Unmasking Modi: The Hidden Agenda Behind India’s Election Scandal
Unmasking Modi: The Hidden Agenda
Behind India’s Election Scandal
Media Censorship in India
Under Modi
I recently came across a
provocative report by an Australian journalist that delves into Prime Minister
Narendra Modi's alleged dictatorial tendencies, linking them to the expansion
of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). This report highlights an unsettling
narrative, suggesting that Modi's true interests lie not in following the RSS's
governance model but in creating an India ruled by business magnates from
Gujarat. This approach mirrors a distorted form of capitalism, where an
uninformed leader is making critical decisions about the nation's future.
Modi’s leadership, often
perceived as medieval, flagrantly disregards the Indian Constitution. By hiding
behind Hindu religious symbols, he manipulates India's faith-based society,
resonating with Hindus and other communities who feel a false sense of security
under his rule. His popularity spans across various demographics, not just
Hindus, making it dangerous to dismiss him despite allegations of corruption.
Understanding the roots of his support is crucial to prevent similar leaders
from rising to power.
The recent departure of foreign
journalists, who were denied visa extensions, highlights the Indian
government’s attempt to suppress unbiased election coverage. It would have been
more impactful if these journalists had empowered local voices to tell their
own stories, reducing claims of biased reporting.
Post-Election Turmoil: BJP in
Disarray
The election results have
invigorated the opposition, while the BJP faces intense scrutiny. Internal
strife among BJP and RSS supporters is rampant, with social media amplifying
these conflicts and often ignoring the alleged election tampering. A transparent
election might have prevented the NDA from forming a government, as more than
70 seats are still under scrutiny for vote irregularities. The BJP’s
distraction tactics continue to deflect from critical issues.
There is growing dissatisfaction
among BJP members from various states, as Modi and Shah's leadership is accused
of diverting resources to Gujarat, fueling state leaders' resentment. Despite
this, no significant resignations have occurred, indicating a prioritization of
self-interest over accountability. The lack of principled leaders, like former
Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, is evident.
The opposition must maintain its
momentum, hoping that honest individuals within the government will break away
to form a government focused on public welfare over corporate interests.
Encouragingly, the judiciary has begun to assert its independence, issuing
rulings based on law rather than political pressure. If this trend continues,
demanding accountability for the election process could lead to the downfall of
the current corrupt administration.
