 Breaking News: Modi’s Nightmare Kejriwal in Power

Power of Kejriwal

The current political landscape in India is marked by a dramatic confrontation between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), particularly its key figures, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. In a revealing moment during a recent television interview, Modi acknowledged his government's inability to substantiate any allegations linking AAP to a purported liquor scam, even though AAP leaders remain detained without clear justification. Further fueling the controversy, Modi publicly called Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal a "clever thief" at a rally, an accusation against the backdrop of claims that the BJP received ₹60 crore from the principal figure in the scandal.

The prospect of imprisonment for Modi and Shah post-election seems more likely, given the absence of any substantial support network that might otherwise help mitigate their legal challenges. Notably, their potential vulnerabilities are amplified by AAP's ideological thrust towards transparency and accountability, which may push the INDIA bloc to advocate for their prosecution, despite potential objections from influential figures like Sharad Pawar, who also has ties with major industrialists.

The historical context here involves Modi's treatment of Congress leaders Rahul and Sonia Gandhi, who were subjected to various forms of harassment under his administration. This history makes it unlikely that Modi could rely on their support in his times of need. Additionally, any judicial favoritism Modi might hope for, due to past engagements, would be hard to justify publicly, further complicating his situation.

The Hindi adage "जैसी करनी वैसी भरनी" (As you sow, so shall you reap) perfectly encapsulates the current scenario, suggesting that Modi and Shah could face a harsh reality if incarcerated—not the comfort of VIP treatment previously afforded to political figures in similar situations, but the standard harsh conditions of regular imprisonment. Furthermore, allegations of Shah's involvement with the Election Commission in manipulating electoral outcomes add another layer of controversy, with many hoping these efforts will ultimately fail.

This tumultuous backdrop came to the fore during my recent interaction with an elderly poet. After sharing a politically charged poem that critiqued the BJP, based on true events, his defensive query—"If not Modi, then who?"—sparked a deep discussion about India's parliamentary system. This system is designed to prevent the consolidation of power in a single figure, thereby protecting against the rise of a dictator—a safeguard that seems increasingly pertinent as Modi's administration continues to attract criticism.

The emotional response of BJP supporters to the poem, ranging from denial to anger, confirmed its impact and underscored the significant political divisions within Indian society. This situation illustrates the challenges and controversies surrounding Modi's leadership as India continues to navigate a complex and often contentious democratic process.
