Hate speech by Sadhvi Jyoti: Why PM Modi's 'good governance' is under threat?
At a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is toiling hard to make India a developed and prosperous country, his Minister seems to be hell bent to put a break on Modi's agenda.
Modi on his recent sojourns to US, Japan and Australia was highly applauded for his leadership skills and recent initiatives like Make in India and Swachch Bharat Abiyan. They(US and Australia) all hoped that under the tutelage of Modi, India will regain global power status. Even Modi worked hard to bring foreign investments in India, so that flagging economy could be resuscitated.
But sadly, Modi's Minister doesn't think in the same way. In one of the vitriolic speech, Union Minister Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti said, "Aapko tay karna hai ki Dilli mein sarkar Ramzadon ki banegi ya haramzadon ki. Yeh aapka faisla hai".
After Prime Minister Narendra Modi disapproved the controversial remarks saying such comments were "not acceptable", the Minister finally apologized for the same. Modi, reportedly directed all Ministers to speak only about their concerned departments and leave national issue to Prime Minister and other big national leaders.
But opposition who is always on the lookout for such opportunity got enough fodder to mount attack on the Government. The Congress questioned the "culpable silence" of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the controversial remarks and suspected a political motive behind her utterances ahead of Delhi Assembly polls.
"What is Narendra Modi's stand on this? Why has he not condemned it so far? Before this, Giriraj Singh had also said such things and he was made a Minister. Why is he (Modi) quiet?, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi asked.
BJP faced consequence for Yogi Adityanath's inflammatory speech in UP by-poll
At
a
time,
when
Modi
is
trying
hard
to
take
along
all
sections
of
the
society
together,
Sadhvi's
comment
is
really
a
big
dampener.
BJP
earlier
had
paid
price
for
such
communal
remarks
by
Yogi
Adityanath
and
similar
ilks
in
Uttar
Pradesh
by-poll.
Imagine,
in
that
by-poll
people
gave
preference
to
Samajawadi
party
under
which
Law
and
order
hit
the
nadir
in
the
state
over
BJP.
This
all
happened
because
people
no
longer
wanted
destructive
politics,
rather
they
want
inclusive
politics.
In Lok Sabha and recent Haryana, Maharashtra elections, BJP was voted for development
In Parliamentary election, Modi led troop routed Congress because of the same theory. In all of the campaigning speech in run up to Lok Sabha election, Modi talked about jobs, development and prosperity. Even in election manifesto, party said that their motive is to take along all section of the society. Party said that it will not discriminate among people on basis of caste and religion.
After facing consequences in UP, Bihar by-poll, BJP did course correction and again got good result in Haryana and Maharashtra Assembly polls. BJP wrested out both States from Congress in spite of their their big fiefdom.
In Maharashtra, BJP registered historic victory even without long time ally, Shiv Sena. This happened because people wanted growth and development and Modi gave them hope for the same.
But this controversial remark by Sadhvi Niranjan may prove dampener in coming days. BJP headed by Modi, who till now has turned the wind in party's favour in both J&K and Jharkhand, may face consequence for such communal remark.
Destructive
overture
may
outweigh
constructive
politics
by
Modi
Govt
Recently,
the
Modi
Govt
completed
six
months
and
was
highly
appreciated
for
their
work
in
this
short
stint
of
time.
According
to
an
opinion
poll
conducted
by
Hindi
news
channel
News
Nation,
as
many
as
72
percent
of
Indians
are
satisfied
with
the
performance
of
Narendra
Modi
government
and
55
percent
feel
that
the
BJP
regime
has
been
successful
in
controlling
inflation.
The new dispensation has lots of achievements to brag about, especially the way Modi has given towering image to Indian diplomacy. The best proof of the good Governance is that even leaders from Opposition camp have also heaped praise upon Modi for innovative initiatives like Make in India and Swachh Bharat Abiyan. Good thing about the incumbent Government is the will power to improve things, which was largely missing in previous UPA.
But if these loudmouth Ministers will not be tamed timely, all constructive politics will prove just a futile exercise. Party will soon lost its charm among people, who gave BJP historic mandate in Lok Sabha poll.
Recently along with upright administrators like Manohar Parrikar and Suresh Prabhu, Modi Government also inducted tainted leaders like Niranjan Jyoti, Ram Shankar Katheria, Giriraj Singh in his team of Ministers. Though that is the matter of the past now, but it's high time Modi should reprimand all these loose canon Ministers and direct them to work for the betterment of people.
Ram
temple
issue
has
no
relevance
today
Today,
Mohammad
Hashim
Ansari,
one
of
the
oldest
litigants
in
Ayodhya
title
suits
has
said
that
Ram
Temple
has
become
politically
motivated
issue
now
and
he
no
longer
wants
to
fight
for
the
case.
Sulking
Hashim
reportedly
said
that
he
will
neither
pursue
the
case
nor
participate
in
any
kind
of
protest
or
mourn
meetings
on
December
6,
anniversary
of
the
Babri
Masjid
demolition.
He
said
that
politicians
over
the
years
milked
the
issue
for
their
vested
interests.
So, crux of the matter is both Hindu and Muslims want constructive, inclusive politics. Destructive politics has no takers at all.
