Understanding Alchemy of Modi's victory.
by Ananda Gudi on Dec 24, 2007 12:00 PM

We have been hearing about Modi's leadrship, admisniatrative capability, oratorial skills etc. But at the same time we tend to overlook his weaknesses - arrogance, commuanl hatred, not being inclusive, dicatatorial etc.

Thus, we have to ask a question whether we need a leader who has this mixed baggage? How do we define development? Should not development be inclusive and involve all strata of society? Is developemnt means only big industries?

We are in a period in which all political parties have lost moral right. How can Congress who killed thosuands of Sikhs preach on morality to others? How can communists who killed poor peasants in Nandigram be holier than thou? However, there is a small difference between these parties and Modi. That is remorse. Both these parties publicly apologised for whatever happenned. But i do not see that happenning in BJP and Modi. Let me clarify that I do not hold any brief for Congress and Communists here.

Modi can become the leader this country needs if he shows compassion, humility and treat every Indian as equal. If he strives for an inclusive growth of all strata of Gujarati society. He has reached the pinnacle and now is the time for transformation. Can he do it? I am an optimist. We look forward to that change in the next five years and wish him all the best.
