 बैल बुद्धि A New Kind of Leadership in India

Non-Biological Leader of India

 

The recent political climate in India has witnessed significant turbulence, especially with the aftermath of the sub-elections across 13 seats in seven states. Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently faced a series of setbacks that have raised questions about his leadership and future in Indian politics. A notable incident was his perceived humiliation when no high-level members of his party leadership were there to receive him upon his return from Russia. This episode, coupled with the recent electoral defeats, has significantly impacted his and his party's image.

The INDIA bloc's substantial victory in the sub-elections across 13 seats in seven states has further compounded Modi's challenges. These results not only reflect a shift in public sentiment but also bolster the ongoing legal battle concerning 50 contested seats from the general elections. The public's preference for change is evident, indicating a growing desire for new leadership in the country.

The sub-elections, occurring less than 45 days after the general election results on June 4th, highlight a clear message from the electorate: they seek a new Prime Minister. Despite accusations of Modi's administration securing power through questionable means, the voters' voice in these recent elections underscores their demand for legitimate governance.

Rumors of dissatisfaction within the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) suggest that Modi's position as the head of the BJP is increasingly precarious. Criticism of his governance, particularly the perceived favoritism towards businessmen from Gujarat, has alienated many party members. Additionally, questions about his mental health and educational qualifications have intensified scrutiny on his ability to lead effectively.

The defeat of the NDA in these sub-elections is expected to have significant repercussions for the upcoming state elections in Maharashtra and Haryana. The strengthened position of the INDIA bloc could reshape the political landscape, challenging the BJP's dominance.

The Supreme Court's recent ruling in favor of Mr. Kejriwal, granting him interim bail and admonishing the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for its stringent use of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), reflects a judicial pushback against the executive's overreach. This judgment serves as a caution to the ED, particularly in the context of the Modi administration's waning influence.

Prime Minister Modi's tenure is increasingly being scrutinized for his qualifications and governance style. The derogatory labels and criticisms from opposition leaders have resonated with the public, diminishing his stature. Despite his adeptness in securing lucrative contracts for allies, his political maneuvers with leaders like Naidu and Nitish Kumar may eventually backfire.

The BJP's internal dynamics are also under strain, with alliances and rivalries coming to the fore. Notably, Anurag Thakur's partnership with Varun Gandhi suggests a strategic alignment, potentially to mitigate future fallout from corruption allegations that have marred Modi's tenure.

The recent political developments highlight a critical juncture for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP. The electorate's call for change, coupled with internal dissent and judicial scrutiny, paints a challenging picture of Modi's future as India's Prime Minister. The upcoming state elections will be pivotal in determining the political trajectory of the BJP and the broader landscape of Indian politics.

Modi will go down in history as one of the least qualified to be the Prime Minister of India and the kind of words he has used against the leaders of the opposition are beneath the office of the Prime Minister, and as he is getting old, the problem is getting worse. When the Congress cell called Mr. Modi a “बैल बुद्धि,” this hash-tag got stuck with him so quickly that whenever this word comes up now, then people start thinking of Modi. Voters are not stupid, they can see the kind of statements he has made and makes, can only be made by someone with a very low IQ. For one thing, Modi is not “बैल बुद्धि” when it comes to helping his friends to get those big government contracts, and for that he will do anything to stay in power. The deals that he has been making with Naidu and Nitish will blow up in their faces one day, and for that reason, Modi is working hard to break these parties so that he can get to his 272 seats under the BJP tag. But he has a very high mountain to climb and if the BJP loses big in the upcoming state elections, then I am not sure if Modi will survive as the PM of India, because his party may push him out to survive in the next elections. The writing is on the wall that the stock of the BJP party is falling, and once out of power, many may end up in prison therefore everyone has started to work on how to avoid that. Suddenly Anurag Thakur's pairing with Varun Gandhi seems like he knows something is coming down that could turn bad for him and therefore having this relationship may help him one day avoid being attached to all the corruption that has taken place under Modi while he was also in the Ministry and overlooked these crimes or maybe was a party to those crimes. Today I came to know about another incident in Orissa where the son of the governor of the state beat up a government official just because he did not provide him with two luxury cars on his arrival. Another incident is about his nephew and all these are members of the BJP party. All these people think that while in power it makes them kings, and everyone else is there to serve them. They have reduced the bureaucrats into servants to the government as they are required to act on anything that helps this party to stay in power. Since many of them may have corruption charges that they do not want to be disclosed and are willing to do whatever the BJP leadership wants them to do, but I do not believe that every one of these guys is on sale and will do whatever the BJP wants them to do. We just need to sit and watch how the wheel turns in the next few months in politics in India.
