Being a
denizen of Gujarat for the past three decades, I completely admire the
activities of Gujarat Government under the stewardship of Mr. Narendra
Modi. His rhetorical power and administrative capability have
made Gujarat a prosperous state.
Despite
all these activities and his contribution, Mr. Amartya Sen opines that he is
not a prime ministerial candidate; I accept the connotation.
The
Prime Minister of India must be acceptable to all over the world because he is to be connected
politically across the globe. His secularism background does not advocate
for the same.
Geographically,
India is a vast country with various cross cultures. It is difficult for a
person like Mr. Narendra Modi to control and enhance the growth of India
particularly because of his image. Now, the country is passing through a
bad phase economically and also politically. Under the circumstances, he is not
the ideal candidate for the Prime Minister. Even if he is very
successful, he is not to be considered and to be elevated to the topmost
echelon of the country. For example, if a cricketer is playing Duleep
Trophy or Ranji Trophy matches very successfully, he cannot be made captain of
Indian team. At the most, he can be included in Indian team.
Though
Mr. Modi has many positive attributes say one of the most non-corrupted
politicians, very articulate, can convince the masses to support him, people
are ready to cast votes for him, but the way he prosecuted Godhra riots in
2002, very many people still recognize him as an anti - minority community.
The horrendous and heinous activities performed by his associates on those days
remind us the sequel. “Rome is burning and Nero is playing flute”. As an able
administrator, he could have stood behind the minority communities and gained
their accolade. By choosing the reverse path, he became the hero of
Gujarat mainly with the upper communities and in this process; he himself
buried his latent desire to become Prime Minister one day.
For the
past 3-4 of years, he has put his best efforts to change this image, but many people are not
accepting his initiative. In politics, when one aspires to be the Prime
Minister of the country, he has to develop a non secular image for
himself. Only rhetorical power coupled with the administrative and
functional ability do not support his wish.
