I am back after a prolonged hiatus from blog and this is my first post since the Sonia/ MMS ‘mysteriously’ managed electoral survival. Well, not only that – but managed to come back with more nos of seats than last time too. Sure, MMS by virtue of being a career bureaucrat all his life; knows the ‘art of survival’.
Well, where the credit to Madame Sonia ‘Maino’ Gandhi and Crowned Prince is understandable nevertheless the role of Media especially of the Liberal – Secular variety can not be underestimated either. May be that is precisely why the News Queen and News Raja were suitably awarded by the Sonia’s Prime Minion!!!
If in case this person had failed to deliver the desired results; the powers to be had one back up plan ready to meet that contingency. i.e.: in case of hung verdict the other ‘right’ person at ‘right’ place for the ‘right’ decision would have come in to play.
Congress has ruin ruled India for long and has perfected the art of managing ‘constitutional posts’ very well. History proves my point.
Look at the post ‘results 2009’ political scene. Methodically; difficult allies like Left are decimated. Blackmailing allies like Laloo and Paswan are biting dust. Stream of corrupt politicians (Balu, Raja etc) from MDMK- though are back, but chastened somewhat. Missionary minister like Ramdoss of PMK ‘blew away’. Potential threats from Maya, Jaya, Naidu etc. is checked and mated well. Political dalals (as we saw in action July last year during No Confidence motion) are jobless. And for sure the ‘Communal BJP’ is routed.
Congress never had it so good in recent times. WOW!
All this with single digit increase in % share of votes!
Single digit % increase in votes resulting in almost 100 seats gain!
UNBELIEVABLE you say!
For no other reason, I call this ‘the perfect election planning’. Kudos to Sonia ‘Maino’ Gandhi!
Spin-misters of Congress dynasty masquerading as ‘journalists’ and/or outright Congress stooges deeply embedded in Sec-Soc ‘main stream media’ are smug and gloating over ‘the mysterious’ win of Congress. In their collective wisdom the victory of Congress is attributed to the ‘Tayag’ of Sonia, to smiling dimpled face of Crowned Prince and yes to Dr. ‘the economist’ PM too is mentioned in some passing reference. How every one including this ‘Great’ did not see the PRO Congress Wave before results 2009? No body answers.
Mata Ji Tusi Great Ho! Sachi Muchi!
Jaikara Maata 10 Janpath Walli Da…
Bol Sonia Tere Darbaar Ki Jai.
MMS in his earlier avatar as PM was a big disappointment, had very little to boost of, for positives (if any) the credit was appropriated by Maa Balidaan Moorti and the Crowned Prince and for majority of all things MMS govt failed miserably, blame was passed conveniently on to the difficult allies like Left or to blackmailer like Laloos or to corrupt Balu and Raja or to opportunistic Ram Vilas etc. MMS as Prime Minion Minister either knew nothing or did nothing. Even it took him FULL FOUR years to fire this ‘Zombie’!
If at all one and only achievement credited to MMS was: The Nuclear ‘NoClear’ deal! Right from beginning it was mired in one controversy followed by another and finally was finalized at the cost of ‘democracy’ with active support of ‘Power brokers’ and conniving Media ‘stalwarts’. Worst fears expressed against the deal then; have come to fore now.
Having said above, I wish us Billion + Indians good luck (we need it and loads of it) – like it or not, with MMS as ‘nominated’ PM yet again for another five years or till the ‘youthful’ no more @ 39 Crowned Prince decide to decide how to carry on the legacy of mis-governance inherited from ‘the great Nana dear of Daddy dear’ – in which ever case we are doomed/destined to be misgoverned by Sonia ‘Maino’ Gandhi and her son and then grand son/daughter…
History seldom provides another opportunity to any; but MMS has got another chance (thanks to Mata Ji). I being a democrat (howsoever flawed it may be, yet it is best option as I see it) hope MMS won’t fail HIS Nation this time; at least for as long as he remains as Prime Minion Minister. He has served the ‘Dynasty’ for far too long and with distinction. Of course! I fervently hope that this time at least he would serve the nation too. Even if with half a commitment as he has for the ‘Family’, it would be good job done.
If Sonia ‘Maino’ Gandhi had always been ‘loyal’ to her ‘Countryman’ using/abusing YOU (MMS govt), what stops MMS to help OWN ‘really poor’ fellow Countrymen, Women and Children! Using this ‘mysterious win’ to his (in the interest of his own country) advantage he can do it- if he so wants. Time for MMS to prove he is ‘The Prime Minister’ of a billion strong Nation called ‘BHARAT’ not merely a ‘Prime Minion’ of one family @ 10 Janpath alone.
Dr. MMS wish you are listening. Are you? I wish you luck and hope you would prove to be more than just a ‘survivor’ and ‘pension seeker’ unlike any other good ‘Career Babu’.
As for BJP: This defeat presents an opportunity to introspect and do that sincerely. May be we are heading towards bipolarity of politics, though it still is premature to say so conclusively. It is high time to put act together and bounce back, Bharat would do well to have a strong ‘Right leaning’ counter force against the onslaught of ‘supposedly secular forces’.
Friends, whatever is happening in BJP is not necessarily bad (as made out and amplified by MSM) rather this ‘churning’ will help BJP and new leadership emerge and ‘strongly’ too. One way forward is to go back to basics and stop try to being secular.
What ever BJP may try; two things are certain…
- The ‘Most Secular’ 15% of Indian population would just not vote for you.
- The ‘Sec-Soc’ liberal and progressive media would only foul mouth any thing ‘Hindi, Hindu and Hindutava’.
MSM through this victory of ‘Dynasty’ has tasted the blood. The mighty omniscient, omni known and omnipresent ‘Sec- Soc Liberal and Progressive’ media might pose a serious challenge to the Bharat.
Prudent Indian.
PI, whatever said, I am happy with these election results, for many reasons. And believe me, I have been a traditional BJP voter. But this time I voted for Caangress.
And heck no, I am not even a pseudo-sec! First thing that pissed me off about BJP was the negative “personalized” campaign. The unnecessary macho attitude and anger of most BJP guys is another turn-off. Their performance as an Opposition Party was a turn off too, with the hooliganism inside/outside the Parliament. They do need some serious ‘chintan baithak’ now. India needs a strong a Right-wing party, but BJP in its current avatar needs to do plenty to occupy that space.
I hope BJP uses this opportunity and get some old Vajpayee kind of grace and dignity back. Right now, they come across as name-calling school boys. I hope all the best for BJP, only if they manage to reinvent themselves.
Having said that, as you pointed out too, what makes me the happiest is all these thugs-blackmailers-kingmakers like Lalu/Mulayam/Maya/Jaya/CPM etc are safely flushed down the loo.
