Modi absolutely is an powerful orator, the elections is on the brink, so he does not want to be limited only to his speaking capability,he has written something good after a long interval, and his written blog is truthfully stunning. He has written the same what is expected expected from him.
The latest blog that he has written at the time when almost all the big Congress leaders including Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and Manmohan Singh were in his home state of Gujarat. The congress party put forward a direct challenge to Modi by holding a meeting of the Working Committee and rally in the land of Gandhi.
Modi had earlier written a blog on his app on 31st October 2018 on the birth anniversary of Sardar Patel. His blog can be read in 13 languages including Hindi, English and Gujarati besides Urdu. The title of his blog is- ‘When a handful of salt shakes the English empire’.
A handful of salt is the reason, why the occasion is the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi’s Dandi Yatra. Mahatma Gandhi is often remembered by Prime Minister Modi, but the purpose of remembering Gandhi just before the elections is branded as completely political.
He started in his blog like this: “Do you know who played the most important role in planning Gandhiji’s Dandi March? Indeed, the man behind this successful Nationalists Movement was Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel”.

Here we should look at the word ‘our’, it is also for our ‘Gujaratis’, also for patriots and for the BJP. This is Patel who, as Home Minister, had banned the BJP’s Maternal Organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the reason for the ban was Gandhi’s assassination.
However, after the ban, the then Sarsangh-chalak Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar wrote a letter to Sardar Patel, in his reply, Patel wrote in his letter dated September 11, 1948, “The Sangh has served the Hindu society but RSS attacks Muslims on the sentiment of revenge. In your every speech, there is nothing more than communal poison . Consequently the result was that the country had to sacrifice Gandhi for whom we got the dream freedom. After the assassination of Gandhi, the RSS people celebrated and shared sweet sweets. In such a situation, it was necessary for the government to ban the RSS. “
In spite of this, if Modi praised Patel, should he consider it as noble or a political diplomacy?
He wrote in his blog, “It is unfortunate that the culture of Congress has been completely contrary to Gandhian ideology”.
But, the problem is that Modi can not hide his vested political interest by criticizing the Congress, but sometimes it reflects clearly as mere a political vendetta. The issues on which he is pulling out Congress, if he is considered to be the benchmark, then the behavior of his own BJP and its inspiration may create problems for Modi.
For example, look at this statement of PM Modi’s blog- “Congress has never hesitated to divide the society, the incidents of the most horrendous racist riots and massacre of Dalits have taken place under Congress rule”.

Now just look at the last five years of Modi’s Gujarat and the country in the light of the above-mentioned sentence.Ever one know , how dalits of this Nation are being treated by this Modi Government.India knows that one can not hide , how the secularism turns mere a word in the Constitution of India.
Modi tries to show that the BJP is exactly opposite from the Congress, the Congress is all black and all white in his BJP forgetting the truth of ’50 Shades of Gray’ in Bhartiya Janta Party(BJP).
In his blog, Modi writes, “Bapu, while emphasizing the spirit of sacrifice, taught that it is not good to run away from the property more than the requirement, whereas Congress has done this against the teachings of Bapu, Only work to adopt a high society lifestyle “.
The biggest leaders of the world’s largest political party are most pleased with the big billionaires, as if these industrialists have earned billions by serving the poor people of this country. The relations of the existing Government with the corporate world is the same, as it was with the Congress earlier. Some people even post and share pictures in various social Media in which billionaire Mukesh Ambani is standing with Mr Prime Minister or stands on the back of PM Modi.

After this Modi ji has hurt the dynasty of Congress, it is such a weakness of the Congress which can be exploited with a lot of benefits. He knows this thing well.
Modi wrote in his blog – “Bapu used to condemn dynastic politics, but at the top of the story, today it has become the prime rule of the Congress”.
Dynasty has been the identity of the Congress, there is no doubt in it that Priyanka has been called when required by the Party . In Congress rarely a person outside the family came in the role of leadership. People outside the family were such as Narasimha Rao and Sitaram Kesari .
It is true that the people of the two top leaders of BJP are not in politics at this time but there are twenty-two party leaders like Rajnath Singh, Vasundhara Raje, Yeddyurappa and Lalji Tandon whose children have been set in politics. Will Mr Modi including his party can never deny.
Democracy, Emergency and Modi
Emergency is a stigma in the history of Congress, which is very difficult for congress to wash. The Congress can not have any answer on the issue of Emergency.
Modi has written in his blog, “Congress gave emergency to the country, this was the time when our democratic sentiments were trampled and not only the Congress misused Article 356 of the time and also was used to dismiss the then government also. “.
Now if you examine BJP on these scales, then you must find how the Ruling BJP played the politics for the vested political interest.By dismissing the Government in Arunachal Pradesh ,BJP proclaimed emergency and the Apex Court of India turned bound to intervene and overturned the decision of BJP on july 13-July-2016 re-elected Nabam Tuki again as the Chief Minister.
<a data-snax-placeholder="Source" class="snax-figure-source" href="https://www.thequint.com/voices/opinion/uttarakhand-crisis-likely-to-keep-govt-on-its-toes-in-parliament-harish-rawat-congress-resolution-in-rajya-sabha" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.thequint.com/voices/opinion/uttarakhand-crisis-likely-to-keep-govt-on-its-toes-in-parliament-harish-rawat-congress-resolution-in-rajya-sabha</a>
Similarly, Harish Rawat government of Uttarakhand was also dropped as per the BJP’s decision which was found incorrect on May 12, 2016 by the Supreme Court and declared Harish Rawat the Chief Minister again.
Article 356 was misused, If any anti-BJP person says this, you can dismiss it but astonishingly it was the opinion of Yashwant Sinha, senior minister in Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s cabinet. Let’s have a look in his statement
He Urged “Indira Gandhi destroyed the constitution constitutionally, she showed how to proclaim the emergency But the current Prime Minister has not destroyed the constitution but he has destroyed constitutional and democratic institutions and it absolutely looks alike the shadow of emergency”.
This is why, the truth is that Modi does show mirror to others, but forgets to show himself.
