Gujarat elections are over and
the results are out for everybody to see. Detractors of Modi have taken a
beating but this clan has shifted the goal posts now. Modi fell short of his
previous tally of 117 seats, you see! In the process of undermining his
tremendous achievement, they are even maligning the electorate of Gujarat. Some
lesser known leaders from BJP's "secular" ally JD(U) started their
same rant on TV channels - "There is no change in our stand that PM
candidate should have secular credentials". However, deep within their
hearts, all these "secular" entities know that this election was a
watershed and Modi is an unstoppable force now. Gujarat is not separate from
India and just like Gujaratis, people across India, want quality governance and
not false promises which commoditize communities in the shape of vote bank.
This blatantly vitriolic and abrasive misinformed propaganda campaign again
highlights an increasingly growing problem we are facing - vote bank politics.
