Lesson to Media - Gujarat Elections

Tweet

People of Gujarat have shown you that you can not be fooling people endlessly. Superimposing your views and masquerading as public opinion under the garb of all kind of surveys and polls (at best of doubtful integrity). It will be good if you learn the lessons and start being what you are expected to be: Reporters who report the event (data and not interpretation) and not opine on it and start being demi-gods. ....

Time for Modi to change

Its really remarkable that Modi came back to power with almost 2/3 majority. Congratulations to him. No doubt he came back to power by completely polarising Gujarat, he systematically and intelligently targeted minorities in his speeches to spark off the communal divide, very effective for him to win the elections. I must say that job well done. He used the communal weapon to get back to power. But now he must learn to change, change to have inclusive growth of Gujarat, change which will be propagated to all sects and communities of Gujarat. Moreover if he or people think that now he is the material for Delhi, he must change his stance towards minorities to become widely accepted. To start with, nothing would be short of wondrous if he apologizes or express sorrow for post-Godhra riots, leave alone taking the responsibility. ....

BJP termed Modi as the Man of the Match. They forgot to thank Sonia who played as a Super Sub by saying "Merchant of death". But unfortunately, she played for the opponent. ....

Gujarat Verdict

The Gujarati voters have confirmed that they do not want the secularism practised by the UPA where Hindus are freely allowed to be killed without any resistance by the terrorists and the denial of justice to the anti-Sikh riot victims wherein the PM and his boss - the UPA chairperson - and allies have determined to ensure that the culprits will never be brought to book. They have also shown that it is only those who told the nation a bloody lie that the DMK had a role in the killing of Rajiv and pulled the Central Government down and forcing election on the country but subsequently rewarding them with ministerial berths of their choice, are the real culprits to be punished which they did it. The BJP is accused of playing communal politics. It has got the right do so so long as the UPA follows its....

MEdia

I talked to many many people y'day and today and everyone is talking about how media has got egg on its face after the results were announced. The ME (read me only) part of MEdia was so much pronounced that they forgot that there are other people in this country who might have different opinions than them. I could see happiness in the initial hours of counting on their faces where they said, even if Modi win "He is cut to size" (NDTV) OR Even if Modi wins "He can't get visa to western countries" OR "Even if Modi wins, BJP loses". Whoever wins or loses, I would request my media friends to leave ME from the Media discussions and INclude real people before making an opinion and make this country a better IN-DIA. ....

One thing I like about Narendra Modi is that he is not corrupt and he discourages corruption. It is a great victory for him and that is good for our democracy that clean politicians like him are around. ....

Future voting

Tweet

There can be many reasons for huge victory of BJP, but the Gujarati voters are sharp in speculations, as they are also anticipating NDA in power after next Lok Sabha election, and the people of Gujarat know that their progress can be doubled if NDA comes into power in Delhi. So, it's all about future voting. ....

Who's Lost n Why.

Modi's win was so comprehensive that discussions on election results threatened to turn boring. It was almost like a one-horse race! So most TV news channels diverted the issue to who won: BJP or Modi. Here's my list of losers and why they lost: SONIA GANDHI - for mindlessly reading out speeches written by a Bollywood script writer with dubious background. RAHUL GANDHI - the baba (kid) of Indian politics. The kid should be made to listen to Modi's speeches for nothing more than to learn how to modulate one's voice. PM MANMOHAN SINGH - the 15% prime minister who seems to have mortaged his intellect, soul and ego. CONGRESS PARTY - or whatever is left now. it was BJP's 'B' team to start with. PSEUDO SECULARISTS - every time the likes of Teesta Setalvads open their mounths, the distance between....

We saw in the past that so called intellectual media in general and political commenters in particular always had a problem with BJP. In this election it was the first time that they went beyond this image and were looking like unofficial spokespersons of Congress. We know everyone has a cause to criticise BJP through Hindutva. Still I'm not clear about their definition of secularism. Congress becomes secular after repeated incidents of riots like '84, bhagalpur, list goes beyond that. Communists have staged a Nandigram but they are secular...so can anyone please tell what is secularism? ....
