UNTOUCHABLE SABIR ALI

                           UNTOUCHABLE SABIR ALI

        During election season,it is quite common for politicians to change their old party and join a new political party seeing their own prospect and the prospect of the party.This also gives an indicator which party has caught the imagination of the people.Many stalwarts either refuged  to contest the election on Congress ticket or abandoned it and joined BJP to contest 2014 election seeing the poor prospect of Congress in this election because of very poor track record of last ten years.They had no say in the governance or could not raise their voice as the Congress culture does not allow any party worker to raise dissent,only members of Gandhi family have say.Even the Prime Minister had no say in governance though he was the constitutional head of Government.
        Many political leaders who have been spitting venom against BJP or its Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi since 2002 riots.He was called by various names in the last decade.Ram Kripal Yadav,General Secretary and right hand man of Lalu Prasad abused Modi for the riots.He was unhappy with Lalu Prasad for denying him ticket from Patliputra and joined BJP.He was welcomed by BJP and is contesting election on BJP ticket.Ram Vilash Paswan was the Minister in NDA government but resigned from it on 2002 riots in Godhara.He continuously abused Modi but BJP extended both arms and struck an alliance with his LJP and conceaded 7 seats to him.There was no murmour against him.Satoal Maharaj from Uttarakhand was admitted in BJP and is contesting election on BJP ticket.One day chief Minister of U.P.fame Pal resigned from Congress and is a BJP candidate from U.P.
           However,when Sabir Ali was denied Rajya Sabha nomination by JDU and was asked to contest from Sheohar in Bihar,Sabir Ali felt uncomfirtable and started planning to leave Nitish Kumar and ride Modi wave.The speculation came right and he was admitted in BJP fold on a day when BJP President was in Lucknow and other important leaders were out of Delhi.Sabir Ali was welcomed by Shudhansu Trivedi,a close confident of Sri RajNath Singh,in Party`s fold.Immediately,Sri Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi,Vice President and a Muslim face of BJP tweeted against the admission of Sabir Ali in BJP by issuing scathing remarks against Sabir Ali that terrorist of Indian Muzahdeen Bhatkal was arrested from Sabir Ali`s residence and that next is Dawood who would be admitted in the party.Such a strong statement of Naqvi created ripples in BJP.Naqvi was supported by Rameshwar Chaurasia and Katiyar.RSS also took objection to his admission.Many BJP supporters on Twitter expressed strong reservation,I also expressed my doubts on his admission.Sabir Ali was a strong JDU face on TV channels firing against BJP and Narendra Modi.His comments against Modi used to be frightening,Modi was painted by Sabir Ali as a master mind behind 2002 riots.No doubt,it used to be very annoying for the fans of Modi,I was one of them.
            All TV channels were so much abuzz with this one news item that they almost forgot to show the face of their darling Kejriwal.So much pressure was mounted on BJP was it became clear that Said Ali is also going to meet the fate of Pramod Muthalik who had become face of moral policing in Karnataka.Ultimately, Sabir Ali`s admission was annulled by the BJP President despite the clarification of Sabir Ali denying emphatically the charges of Naqvi that Bhatkal was never arrested from his residence and that he had no connection what so ever with Bhatkal.Sabir Ali has now sued Naqvi for defaming him without any foundation and has claimed Rs.5 Cr. as compensation.
            All the aforesaid apart,I am thinking aloud whether it is beneficial for BJP to drain out this opportunity. No doubt, he was a rabid face against Modi and used to abuse him profusely in all TV discussion but was he admitted in the party without the consent of top brass of the party.Was the President not consulted or other top leaders not taken into confidence before his admission? I am not prepared to believe it.The entire think tank of BJP must had midnight oil burnt to ponder over the pros and cons of admission of such a sworn enemy of Modi. To my mind,Sabir Ali was a big catch for Modi and BJP and was more than willing to be an ardent follower of Modi.At least,one enemy was won and had become a follower. He could have been a weapon in the hands of Modi to beat a bigger enemy Nitish Kumar in Bihar.Narendra Bhai and BJP are trying hard to change the mind set of minority and draw them closer,was Sabir Ali not an amonition in their hands to win over a few percentage of Muslim votes.
            To my mind,an opportunity has been squandered under pressure from a couple of leaders.Lot of efforts made before his admission has been drained out.A big catch has slipped between the fingers.BJP must think aloud.

HAR HAR MODI

                                      HAR HAR MODI

        The chanting of "Har Har Modi,Ghar Ghar Modi" has hurt Swami Swarupanand Ji Maharaj,Shankaracharya of Dwarikapeeth.He complained to RSS Chief Sri Mohan Bhagwat Ji in this respect.I am not aware what was the response of RSS Chief but BJP clarified that this slogan was not given by BJP.It reiterated that BJP`s slogan is "AB KI BAR MODI SARKAR".
        AAJ TAK carried out a programme at 04.00 PM from Varanasi on this slogan.One of the scholar said that Har Har Mahadev is a Mahavakya coming from ancient time and that it is a  prayer to Lord Shiv to remove all obstacles in life.He further said once BJP said that it is not its slogan, chapter is closed.But Ms.Anjana Om Kashyap did not stop and continued to interview people.She asked Akhilesh Pratap Singh who as usual condemned this act of sloganeering.
          Now the question is :- Are people justified in raising this slogan?
          People reacted that since people are oppressed for the last 60 yrs. and Modi is seen as a man of devlopment,such a slogan is justified.He said that it should not be connected with the religion.Others also justified it on various grounds.But people were enthused in favour of Modi.
        Let us also examine it according to our scriptures.Hindus have diverse ways of worshiping unlike other religious denominations.Ways are diverse but goal is one, to reach the Almighty. Some worship Lord Shiv,whereas others worship Lord Vishnu in His different incarnations like Lord Ram or Lord Krishna, but they are not adverse to each other rather they compliment each other.Some worship Shagun Swarup but others worship Nirgun Swarup.It is a matter of own perception.
        Bhawan Ved Vyas ,apart from expanding four Vedas,created eighteen Puranas in praise of different deities who are followed by their devotees. One Purana is not in condemnation of others.They at times are seen as a bridge to connect each other.It again depends upon one`s own perception but do not creat animosity amongst the devotees.
         The Rig Veda says :- Sarve Khal Vidam Brahman. It means God is verily in every thing.
           Isha Vasya Upanishad says:- Isa Vasya Midam Sarvam, Yad Kinch Jagtyam Jagat.It means God is present in every thing.
           Srimad Bhagwad Gita says:- Ishwarah Sarva Bhutanam.It means God is present in every thing.
          Such is the perception of our scriptures.If God is present in every being,why this kind of objection is being recked up particularly by Dharm Gurus.Our Constitution guarantees freedom of expression to every one,why this fundamental right is being tampered with.It should be left to the wisdom of people who have to exercise this right unless it is against public order or morality.
          However, the controversy has been rested by Sri Narendra Modi himself who by tweeting said that he respects the sentiments of the people but would like them not to raise this slogan.

ENEMIES WITHIN

                               ENEMIES WITHIN

        Examination is by chance but election is by skill,though it is also a test for the candidate and the political party."Har Har Modi,Ghar Ghar Modi" is now not confined to the electorates of Varanasi alone,it has entered every lip elsewhere also.Varanasi is a foregone conclusion,Modi will emerge from there,he is influencing voters all around,even in deep South which had remained untouched by stalwart Vajpaee Ji who was a hero in Hindi belt.Modi has touched the aspirations of voters voters in all the four southern states,number of seats from that region may be disputed but he will not remain unaccounted.
         There are many indicators of Modi`s popularity every where and there is definite impact,not only in India but in West Countries too.The untouchable Modi is appreciated by them too,his development planks have shown positive results.They are leaning on to him,even U.S.have shown inclination towards him and closing itself to him.Media of all hues predict positive in his favour.
         Political parties and politicians are cozying up to him.Six months back when it was in process to declare him as face of BJP,Congress was confident that once he is declared as Prime Ministerial candidate,all its sins of corruption,price rise,misgovernance,anti people and oppressive policies shall be buried and only core question would be secularism.All Seculer parties would hinge around UPA and come closer to it.There will not be any taker of NDA as it happened during 13 days government of Vajpaee Hi but contrary to its expectations,thee is no buyer of UPA and even its own leaders are mortally scared of fighting on hand signal,hand became really a "Khuni Punja" as declared by Modi.One by one they declined to fight election in 2014.Ambika Soni declared this morning that Congress high command says that an impression is doing the round that Congress leaders are frightened of loosing the election,so they must contest.So congressmen are contesting election just to fill in the gaps without commitments.
           When political inviorenment is so congenial for Modi and BJP, an enemy is immerging from within.Sri Lal Krishna Advani who is undoubtedly the tallest leader in BJP still appears to be a Prime Ministerial contender.In 2009,he was P.M face reduced BJP to a 116 member legislative party from145 member party again has a lurking temptations still kicking alive.When there was a process underway,LKA expressed dissent on every ocassion and created ebarrassements to the party,made all party leaders to rush to him.He openly criticized party`s step to declare Modi As Prime Ministerial face.From public platform,he showered praises on Shiv Raj Singh Chauhan and dwarfed Modi saying Gujarat was already a developed state.LKA even ignored Modi`s presence on the same stage not giving positive impression.
          LKA`s followers in BJP like Yashwant Sinha,Shatrughna Sinha and others aired their views publicly that Advani Ji being the senior most leader should be the Prime Ministerial candidate forgetting that in 2009,he had brought debacle to the party and that Modi`s development slogan was receiving warmth from every quarter.JDU inspite of having divorced BJP parted lessons to the party that they will support NDA if Advani is their face.Shiv Sena is also ploughing the same path today.One journalist castigated BJP`s 160 Club to admonish them that their desire that BJP will stop at  160 giving a chance to LKaA,SS,AJ like leaders t claim Prime Ministerial aspiration.
           Sri Lal Krishna Advani Ji never made any honest effort to dispel the doubt that he is not a contender for the high office.He and his supporters keep fanning the fire.It is unfortunate indeed that BJP is facing this dilemma today.It is Narendra Modi who has taken whirl wind tour of every corner of this country,attracting huge crowd every where.People are clinging on to Modi.If Pollsters take NDA`s tally to 230+ or new allies are coming to NDA,it is because of Modi.
       In 1980`s,I was very active member of Janta Dal.I was in direct contact with high ups in the party such as V.P Singh,Machu Dandvate,George Fernandez,Ram Krishna Hedge and host of leaders.I campaigned in U.P and Bihar along with other leaders.After the results,a meeting was going to be held to elect the leader of the party.Chandrasekhar Ji was dead against V.P Singh.It was agreed that Sri Devi Lal will be the leader of the party,Chandrasekhar Ji had given His approval forbDevi Lal.But there was resentment in the parties rank and file.We youngsters were upset with the top level agreement. I contacted Arun Nehru and Arif Mohammad Khan and expressed my resentment against the top level understanding which was against the popular perception that V.P Singh should be the Prime Minister.Arun Nehru and Arif told me that though Devi Lal will be elected the leader but he will pass on the leadership to V.P.Singh.The leadership issue was sorted out in the meeting as it was disclosed by Arun Nehru. Chandrshekhar Hi fumed and left the venue.That is how V.P.Singh became the P.M.
          Suffice to say that,come what ever be the conspiracy,Modi has caught the imagination of the people and we are pinning our hopes on Modi and Modi alone.The aspirations of the nation should not be tampered with.Nation will not excuse the traitors. It is better,all lend helping hand to Modi.

MODI AND MINORITIES

                               MODI AND MINORITIES

         Undoubtedly,Modi has become face of India.Political parties and their leaders can afford any thing but can not ignore Modi and their religion is to profusely abuse Modi.Arvind Kejriwal who wants to remain always in lime light is using Modi as ladder to climb up in politics with the help of Modi and thus chants Modi`s name like God`s name.He has further resolved to fight against Modi to steal the show against Modi and be in media.
         Indian Express has issued a list of 100 powerful persons in India listing Modi at number 1 followed by others.Why?The reason given are:-
                 "Because as BJP Prime ministerial candidate for the 2014 Look Sabha elections,he is the face of high voltage national campaign that has galvanized the party with its promise to deliver its best win ever........By scripting a narrative of development and decisive leadership and counting on an electorate that is young and impatient,he has been to deflect attention from questions on his role during the 2002 Gujarat riots"
              When BJP was likely to announce its prime ministerial candidate,Congress was almost certain that once Modi is declared as face of BJP,their battle was half won as they will be able to drive him away with the stick of Godhara riots and that all Muslims will turn against him spontaneously.Secular leaders rejoiced his pronouncement as P.M.candidate by BJP, but their festivities could not last long.Modi being a poster boy of RSS and a signature of Hinduism attracted and polerised Hindus in his favour more vigerousely,even Muslims started favouring him.
           Narendra Modi has been most persecuted leader in India`s political history who was hounded by seculer leaders and liberal Hindus for a decade for his alleged role in Gujarat riots.He had travel in the dark tunnel for so long without seeing any ray of hope at the end of the tunnel.But Modi did not loose his heart and continued to work hard on his development plank and showed speceticuler results in Gujarat.On several fronts,he achieved astounding success such as providing 24x7x365 days electricity,linking 24 rivers in the state to solve the problems of water in Gujarat,achieved great success in growth orientation and job creation etc.The good governance in Gujarat helped Muslims also to benefit from his efforts,their lives also became better and better,their employment rate came to be best in Gujarat as reported by Sachar Committee.11% Muslim's were reported to be employed in Police Department in Gujarat.
               Modi`s success storey reached all over the world.Western Nations started cozying up to him,expressed their desire to be partner in Gujarat.Investment started pouring in,Industries started taking shelter in Gujarat and flourishing. Even a country like U.S which had cancelled his Visa in 2005, expressed desire to resume broken relationships.All these started having impact on the minds of Muslims all around.They are trying to convince themselves that Modi is not their enemy as portraited by Secularists.In October,Patna rally,he openly declared that Hindus have to fight and poverty,Muslims have to fight against the poverty they are suffering from and that Hindus and Muslims do not have to fight against each other.
            Many Muslim clericks have openly declared that the Congress and seculer parties have been frightening them and using them only as a vote bank and that these parties have not tried to better their social life.Then came unfortunate Muzaffarnagar riots in which hundreds of Muslims lost their lives and properties and had to abandon their homes and live in relief camps without any relief leading a pathetic and miserable life in bitter cold.The State Government made a mockery of them and tried even to throw them from there.This incident is openening their eyes now.
            Even in Kashmir Valley dominated by Muslims feel that the UPA government in the last 10 years have compounded their problems and the normalization efforts made by Sri Vajpayee have been squandered. Atal Ji made genuine efforts to ease the valley and even ease relationships with Pakistan.He had reached the verge of reaching the final settlement with Musharraf.However,UPA did not take the process forward.They feel Narendra Modi alone can hold the thread from where it was left by Atal Ji.PDP of Kashmir openly favours Modi.
         The Seculer parties have always in the past  raised the bogey that if BJP comes to power,India will be disunited.NDA ruled India for more than 6 years but India remained united.Muslim minds which was made fragile for 65 years are now becoming strong and want to give a chance to Modi to better their lots on the growth and development plank.Even Modi can improve the life style of Gujarati Muslims,why should other Muslims be deprived of the advantage,They are sure,Modi who has come out from the dark tunnel would not like to go back to the same tunnel once again and that he will not even dream to stain his image.
            In Aligarh Muslim University,a section of Muslim leaders wanted to invite Mulayam Singh Yadav which was resisted by another section of Muslim student leaders who wanted to invite Modi.This forced Mulayam Singh Yadav to abandon his dream to visit.All go to show that neither Modi will be vindictive towards Muslims nor Muslims feel frightened by Modi.Narendra Modi as Prime Minister of India would like to implement his dream project of good governance and growth for all including Muslims,Dalits,middle class,farmers and Corporate Sector.
           Therefore,my conclusion is that Modi will be for all and all will be for Modi.

                            HITLER
Two days back Rahul Gandhi in a public meeting at Bhopal said"There is Gandhi and thete is Hitler."He had not named any one but it became a hot topic on media,almost all channels dwelling upon this subject.There was obvious reference to Narendra Modi.Therefore,the pertinent question is who is Hitler,Modi or someone else.People have not taken this abuse kindly.This abuse is one more adjective used for Modi who was called " Maut Ka Saudagar"by his mother Sonia Gandhi followed by "Zahar Ki Kheti " remark by her and "Yamraj" and "Bhasmasur" by Congress leaders.Now Rahul has called Modi Hitler.
         Criticising public leaders is not offencive in itself.During election leaders call each other by names and show disapproval of the policies persued by them in the past.It is common,no body can and should not take exception to it.It is part of democracy.Narendra Modi has been severly criticising P.M.Man Mohan Singh for his utter failures in administration,corruption,price rise etc.He has been critical to other Congress leaders including Sonia Gandhi,Rahul Gandhi and others.He drew attention of people towards corruption indulged by Vadra,son in law of Sonia Gandhi.He usually called Rahul as "Shahabzade",explaining that Rahul represents dynastic politics of Gandhi-Nehru family.
          Now let us examine dispassionately who is Hitler.Before independence in 1946,a Prime Minister was to be chisen.Sardar Patel was near unanimous choice for the office,Patel was sidelined at the dictates of Mahatma Gandhi in favour of Nehru though Patel was the organisational man.Who proved to be Hitler? Kashmir portfolio was taken away by Nehru from Home held by Patel,Sardar ressented and wanted to quit the Cabinet but persuaded not to quit.Who was Hitler? Kasmir is a big headache for the nation.In November1950,when China wanted to grab Tibet,Sardar Patel warned Nehru of the nefarious design of China of its expansionist ambitions,members of Parliament raised the issues many times in Parliament but Nehru would not listen to any one,Nehru continued to promote China in U.N.O.,Who was Hitler?
           After Sardar Patel passed away in December,1950 Nehru became unquestionable leader in Congress.No congress leader could raise an eye brow,in as much as Nehru-Ambedkar duo piolated Hindu Code Bill in Parliament amidst strong ressentment by Congress,Dr.Rajendra Prasad,the then President of India was so unhappy that he wanted to resign but Nehru in spite of all oppositions got the Hindu Code Bill passed.Who was Hitler?
           When Mrs.Indira Gandhi was unseated by Allahabad High Court for indulging in corrupt election practices,she got the Constitution ammended to favour her,she forced Fakhruddin Ahmad,President of India sign the promologation of Emergency without Cabinet approval and President had no option but to affix his signature.She called the Cabinet meeting at 06.00AM,and Cabinet had to approve draconian and unconstitutional emergency.Was she not a Hitler?
            Last year when Cabinet had approved the Ordinance in respect of disqualifications of MPs on the ground of conviction,Makan was defending the Ordinance in Press Club,Rahul appeared in Press Club as Robinhood and said "The Ordinance should be torn and thrown into the dust bin"The PM and the entire cabinet was put to embarrassement in withdrawing the Ordinance.Some Ministers expressed displeasure but seeing the pitiable condition of PM accepted the proposal to withdraw the Ordinance.In the AICC meeting Rahul demanded that the number of unsubsidised LPG cylinders be increased to 12 from 9 causing a loss of Forty Thousand Crores to the public exchequer.PM had other but raise the number of cylinders.Who was Hitler?
        Narendra Modi on the contrary rose from the dust,worked hard to go up in ladder,lived like a simple man wandering from place to place during his swang sewak days,crafted his dedication to influence his senior leaders in RSS and BJP,when given the job of CM of Gujarat,applied his mind to achieve his targets to deliver his promises.Yes,he took the responsibilities and control of his administration as he had not come down from a different planet.For central leadership also he convinced his party cadre that he is the right man for the top job.If people are looking forward to him,it is not because of his royalty but his hard work and incorruptibility in Indian politics.It was most unfortunate that a superimposed leader who has no natural inclination to politiced whise every action is contrived one had the audicity to call him Hitler.He should have peeped into his own sleeves before passing this uncharitable remark.People will teach Congress a unforgettable lesson.

                     WALKING ZIG ZAG

  The season to walk straight is up now and walking zig zag has come.Every political party and many politicians have abandoned the straight path as it does not suit them in the changing scenario.Whether there is Modi wave or not,can be contested by various political parties and loudely they deny this wave but they whisper at least that Modi has an edge all over,North to South and East to West.There are voters who openly favour in many states but still there are states where voters cling to regional parties and those regional parties are weighing their pros and cons to allien with NDA as their expectation too is in favour of Modi.
      Take the case of Bihar where LJP of Ram Vilash Paswan was in cold after drew a flak in the last election,in bewilderness he saw light at the end of tunnel and decided to cast off his animosity towards Modi on which plank he resigned from NDA and joined the bandwagon of Seculerists.But ultimately,he realised that he has future only with Modi and took a U turn and joined Modi bandwagon.Udit Raj was also in bewilderness but he also joined BJP to make a strong impact on dalit votes.In Maharastra,RIP joined the NDA combination.Even Raj Thakre could see the impact of Modi on voters and entered into an unwritten agreement with BJP infuriating Shiv Sena who are at the verge of breaking oldest alliance wirh NDA.
          Some staunch opponents of BJP-RSS are also visualising the down fall of their parties and are trying to allien with BJP.Jagdambika Pal,a one day CM of UP and a hardcore Congman ran away from Congress and is tempted to join BJP.Even Kalyan Singh resigned from Parliament and joined BJP.Ram Kripal Yadav,a fellow partyman of Lalu Yadav having been denied ticket from his old constituencty Patliputra is going to join BJP.He had the option to go with JDU of Nitish Kumar but he could sence better future withBJP seeing the wind.In Bihar,57% people feel that Narendra Modi is better Primeministerial candidate.In Madhya Pradesh,Bhagirat Singh was given a ticket by Congress a day earlier but he rejected the Congress nomination and joined BJP.
              Most surprising is South.Ms.J.Jayalalitha had an alliance with Left and she declared Prime Ministerial aspiration but on seat adjustment rejected Left and could allign with Modi,may be post poll.Ms Purandeshwari,a minister in UPA 2 resigned ftom Congress to join BJP.In Seemandhra,it is reported that TDP is likely to allign with BJP.Even in Telangana where Congress expected that Candrashekar Rao's TSR would merge with Congress but he has rejected meger with Congress and favouring BJP to allign.Surprisingly,Owaisi's MIM has already sealed alliance with TRS.Does it mean MIM will allign with BJP?Last night Arnab Goswami on TIMESNOW categorically asked Owaisi which was denied by Owaisi.But I shall not be taken back by surprise if there is BJO-TRS-MIM alliance takes place in Telangana because it is season for walking zig zag.In politics ,everything is possible and if it is not then it is not politics.If one wants to walk straight,politics is not meant for him.Walking zig zag is the art in politics.
