Prologue :
Date:14/02/2014, Valentine's Day. Another day from the long string of "Days" observed by Indian Youths as a part of their Act West ( Look Cool is silent ) Policy. The coffee bar is deserted, with only a few recipients entertaining it with their presence. Perhaps, even the bar is dusted watching the little teens make promises for life, which however, shall end in a fortnight. But there is an Aberration. A group of bachelors, Gautam, Om, Murtaza and Digvijay, are observing a birthday of one of their goons, Om. Even not capable of making promises to themselves, they transient to a Political Talk from the celebrations. This further proves to be a docile act of "chipping in" the discussion which now engulfs almost the whole bar. Except an old man who still prioritizes his Irish Coffee.
A wounded BJP has gambled on the Ambiguous Narendra Modi. Initially, the move was received with a notion of skepticism. But as the campaign has progressed, the 64 year old is discussed more. Notorious for the "Godhara Kand" and accoladed for the Gujarat Model, Modi has left observers bamboozled.
"I think he would make a much better PM then the current one," serves Gautam for counter.
"Let's not forget the Ahmedabad Massacre. He is a cold blooded murderer." counters Murtaza.
"The SIT has acquitted him from all the charges," chips in the waiter
"Yeah but deep inside we all know the truth" an enthusiastic coffee neighbor.
"Well, I shall opt for NOTA. Neither of them are good, anyway." exclaimed Om.
And there were various serves and counters. But the ball didn't rest in any court.
Digvijay, less receptive of all, was enduring his "Café Latte". Upon confrontation, he shrugged off the topic declaring that Mr.Modi would enjoy a majority mandate, however not on his merit. Astonishment struck the audience. Digvijay promised to reason with his statement after 4 years of the Modi Government, around the vicinity of next elections. The rest is history. People involved were bewildered by the unprecedented victory of Modi as well as the right prediction of Digvijay. Digvijay arranged the gathering and they met at the same place on Date : 11/11/2018. ( Ironically, Singles' Day ).
Digvijay's Explanation:
Indians are difficult to comprehend. We are full of Inertia. At the same time, we are desperate for change. Calling us Fickle Minded would definitely not be an understatement. 2014 General Elections is a perfect example of the same. We are too magnanimous, too generous to give one a Chance without contemplating the consequences. While this is desirable for Freshers' , it is not universal.
10 Years of Indian National Congress..... Bored..... Let's change. Option : All time Charismatic Narendra Modi. Maybe, PM Modi was sound enough. ( By this I am not Criticizing Narendra Modi. He has done far better than INC. On the contrary, I am applauding his analytics. )
Influence adversely affects Indians. We are lazy enough to be at our wits' end for literally anything. Politics has flourished on this attribute. The culprit here are not the Politicians but we. Unlike US, there are No Public Debates where the candidates prove themselves worthy. Instead there are public rallies full of accusations and counter accusations. Indians decide their vote based on these. They let their control be in hands of the orator. Maybe, we are not worthy for any bureaucratic debates thanks to the pathetic condition of our education which has not reached to every living entity.
A person claims something fancy and Indians count on it no matter how impoverish it's chances are for fulfillment. There is no "Second Thought" applied, in colloquial terms. And if these guys rage about the inefficiency of government it's not fair play.Round the corner, it is a tough time for Modi Government, which is reflexive of the fickle minded nature of Indians. Catering to this, Influence has been the fore-runner coupled with lack of rational analysis. INC is leaving no stone unturned for getting back in power. Some of their claims are reasonable. For e.g.: The Fancy Propaganda led by PM Modi of bringing back Black Money in 15 days. This also had to be rationally evaluated. But the appeasement can be The Strong Foreign Policy, Innovative Schemes and a ray of hope which PM Modi carries with him.
Also, during the Congress Regime, there were various good decisions unnoticed such as Recession Tackle, India's GDP touching 10, betterment of Railways and Structured Budget. Overshadowing these were COAL SCAM, 2G SCAM, Family Preference Issues, etc. And unfortunately, Indians, without any deep analysis and thinking, were bored from INC and due to this very reason didn't elect Narendra Modi but just gave him a chance. And also, Indians are least concerned about various steps of government, They just want the bigger picture, an external influence to tell them that whom they should vote in 2019.
Epilogue:
The gathering was put to shame by Digvijay. The Coffee Mugs were left untouched cause being the the confrontation of reality. But this reasoning of Digvijay enlightened the niche. They decided to choose the worthy in the forthcoming elections. When they were leaving the coffee house, they confronted a large procession, with hoardings that said:
"आपने मोदीजी को 5 साल दिए , अब राहुलजी को भी 5 साल दीजिए" . They heard various people in their vicinity to give their vote to INC. When confronted, they said :
"अरे मोदी को try करके देख लिया , अब राहुल को try करते है !"
HAIL TO ALL GODS!!
