Day 475

 

Time flies very fast. It’s a month since I wrote my last post. Sometimes I worry that how times flows so fast. Indeed, I was busy in my professional work but believe me it wasn’t hard to find time and topic to write for the post. But I don’t know why this happened that I couldn’t write for a month. Well, one thing is good that the culprits of the Red Fort tragedic incidence has been caught. They are booked under the various sections of the IPC.

But one thing is still wondering me. It has been more than three months that the farmers protest is still going on. All the farmer unions are saying that all of them are poor farmers and they are fighting for the basic rights. But my question to them is that if they are poor farmers then how are they surviving without money for three months? All of them are having food since the protest started if they aren’t having money with them? How come they arranged for the diesel for so many tractors on 26 January? If they are really poor then how come they are paying for the tents in which they are using since the starting of the protest?

In my view, all the leaders of the farmer protestors are big farmers who have acres of agricultural land for cultivation under their control. Otherwise it’s not possible to survive for more than three months for the poor farmers without work and with extra expenditure. I think they are getting support from some political parties who want to have the disturbance around the borders of the NCR. It’s very unfortunate to see that now the pure farmers protest has taken political form now. Various opposition parties have joined the farmers protest. Although Rakesh Tikket is saying that no political leader is allowed to share the stage with the protesting farmer leaders. But if political leaders are coming and joining the protestors then its obvious understood thing that there is some political angle in this. This fact can’t be denied.

Actually, I’m seeing something else behind this. Well, I’m remembering 2015. At that time, elections were due in Bihar and Delhi. At that time, before the elections a wave of intolerance flew in the country as a result a complete gang of award returning came in existence. These people were awarded during the UPA-2 regime for their valuable contributions in various fields. But suddenly, they felt that they aren’t safe in India. They returned the award to the Modi government but didn’t returned the cash prize along with that. How can you just return the trophy or the medal alone when you had received some cash amount along with that trophy? Well, the insecurity wasn’t was with these so called intellectuals but few of superstars of Bollywood and their families felt that India isn’t secure for them. They were ready to move out of the country. I’m still surprised to see them living comfortably in the country even after six years of their award returning act.

Actually, it was a propaganda used to misguide and let the voters so that they keep BJP from the power. In Bihar, Mr Nitish Kumar left the NDA and went to form alliance with his arch enemy RJD and Congress. But after about six months, the real face of intolerance and award returning came to its original form. All these things were designed by the opposition parties to defame Narendra Modi and his party so that BJP couldn’t come to power anymore.

Likewise there is elections in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam and Pondicherry are going to be held now. But I think that all these farmer protests and the new trend on a social media platform for giving the jobs are just another political gimmick to defame the Modi government just to stop BJP from coming to power. But they are forgetting that there was reelection in Delhi because no party was able to form the government at that time. In Bihar, Nitish Kumar rejoined NDA after two and half years.

Let’s see what happens in the future time. It will be inappropriate to say anything right now. Actually, I’m not on the side of Modi government and BJP although my today’s post might have seemed like that. But I’m worried about the current status of the opposition parties. Rahul Gandhi gave a statement about the political differences in North India and South India. I think he is trying to say that voters in South India are wise but voters of North India aren’t that much wise. Frankly speaking, I didn’t understand what he meant to say. There is no other major opposition party than Congress. Others are regional parties who didn’t have the status of the national party. In short, I think there is no strong opposition party to oppose Mr Narendra Modi.
