In India, we are now witnessing a leadership crisis. Hardly any leaders are visible. Narendra Modi is an exception. Just like in old days, when people had to vote for Congress just to get Indira Gandhi elected to the post of Prime Minister, today, Gujratis are having to vote BJP, which is a party of no principles, to get Modi as their Chief Minister.

the chap can't handle a reporter - let alone extremely articulate leaders of foreign countries. He maybe a Hridaya Samrath of Gujarat - the English speaking educated class outside Gujarat think he is a buffoon and a mass murderer. And it is this class which makes sure who rules the country and who does not. Even when BJP was in power in center - it was only the slightly secular BJP leaders who were allowed to function.

rightly said. forget what the pseudo-secula media has to say for the post-godhra. but even for the godhra carnage, look at their reporting which was such a bad to instigate the normal hindus. immediately on the next day of the train carnage, i.e. 28th Feb. 2002 reporting by the eng media: (1) that there was a verbal fight between one tea vendor and karsevaks at Godhra rly. Station, that fight resulting in his anger and led to the gathered mob attacking the train. Media reported the incident as if the karsevaks were responsible for the mob's behaviour of burning the train, indirectly justifying the reaction of tea vendor and his group to the action of the verbal fight. (here action-reaction formula is justified by them but the same formula is not justified when the post-godhra outburst starts.) (2) some reported that there was some allegation of molestation of one woman at the station leading to the mob burning train and some rubbish thing. Even after passage of 6 months, when during the attack on akshardham temple, reporting by editor of one leading eng daily: "inspite of attack on akshardham temple and death of 'innocent' devotees (karsevaks were not %u2018innocent%u2019!), no riots took place. whereas, in post-godhra, %u2018at least%u2019 there was some fight between tea vendor and the karsevaks (to instigate the mob to burn the train)" thereby justifying the action-reaction theory for the mob burning the train. However, porst-godhra reaction is not justified by the same media.

In fact, the dangerous culprits in this case are the so-called educated pseudo-secular media ppl. For the the mob attacking the train, v can atleast say they were uneducated fanatics. But the media justifying reaction of burning train for the verbal fight is unthinkable. Can anybody enlighten, under the law of the land (CrPC), a verbal fight would get one how many months%u2019 jail, or whether it gets him sentenced to death, by court. Even a person killing some1 is not hanged to death by the courts. (not to think of some1 like afzal guru who inspite of being sentenced to death by court will be ultimately favoured for his mercy petition by the President). But here media says karsevaks deserved to be burnt for the verbal fight. If such is the reporting of the blind media making fool of general public, they need to be thrashed by one and all.

Man. I would have appriciated Modi had he punished those who burnt the train in Godhra.
But he involved in killing those hundreds of innocent people who were living a common life like we do. Then how come Modi can be called as Hero. He is a living devil man.
