness while Bihar still stares at caste politics as its mainstay. UP did not need a caste census or a special status (other demand #NitishKumar & #laluyadav constantly hanker for)…2/6

A historic #ModiInUS visit

6 key takeaways (A small thread)

1. US govt believes #Modi is coming back in 2024!

Modi has less than a year to go in office & yet what he has been able to extract from US in the form of tech transfer, most advanced drones, chip & jet engine…1/10 manufacturing, NASA-ISRO Partnership etc is unprecedented. US has never opened up its gates so wide for Bharat but Modi with less than a year left in office, has done it! It’s quite obvious that US secret services through their networks have gauged that Modi is coming back…2/10

#Modi was sent to Gujarat to resolve crisis within BJP party & govt in 2001. Within months another crisis befell in the shape of Gujarat riots. He sorted out governance issues & ensured riots never ever happened again in a communally strife torn state of …2/8

I finally heard #RahulGandhi ‘s full speech and present to you a synopsis below to save you from an hour of torture.

His speech has three key themes:

1. Bad mouth India & demonise #Modi :

#democracy under attack, press judiciary undermined, girls getting gang-raped…1/7 People dissuading from hugging kids coz they were ‘dirty’ (alluding to untouchability), Kashmir is a violent place, Modi has a divisive agenda, he treats Sikhs, Muslims, minorities as second class citizens, he is trying to enforce his own idea of India on a union of states…2/7

What’s really happening in PUNJAB?

Born & brought up there & having lived through dark ages, I am concerned today, like every patriot.

Let’s start with d ‘perceived’ root:

CANADA:

We all know, the money, men, motivation & resources are coming from Canada. But why is….1/16 Canada doing it & why is nobody stopping it. You see, Canada is a toothless tiger. They hardly have any armed forces. They depend on US for protection so their geopolitics & foreign affairs are driven by the US. On their own they couldn’t dare take such a bold step of…2/16

10 things that #Modi has done which no PM has ever done before. A brief thread:

1.Demolished Nehruvian order of crony socialism and darbari culture, showing Lutyen’s media & Khan Market Gang its rightful place.
2.Did not just talk socialism but walked it by…1/6 ensuring welfare & development reached the bottom of the pyramid.

4.Broke the back of terrorism by hitting their financial sourcing & effectively controlling it.
5.Cleared all obstacles in the way of Ram Temple judgement as well…2/6

Some folks are exulting as UK has had its first Hindu PM. Well the irony is that he has become the PM not because of his Hindu roots but because UK saw him as the most capable amongst the lot to sort out the mess. This also points out to the bane that Indian…1/7 polity suffers with, to offer positions on the basis of identity. Sadly & unfortunately, a whole host of our intellectuals and media personnel promote this peculiarity as they too suffer from the same mindset.

Some folks are lamenting why India is not so diverse….2/7

As he turns 72 today, I ponder on what differentiates PM #Modi the most from his political rivals? On serious reflection, if I were to answer it in a sentence, it is that while his rivals work towards family & self preservation at the cost of national interests,…1/15 Modi is an epitome of self sacrifice and symbolises the true spirit of nationalism and love for countrymen. However, this calls for a detailed explanation, so please allow me to provide a few pointers in this thread:

As soon as he assumed PM office…2/15

Do number of hours you put in define your commitment to your job? Is it how you should look at your job? (A perspective)

As the debate rages on #worklife balance vis a vis commitment to work, which in some sections is also now being equated with the no of hours put in by…1/7 employees, I feel, we are missing the real point that is ‘meaningful work’. On this aspect the following three questions are critical:

1. Are you self #motivated to do what you do?

This has a direct linkage with your #purpose to work. The purpose could be linked to…2/7

Nehru’s legacy:

India’s first working PM (India’s first PM, provisional, was Netaji) Jawaharlal #Nehru , who remained PM of our poverty stricken country for 17 years consecutively, could call to his credit only a single AIIMS, an ISRO, a BARC, a few IITs & a handful…1/9 of money guzzling Public Sector Enterprises (white elephants) to maintain whom Indian tax payers had to pay through their noses. This is the legacy that #Congress party, Gandhis & their acolytes tom-tom about. Is it really worth it, forget bragging about it?? Shameful !!…2/9

This thread is in response to an ex economic advisor who gets all his data from taxi drivers, ex RBI gov who failed miserably & ex FM who successfully did farming worth crores in his kitchen garden, all claiming India is going Sri Lanka way.

Muslim Brotherhood (MB)

Started in Egypt in 1928, it is said that British intelligence had a big hand in promoting it. It’s goal is to have a confederation of states governed by Sharia under a caliphate. Hence, it aims to dislodge established regimes & impose Sharia rule…1/12 It dethroned Egypt govt and ruled for an year before it itself got kicked out & was banned in Egypt.

My response to below article by @TheJaggi

At the outset I agree with 2 critical aspects he raises:
1. Why haven’t history books changed till date.
2. Free temples (or, in my view, also control places of worship of other religions).

Other than…1/11

swarajyamag.com/politics/nupur… these 2 substantial points, I disagree with him on 2 key assumptions he makes in the article:

1. Modi needs to communicate better with his party (Nupur/Naveen) & voter base.

It has been clarified by the party today that there were enough warnings given to both but they…2/11

It is regrettable that Raghuram Rajan (RR), Ex Governor RBI, is losing no opportunity trying to derail the India story hence, needs to be rebutted point-wise:

He says India’s ‘anti minority’ image will lead to loss of market.
