I and Narendra Modi, “maut ka saudagar,” don’t get along. RSS knows why.

The secret of Modi is not so secret, as per your collective, Oops, collective, wisdom. half the people you quoted in this very article, were not even born when I pitchforked Narendra Modi’s royal (RSS) ass.

It is a freak show. RSS lost their (Apolitical) virginity when the then Sarsanghachalak, Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar, experienced his first wet dream.

Golwalkar and the founder of RSS were like father and (appointed) son. two peas in a pod. They instantly bonded together.

However, Madhav and his guru, Keshav had nothing in common. Keshav was an (almost) orphan when the then right wing fundamentalist icon, B S Moonje, had another wet dream.

Why not militarize Brahmins? Why not? The answer came quickly.

As a person who has been matriculated in British Raj, Keshav could have found a nice job in any and all branches of Raj. The sad story of his life, starts right there. He couldn’t. Not even as a Chaprasi’s job.

A man needs some kind of job to earn a reputation in the marriage market. Though he could have married to a healthy, if not a wealthy young lassie, the day he passed his test.

The middle class families would throw in some notable dowry along with his choice of lassie in tow. Moonje was a Malgujar, (a middleman, money lender and land/property holder and dealer). He must have tried his best.

Such a bad luck chasing him, Keshav got what they call, in today’s terminology, a home study/ postal diploma in, guess what? Homeopathy from a Calcutta diploma factory.

Bad luck again. Not a single human being came to him for normal or abnormal medical/physical problem, they say.

First to be an orphan raised by a very successful Brahmin, Moonje. Then being a chattel of Moonje, being trained to have a profession. Then the series of misfortunes.

What do you get from the long and sad journey?

Instant celebrity. Founder of the first ever, organized religious faction of Hindu Maha Sabha, dominated by Brahmins. Not necessarily, getting along with each others.

“We want to unite (Brahmin’s personal property) Bharat.”

That is the seed, from which has sprouted Narendra Modi branch.

My personal opinion about Narendra Modi is positive. He has what any of the several Sarsanghchalaks lacked.

Go for the guts, gumption.

Six reasons why Narendra Modi may never be PMBharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Chief Minister of Gujarat Narendra Modi, left, and party president Nitin Gadkari wave to the crowd during a public rally in Mumbai, India. AP

 

by Lakshmi Chaudhry and Sandip Roy

Every conversation about Narendra Modi turns inevitably to the Godhra riots. Has he dodged the bullet or remains forever tainted? The debate soon devolves into a pitched battle of the keyword: pseudo-secularists, neo-nazis, Rajiv Gandhi, communalism, jholawalas et al. All of the heat serving to obscure the obvious: Godhra is now irrelevant to Modi’s fortunes.

It maybe an unpalatable reality for the liberal left, but most Indians view the events of 2002 as ancient history. They don’t want to move on. They have, in fact, already moved on. But there are, however, six far more compelling reasons why Modi will never become Prime Minister, or enjoy an extremely short tenure if he does.

Man versus Party

If Modi were running for the highest office in the United States – where the candidate is all — his prospects would be bright indeed. We are a parliamentary democracy, where the individual matters far less than the party. There are exceptions. A regional leader can start his or her own party a la Mamata, but it does not work at the national level. Or else one family can dominate a national party, but that requires the advantage of dynasty.

Any BJP candidate for the top post has to be a party man – and enjoy the unqualified backing of its political jeevan saathi, the RSS. Modi instead has made a career of alienating the leadership of both. He is the rare pracharak who rode the RSS coattails to power, but ruthlessly marginalised his own sponsors once in power. As former Gujarat chief minister Suresh Mehta tells Tehelka, “The RSS unit in Gujarat in toto is against him, from the prant pracharak to the lowest worker. Modi has broken the Sangh; broken the party. He has raised his own personal stake so high, he has decimated the party structures.” The local BJP organisations too have been rendered impotent and irrelevant.

Much is made of Modi’s megalomania, but a giant-sized ego is almost a requirement for a successful political career. AP

Despite the pomp and glory of the recent BJP meet, Modi’s elevation was, at best, a grudging acknowledgement of his power by a party leadership beset by the TINA problem. As one RSS leader told Caravan: “Shivling mein bichhu baitha hai. Na usko haath se utaar sakte ho, na usko joota maar sakte ho.” (A scorpion is sitting on the Shivling, the holy phallus of Lord Shiva. It can neither be removed by hand nor killed with a shoe.)”

That’s a sentiment undoubtedly shared by much of his party’s leadership, from Gadkari to Advani, once Modi’s protector. It’s hard to thrive in a parliamentary system when your own people don’t like you very much. As one BJP leader quipped to Outlook magazine, even if Modi succeeds in projecting himself as the next PM, “rest assured, the BJP will defeat him”.

The petty I

Much is made of Modi’s megalomania, but a giant-sized ego is almost a requirement for a successful political career. The real problem lies in a “scorched earth” policy of retribution that creates unnecessary enmity – most recently epitomised in the unseemly ouster of Sanjay Joshi. He had to be evicted from the party meet in Mumbai, prevented from taking the train to Delhi, and then summarily ousted from the party. It was NOT enough to win, his enemy had to be stripped and paraded in public.

But in insisting on his pound of flesh, Modi alienated everyone, including his party bosses who were now seen as cravenly submitting to his irrational demands. Whatever private satisfaction he gained from Joshi’s humiliation was undone by its political costs – creating a giant public rift at a moment when an image of party unity was urgently required. (Joshi is not an exception, but part of an entrenched pattern in Modi’s career – he most famously made sure that the crowds were kept away from a Vajpayee rally in his state to underline his power and score a political point.)

All politicians like to settle scores, but rarely at the cost of their – or their party’s – political fortunes. And once he is in the national spotlight, such tantrums virtually assure Modi a never-ending stream of bad press, making the great man wannabe look small-minded and mean. For a man used to grand epithets – as Tehelka points out – be they “mass murderer” or “Hindu Hriday Samrat,” playing the BJP’s poster boy of pettiness is a singular downgrade.

Divide and fall

That Modi is polarising is now a cliché. But the old truism gained fresh strength in the wake of the Joshi brouhaha. He has now earned the dubious honour of being the one man who forced an unprecedented public rift in even the famously disciplined RSS leadership.

Modi evokes extreme emotions, and all other issues recede into the background once he comes into the picture. The debate turns into a battle over the merits of the man himself, which bodes ill for the BJP. As a Modi supporter notes, “The irony is that the party needs him, but can it really risk positioning him as the prime ministerial candidate for 2014? Doing this would immediately turn the election into a highly-polarised referendum on Modi rather than the UPA’s bad governance.”

Modi truly inspires a loyal and formidable following, but at a price far too high to win a general election.

 

The playground bully

Modi can’t play nicely with others. That works fine when his sandbox is limited to Gujarat — a world where his way IS the highway. But New Delhi is an entirely different ballgame. The man who inherited a state with a two-thirds BJP majority is ill-equipped to managing a fractious and precarious coalition with egos almost as outsized as his own. He can bully the BJP national enclave into falling in line on Sanjay Joshi, but as Prime Minister he will soon find out that a Jayalalithaa can out-sulk him any day.

The raj dharma of coalition politics, as Mamata drills into Manmohan Singh every other day, is about learning to win some and lose some. “Modi only thinks of winning – and winning all the time,” a former CM of Gujarat told Caravan magazine. In a way, Manmohan Singh has survived as long as he has, because he is quick to bend – though increasingly at the cost of being ineffectual. Modi may be every bit as impotent in New Delhi for the exactly the opposite reason. “The man is so intolerant and full of himself, how can anyone expect  other leaders to work under him!” a BJP leader told Outlook.

 The charm deficit

While a broad streak of authoritarianism is hardly a disadvantage in a nation that still worships Indira Gandhi, Indians like their uber-strong leaders served to them with a hearty helping of paternal benevolence, be it Indira or Vajpayee. The investment rates in Gujarat may be important to the urban middle class, but the average Indian is looking for a leader who inspires trust and affection.

Modi suffers from a charm deficit disorder that’s lethal for a politician in national retail politics. The Loh Purush has all the warmth of stainless steel. His cool detachment makes for bad television, and even his favourable media stories emphasise a technocratic competence and impersonal integrity. The often-touted fact that his mother still lives in a one room apartment may be evidence of his anti-nepotism, but it hardly makes for a “good son” story that can bring a tear to the eyes of his audience in, say, a village in Chikmagalur.

India is not Gujarat (or China).

Modi is lionised by a section of the middle class because as Vinod Jose points out in his profile in Caravan “he appears to prefer power to money, which is a particularly appealing proposition for voters who regard most politicians as corrupt, ineffective and weak.” He is the man who can get things done and has been able to deliver their dream state – one with minimal red tape, where a file goes through five people not 30, and the markers of progress are out there, ostentatiously displayed for everyone to see.

“But the problem for him is, Gujarat is not India,” a political commentator, sympathetic to Modi, tells Shoma Chaudhury in Tehelka.

As Chaudhury notes, Gujarat is more industrialised, more urbanised, and more homogeneous than most other Indian states – and therefore more receptive to Modi’s corporate Hindutva message. Even the Muslim community, (10 percent of the state) is largely Bohra and Memon, business communities that are amenable to working with Modi.

Modi’s also been able to turn all criticism about Godhra into an attack on Gujarati asmita (pride). But it will be near impossible to repurpose the inevitable flak generated by the campaign trail as an attack on mera Bharat mahaan. Modi is not India.

For huge swathes of India, the dream is not a Shanghai-style GIFT city rising out of barren wastelands. And even those on the development bandwagon have their doubts. A businessman who admires Modi because “he has made Gujarat relatively corruption-free” and “there are better roads and infrastructure,” also adds “You have all that in China too. But would I want to live in China?”

A Modi at the helm is the wet dream of a certain section of middle-class India that is impatient with the snail’s pace of progress in a parliamentary democracy, and yearns for a no-nonsense strongman who will not pander to any vested interest. But that fantasy of Modi, the CEO-CM, does not make Modi, the CEO-PM, any more likely.

“Hand Modi a two-thirds Lok Sabha majority, control of all the ministries he wants, and he might be able to govern India firmly. That may not be the same thing as governing India well,” muses Aakar Patel in Outlook.

But to put it differently, Modi will only be able to govern — at all — if he gets his party’s nomination and if he then delivers  a two-thirds Lok Sabha majority and if he then gets control of all the ministries he wants. Anything less, and he is likely never to govern at all — or not for very long.

Narendra Damodardas Modi (Gujarati: નરેન્દ્ર મોદી; born 17 September 1950[1]) is the current Chief Minister of the Indian state of Gujarat. Born in a middle class family in Vadnagar, he was the third of six children born to Damodardas Mulchand Modi and his wife Heeraben.[2] He has been a member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) since childhood also having interest in politics since adolescence. He holds a master’s degree in political science. In 1998, he was chosen by L. K. Advani, the leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), to direct the election campaign in Gujarat as well as Himachal Pradesh.

He became Chief Minister of Gujarat in October 2001, promoted to the office at a time when his predecessor Keshubhai Patel had resigned, following the defeat of BJP in the by-elections. His tenure as chief minister of Gujarat began on 7 October 2001, and he is the longest serving Chief Minister of the state of Gujarat.[3] In July 2007 he became the longest serving Chief Minister in Gujarat’s history when he had been in power for 2063 days continuously.[4] He was elected again for a third term[5] on 23 December 2007 in the state elections, which he had cast as a “referendum on his rule”.[6][7]

Contents

Personal life

Modi was born in a middle class family in Vadnagar in Mehsana district of what was then Bombay State, India.[8] During the Indo-Pak war in the mid sixties, even as a young boy, he volunteered to serve the soldiers in transit at railway stations.[9] As a young man, he joined the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, a student organisation and was involved in the anti-corruption Nav Nirmāṇ (“Reconstruction”) Movement. After working as a full time organiser for the organisation, he was later nominated as its representative in the Bharatiya Janata Party.[10] As a teenager Modi used to run a tea stall with his brother.[11] Modi completed his schooling in Vadnagar. He earned a masters degree in political science from Gujarat University.[12]

Early activism and politics

Modi was a pracharak (campaigner) in the RSS during his university years.[12][13] He took up the challenging task of energising the party cadres in right earnest. In partnership with Shankersinh Vaghela, Modi set about creating a strong cadre base in Gujarat. In the initial period, Vaghela was seen as a mass leader, while Modi was recognised as a master strategist.

The party started gaining political mileage and formed a coalition government at the centre in April 1990. This partnership fell apart within a few months, but the BJP came to power with a two-thirds majority on its own in Gujarat in 1995. During this period, Modi was entrusted with the responsibility of organising two crucial national events, the Somnath to Ayodhya Rath Yatra (a political rally through India on a converted Toyota van) of L.K. Advani and a similar march from Kanyakumari (the southernmost part of India) to Kashmir in the North. After the exit of Shankarsingh Vaghela from the BJP, Keshubhai Patel was made Chief Minister while Narendra Modi was sent to New Delhi as a General Secretary of the Party.

In 1995, Modi was appointed the National Secretary of the party and given the charge of five major states in India. In 1998, he was promoted as the General Secretary (Organization), a post he held until October 2001. In 2001, Narendra Modi was chosen by the party to be the Chief Minister of Gujarat after the removal of chief minister Keshubhai Patel.

Tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat

Personality

Modi is known for leading a frugal lifestyle. He has a personal staff of just three. He is known to be a workaholic Chief Minister and an introvert.[14] He ordered the demolition of many Hindu temples that were built without proper government sanction which earned him the ire of VHP[11] He is a crowd puller as a speaker. Modi has also tried to turn his image from an Hindu Nationalist politician to an image of able administrator. He sometimes wears business suits and is improving his command over the English language.[15]

Awards and recognitions

Modi was awarded Gujarat Ratna by Shri Poona Gujarati Bandhu Samaj at Ganesh Kala Krida Manch on celebration of centenary year.[16]

Development of Gujarat

As a Chief Minister, Modi started various ‘yojanas’ or plans. This includes:

  • Panchamrut Yojana,[17][18][19] a five-pronged strategy for an integrated development of the state,
  • Sujalam Sufalam, a scheme to create a grid of water resources in Gujarat in an innovative step towards water conservation and its appropriate utilisation.
  • Krishi Mahotsav – agricultural research labs for the land
  • Chiranjeevi Yojana – To reduce infant mortality rate
  • Matru Vandana – Providing preventive and curative services under the Reproductive and Child Health Programme
  • Beti Bachao – Campaign against female infanticide to improve sex ratio
  • Jyotigram Yojana – Provide electricity to every village
  • Karmayogi Abhiyan – To educate and train government employees
  • Kanya Kelavani Yojana – To encourage female literacy and education
  • Balbhog Yojana – Midday meal scheme for students to encourage school attendance from poor backgrounds.[20]

Vibrant Gujarat

Main article: Vibrant Gujarat

Vibrant Gujarat is a biennial Global Investors’ Summit held by the Government of Gujarat in Gujarat, India. The event is aimed at bringing together business leaders, investors, corporations, thought leaders, policy and opinion makers; the summit is advertised as a platform to understand and explore business opportunities in the State of Gujarat. the event has been held continuously since 2003.

Gujarat earthquake

The biggest challenge which he had to face when he took over as the Chief Minister, was the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the areas affected by the massive Gujarat Earthquake of January 2001.

Gujarat violence

Main article: 2002 Gujarat violence

On 27 February 2002, a train was burned by a Muslim mob in the town of Godhra leading to 59 deaths, most of them Hindu pilgrims and activists returning from the holy city of Ayodhya.[21] Riots broke out in the state after it was suspected to be caused by Muslims, leading to 1180 deaths, many of them Muslims. Modi administration was accused of inaction over the riots and for encouraging them.[15] As an aftermath of the riots, there were calls for Modi to resign from his position as chief minister of Gujarat. The opposition parties stalled the national parliament over the issue. Even Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and Telugu Desam Party (TDP), allies of the BJP, asked for Modi’s resignation.[22][23] Modi submitted his resignation to the Governor and recommended the dissolution of the 10th Gujarat Legislative Assembly.[24][25] In the following state re-elections the BJP, led by Modi, won 127 seats in the 182-member assembly.

In April 2009, the Supreme Court of India appointed a special team of investigators to look into the role Modi had played in the alleged anti-Muslim conspiracy.[15] The team was appointed in response to the complaint of zakia Jafri, the widow of ex-Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, who was murdered in the riots.[26] In December 2010, a Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) in its report to the Supreme Court seeking answers pertaining to the Ehsan Jafri case, submitted that they had found no evidence against Narendra Modi.[27]

However in February 2011, the Times of India reported that a confidential report from the SIT indicted Modi on several counts of alleged complicity in the Gujarat riots of 2002.[28] Most other sources have noted that the SIT report does not indict Modi for the riots due to lack of evidence.[29][30] The Indian Express too said the report did not find any Modi involvement in the violence, though it did accuse him of watering down the seriousness of the situation.[31] According to the Hindu, the report not only found that Modi tried to water down the seriousness of the situation, but Modi also implicitly justified the killings of Muslims, and failed to condemn the attacks on them.[32] The Bharatiya Janata Party demanded an investigation into the publication of the report, claiming the leak was politically motivated.[33]

The apex court refused to pass any order on the case and referred it to the Ahmedabad magistrate for a decision.[34] In April 2012, a Special Investigation Team found absolved Modi of any involvement in the Gulberg massacre, arguably the worst episode of the riots.[35]. On 7 May 2012, a Supreme Court-appointed amicus curiae, Raju Ramachandran observed that Modi can be prosecuted under sections 153 A (1) (a) & (b), 153 B (1), 166 and 505 (2) of the Indian Penal Code for promoting enmity among different groups during the 2002 Gujarat riots.[36]. However the amicus report has been criticised by the Special Investigation Team for relying heavily on the testimony of a perjurer[37].

2007 elections

Modi made a speech at Mangrol in which he justified the alleged fake encounter of Sohrabuddin Sheikh, During the election campaign In response to Sonia Gandhi‘s speech calling him a “merchant of death”,[38] and referred to Sohrabuddin’s killing. For this speech the Election Commission of India, a constitutional body governing election proceedings in India, cautioned Modi as it considered it as indulging in an activity which may aggravate existing differences between different communities.[39] Modi won the election and continued his post as the Chief Minister Of Gujarat, he won with majority of votes of 122 seats out of 182 total assembly seats.[40]

Conflicts with Governor Kamla Beniwal

On 25 August 2011 Gujarat Governor Kamla Beniwal appointed Justice R A Mehta to the post of Lokyukta of Gujarat, a critical anti-corruption post that had been lying vacant since 2003. Justice R A Mehta was recommended for the post by the Chief Justice of the Gujarat High Court in June. Since Governor Beniwal had made this decision without consulting and getting the approval of the chief minister and his council of ministers, the action angered Narendra Modi and his BJP party.[41]

This marked the beginning of a strained relationship between Modi and the Governor. On 25 September 2011, Narendra Modi accused the Governor of running a parallel government in the state supported by the Congress. He demanded that she be recalled back.[42] He also later accused her of delaying the progress of bills by not passing them.

The decision of the governor in the appointment of R A Mehta was challenged in the high court by the Modi government. The two member high court bench gave a split verdict on 10 October 2011. Later, a third member upheld the governor’s decision in January 2012.[43]

Foreign visits

As the Chief Minister of the Gujarat State, to attract foreign investment in the state, Narendra Modi has made visits to foreign countries, including China and Singapore.

Narendra Modi made his first China visit in 2007 to invite investors Vibrant Gujarat Global Investor Summit,[44] and second visit in November 2011. One month after the second visit to China, the Chinese Government released 13 Diamond traders from India jailed by the Shenzhen Customs, which the Chief Minister described as the consequece of his diplomatic efforts and statesmanship.[45]

In 2005 Narendra Modi was denied of diplomatic visa to the United States, in addition to this visa denial, he was also revoked from his already granted B-1/B-2 visa.[46]

Sadbhavna Mission

In the late 2011-early 2012 Narandra Modi practised a series of fasts in the name of Sadbhavna Mission. The mission started on 17 September 2011 in Ahmedabad with 3 day fast with a view to strengthen the atmosphere of peace, unity and harmony in the state. He observed total 36 fasts in 26 districts, 8 cities including Ahmedabad.[47]

Views and opinions

Modi’s position on terrorism

On 18 July 2006 Modi delivered a speech criticising Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh “for his reluctance to revive anti-terror legislations” like the Prevention of Terrorism Act. He asked the Centre to empower states to invoke tougher laws in the wake of the blasts in Mumbai.[48] Quoting Modi:

“ Terrorism is worse than a war. A terrorist has no rules. A terrorist decides when, how, where and whom to kill. India has lost more people in terror attacks than in its wars.[48] ”

Narendra Modi has frequently commented that if the BJP came to power at the Centre, they will honour the 2004 Supreme Court judgement to hang Afzal Guru.[49] Afzal was convicted of terrorism in the 2001 Indian Parliament attack in 2004 by the Supreme Court of India and is in Tihar Jail.[50]

On account of the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, on Thursday 27 November, Narendra Modi held a meeting to discuss waterfront security along the coastline.[51] The meeting decided to ask the Central government to urgently sanction the following:

  • Increase the number of police stations along the coast to 50 (from 10)
  • Increase the number of police to 1500 from 250
  • 30 modern high-speed surveillance boats.

The 30 coastal boats, under construction at Goa’s shipbuilding yard, will have the capacity to run at the speed of 25 nautical miles per hour. These are being manufactured under the Centre’s Rs 58-crore grant for coastal security.[51]

Views on criticism of Modi’s governance

In 2003, when Narendra Modi was asked about the conflict of his dreams for Gujarat’s future with international criticism of his past activities, Modi said,[52]

“ Yet, no one has asked this question to the USA after 9/11. Delhi is developing fast – no one has asked this question to Delhi after 1984. If it does not matter to Delhi and USA, why should it matter to Gujarat? ”

Modi’s decision to link Gujarat’s violence with the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the US drew criticism from some observers, who contrasted it with the then Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani’s unpleasant apology for Gujarat in London a year ago.[52] Modi responded to this criticism by The Guardian,[52]

“ I have not read and I would not like to read. But thank you people for spending time on me ”

    he has some merit in his arguments, states like bihar, up, bengal may not vote for him as they have a significant minority vote also more regional parties for some reason prefer to support congress instead of bjp. i personally support this guy but does it really matter…..plus lots of infighting in bjp, thats actually the only reason y upa is in power- lack of an effective bjp/ option!!!

  • most of the infighting is projected by media. just like this article.

  • Despite significant Minority population, Bihar has been voting BJP/NDA for two consecutive terms and not so early in past…BJP used to get 65-75 seats from UP………All it needs is a spark to bring back all those ppl….and that is exactly what is happening…
