After Narendra Modi’s speech in SRCC, the liberals and the pseudo seculars are a frustrated lot. You just have read their reactions. Pro Congress journalists are either ignoring the speech (like The Hindu) or offering very reluctant praise followed by extreme criticism and raising the Hindu extremism bogey. Some idiot has gone ahead and called the SRCC audience right wing students (I have met SRCC students. They are all very liberal people). Someone is saying that Modi has done a Chetan Bhagwat completely ignoring the fact that this speech has been made in one form or the other well before this one.
Of course the Congress supporters and leaders are running from pillar to post trying their best to either discredit the speech or the speaker, labeling him as a state level leader amongst other things.
The angrier and more frustrated these pseudo-seculars become the more I am convinced that Modi is doing the right thing. The liberal responses betray their unease and a fear of what is to come. That is certainly comforting to the conservatives
Before the Gujarat elections, Ajmal Kasab was hung. We had contended that it was a political ploy to win brownie points from the voters on security matters. Afzal Guru’s crimes were much older than Kasab’s and even then he was kept alive. How many of you think that even though it was the right thing to do and way overdue, the timing betrays the real reason behind it? Congress wants to divert the public / media attention from Modi’s game changing speech. When Modi takes the next big step on the national stage, whom is the Congress going to hang? Poor terrorists must really hate Modi right now.
Anyway, this was just one speech and that too in New Delhi. The speech Modi is going to make or should make in a big college in UP (Allahabad University or Lucknow University) will be the most important speech of his life. It is because the road to center goes through UP. Also, the response to Modi’s speech will become more virulent (thanks to SP and BSP). Modi like an elephant will have to leave these yapping dogs behind and soldier on in the name of the good fight.
Great Blog...
ReplyDeleteThough I agree in essence with your post, I cant help feel disappointed about the fact you stated - It is because the road to center goes through UP- pity the clowns in UP will decide the fate of India.
